…Please stop sending me asks to reblog your campaigns.

…September and March are hard months. Harder than normal. Today I had a sensory related flashback to my great-grandmother’s passing. I didn’t get a chance to process it.

…I am homeless. Stuck in a shelter who likes to abuse their power towards their residents.

I know I’ve bothered everyone enough. This is a bad bout of depressive symptoms as I am still functioning while chronically ill. My abuser’s birthday is tomorrow.

……please leave me alone.

Dear Gus & Magnus,

Mom's working today and tomorrow, so after Gus's soccer game, the Choate Boys headed for the Compound. You both explored the woods with Nene while I explored the depths of Nene's refrigerator. It was extremely satisfying to clean that out.

Afterward, we went down to Nana's house and met Sarah's new baby, Kylan Jace. Nothing makes me realize how big you two have gotten like seeing a newborn.

Dad.

I didn't just get to meet mine. I lived down the road from one and not a very far drive from the other. My sisters and I would bike to the one's house on the regular to pick daffodils in her yard and have treats that she would save for my siblings, my mom's siblings (some of whom were close enough in age to functionally be my siblings), our other cousins, etc. She sewed aprons and let us help her gather eggs from her chickens and warned us to be careful around the cow fields because of the (mild) electric fence designed to keep the bull from trying to wander. The other great-grandmother crocheted afghans that she gifted us and kept a bowl of ribbon candy for when we'd visit.

My great-grandmothers passed away when I was in my twenties. they got to meet two of my children (as in their great-great grandchildren) as well as one of my nieces. We've got a five-generation photo with each of them.

For the purposes of this poll please just stick to birth names! I'd like to do another poll for names people chose themselves later in life.

my mother taught me to crochet when i was young. she was left handed, so she taught me how in the bathroom mirror so her hands would be in the right position.

she learned to crochet from her grandmother, who was right handed. her grandma was the one that originally used the bathroom mirror to teach her granddaughter properly.

i find something poetic about that. here in this bathroom mirror, through generations, we adapt to our young who have a different way of learning and interacting with the world
