I have near constant nausea.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

There is so much happening every day that you can't absorb it all.
I don't recommend this method, but having your spouse go through cancer treatment is an exceptionally effective way to take up all the space in your head for thinking about stuff. I read the news and it all bounces right off me at this point. And I'm honestly kind of glad, because I can recognize that if I had any free brain space to process this hellscape, I'd be on the floor hyperventilating into a paper bag.

Hipo birdies!
Today I left my travel companion and went to an elephant sanctuary and most of it was cool or whatever but the five month old baby elephant annoying the crap out of it’s mom, which was the very last few minutes of the trip, was absolutely the best and funniest part.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy birthday erika!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday, erika!
I went to this book reading last night. Tom Gauld! Mimi Pond! It was a nice respite.

I am really enjoying living vicariously through you, meara! How fun!

That's so cool! I follow Tom Gauld on Tumblr and saw he was doing a tour — glad you got to go!
