I am exhausted but also happy and this is what that looks like. Our #bellydance circle has performed twice during today's renaissance festival in town. Tomorrow is the second and final day of the festival and we perform twice again.
Stress can manifest as sobbing. And this morning before work, it did.

If you have to find out your kid is trans or non-binary, it's not the schools fault. The fact they felt more comfortable telling someone other than YOU makes it a YOU problem. Go look in a mirror for a while.

another fake BBC-Bellingcat video is doing the rounds, yet again shared by the sheyhtamir1974 Telegram channel
a new entry in the increasingly long list of fake videos using the BBC and Bellingcat in order to spread pro-Kremlin disinformation about Ukraine.
According to "the" sources russian syntax.
They are spread around various social media sites and actually look genuine if you didn't know about the telegram channel

Watching recaps of TFG on trial, I have come to a very troubling position that I am turning into #CoSoConfessions : he needs to die. Mind you, when he had Covid, I realized I cannot wish death upon even turds. Now, however, it is my political scientist analytical brain that is telling me he needs to perish. Nobody w enough evil charisma could fill the gap he'd leave and we could be okay.
I covered art classes today and took a coloring page for myself from a pile that students could choose from after they finished their assignment.
My first sushi dinner since finishing treatment and one of the rolls is called Spicy Girl and has shapes resembling hearts. How appropriate.
Since it is Monday, and that is a special kind of hell for a lot of us, here is #Milo on the laptop. Literally.

My knees: Lady we are tired of your stupid shit!
Me: <pops Tylenol>
And we are off to a week of two or even three hair-on-fire rehearsals and then Saturday and Sunday it is the Ren Faire, where we perform twice each day. I also have a FT work schedule this week, a PT appt, an allergy shot appt, and a video appt w my therapist. ETA for my stamina to return after radiation was July-August the earliest. I am the star of this shitshow.

Hopefully Jimmy Carter lives long enough to vote for Joe Biden one last time.
I am not a Mom, unless you count dogs, cats, and some few students as my children. My relationship with my Mom is complicated and dysfunctional. Uterine cancer took all my reproductive organs late last year and is a silent threat for the rest of my life. And yet, all I feel this morning is peace. I am okay. And that is likely one of the biggest victories I can ever experience. Have a peaceful and happy Mothers' Day, everyone, however the day hits you.

Some holidays expose hurts in a particularly poignant way, and Mother’s Day is one of them.
It’s a day of gratitude and also grief—for the mothers we’ve lost or maybe never had, or from whom estrangement prevails
for the moms grieving children who have passed or succumbed to the world in ways that hurt the heart
for moms who have been marginalized
for those who yearned for motherhood and ache around that wish
Send out extra love to folks feeling any sting today. Have care, be kind 💜
I didn't get to do everything I wanted to get ready for the 80s dance party - but you know what? I didn't get to do everything I wanted in the 80s either 😜
Happy #Caturday ! Today I bring you pictures of #Milo and @junation .
