1. I took The Inheritance quiz and came up healer. That was a small surprise even if I didn’t go into it with any thought whatsoever.
But “ouchies never stop” is very accurate for my own life.

Helping folks: Looks like Paypal is stealing Friday Afternoon Tea’s operating capital and they need help. They’re an indie LGBT-welcoming third place for their community.
If you’re able to pitch a few dollars their way, I’m sure they would appreciate it. We love their teas, too!

Well it has been a hell of a week, after a hell of a week, after a hell of a week. Hard to believe we’ve personally gone through a full ICE detainment fight in less than a month and are now seeing LA, New York, Chicago and more explode with the full tilt fascist authoritarian power grabs.
Please do what you can to fight back: give, make calls, protest, help your community.
I’m not sure I have a great deal left in me this week to be positive or giving, I’m in a period of recovery on many fronts, but I’ll catch my breath and get back into it again.

1. We spent a ton of time with the kids this week and mostly it was good. To my surprise. There was a lot less fighting than I had expected. I very much needed this break from professional responsibilities and to have time with them that wasn’t our day to day frustrations.
Helping folks: if you wanted to help my friend’s family during this trying time, you’re welcome to send money that I will place in their hands personally. I can’t set up a GFM, I just don’t have the bandwidth for that.

1. I cut my hair in under 15 minutes. 🎉 Of course the 3-4 inch chop was undetectable and SmolAc told me that it was my turn to get a haircut after theirs.

Helping folks: Lily Meade could really use some help. Her situation is so hard. I hate that healthcare in this country is so tied to income and employment.

Good Things Friday (324) and Link Love
1. This was the first Mother’s Day that didn’t feel fraught and difficult and painful. I had a chat with a bestie who has also lost her mother to start my day, pancakes with the family, a trip to run an errand and then a donut seeking adventure. I rested a while, then cooked for 4 hours – a recipe I’d been planning for a while. It was pretty satisfying. I didn’t get my dog time though, I had vaguely hoped to run into some neighbor dogs.
2. I managed to hill my potatoes! Woo!
Challenges this week: What a week. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt quite so unequal to my job as I have this year in this job. It’s much bigger than any 3 jobs before it, and it’s not like I had small jobs before this. On top of which, it’s been transition after transition after transition for almost two years now. We all know how much I embrace change, especially change I didn’t initiate (none).
