She would be obsessed with my house, I totally had her in mind when buying it. She’d think I was insanely cool and hopefully feel a sense of relief that the way she feels at 15, while really difficult, won’t last forever, there is a horizon. She also gets a massive hug from me, she did a tremendous job under heartbreaking circumstances.

This has been the defining struggle of my queer existence lol

It really is. It actually makes me sad. I’m the grown daughter of a father who sounds a lot like the person you responded to. I love my dad and it’s a complicated relationship as he really doesn’t think he’s a misogynist, he truly believes he’s just “telling it like it is.”

It made me furious for years and now it deeply saddens me. He will never have the chance to truly know his daughter because he is literally incapable of seeing me as an equal in terms of basic humanity. And that is sad because I’m delightful and smart and wickedly funny when I’m comfortable with someone, he doesn’t get to see the authentic version of his own offspring, what a loss…

Just last month, I left work early on a Thursday, met my now husband at the local courthouse, and we got married! Cost about $50 bucks. We’re happy as clams about it, our families wanted us to do more but, that sounds like a them problem honestly lol

I do feel differently. Not more committed, I’ve long been ride or die with this human, but I get this sweet, sudden uprush of cozy emotions when I say, “my husband”, or when he calls me “wife”. I love him a lot and it makes me simultaneously very proud and very humble to declare that publicly.

I read it from the beginning every time hahaha

Left work early and got a haircut!

Very recent, I’m still in the glowy happy haze of it. My partner and I just got married and we’ve got an old, fixer-upper property that we plan to make into our own haven of weirdness haha I’m excited to keep building this wild life together.

Sure, appreciate the genuine curiosity! For example, when I started at my current position, there was no standard system in place for operating and tracking project reviews. With the majority of the engineers being third party, it was an organizational and logistical nightmare. It’s taken patience because change sometimes needs to be implemented gently, but I’ve introduced new software and SOPs which decreased turnaround time for clients while increasing quality of life for my team. Everything flows and is properly tracked and fully transparent. I guess I enjoy making things easier for folks, life’s hard enough.

I’m a good reader. I’m good at systems, I can take a group of disjointed processes and make them cohesive. I’m good at holding space for other people, I’m genuinely interested to hear how they view themselves and the world. Also, I think I’m pretty good at being funny, it’s a self-defense mechanism honed over years of masking adhd and anxiety lol

Demise details unclear, but I’m excited to find out! May require a safe word lol

A suspicion of cats lol

Had the flu all week. I’ve been napping and watching quiz shows, taking advantage of being able to hibernate away from the world for a bit.
