Unbuff

Lately I’ve had a hard time writing anything other than awful, angsty poetry (don’t ask). It’s like going through high school all over again, except now with kids and debt.

It’s also really eating into the buffer I built up from taking nine days to post a 1,200- word short story I’d already written. I wonder if there’s anything else salvageable on my DeviantArt account…

Take Care of Yourself

Because you are precious, and should be taken care of.

Angelneer

(me, complimenting my 7 year old on her Legos): You’re a great engineer.

(her): I’m not an engineer yet.

(a few seconds pass while it dawns on me that she is referring to her future career)

(me): Well, maybe not a professional engineer, but you’re very good at building things. I think I’m going to call you an engineer anyway.

(a few more seconds pass as she mulls this over)

(her): What about Angel?

(me): I’ll call you both.

(her, in obvious satisfaction): Okay.

She just comes up with these off the dome, you guys. No instructions!

Happy Pride Month!

It feels SO nice to have colorful nails again! It’s been way too long.

I wanted to do the polyamory flag colors, but I’d forgotten just how expensive this stuff is. Maybe I’ll have enough saved up by next year…

Talking Into the Abyss

The abyss’ gaze is unnerving, I admit

But it is a very good listener

Startup Idea?

Cyberstalking your high school sweetheart after they’ve deleted their Facebook account is a real pain in the ass. Can someone get on that, please?

Added 2025-08-01: I was careless when I first wrote this post and forgot that cyberstalking can be, y’know, actual abuse and that making a joke out of it was in very bad taste and could be a trigger. My own sister’s been a victim of cyberstalking, so I really don’t have an excuse. I apologize.
