"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I know two people who have bees! Is this like the turn two the rest is food thing? Anyway, yay, t, I am super excited for your bees!

I made it out of my day alive. AAA guy totally reached his hand in and did something and everything was fine. AND managed to explain it to me for next time.

The band meeting was not particularly fraught other than with concern that they appear to not actually have any real candidates other than one for the leader who gave notice, like, months ago. It's kinda gonna not matter to me because I was close to outie anyway, but definitely will be gone all summer during the probable hiring and breaking in period.

So. I am home. I am steaming potstickers and drinking chamomile tea, and I should be fine for my early morning tomorrow.

You can also use ginger

Oh! This is the whole thing that happened in Night Watch isn't it, that helped to turn the tides of revolution? Huh.

Also! I got all excited because Zoya is doing this Earth Day polish exchange and I thought it was like ours, but it turns out it costs $4 a bottle, minimum 6, anyway for shipping and the exchanged polish gets discarded, not reused. But still, people might be interested, and you could use the polish box for it!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Owen was crying tonight and told me he felt like a bird in a cage that was never going to be let out. Normal anxiety or depression? Ooof. I'm glad he can put his feelings into words so well but this freaks me out.

Whoah. What did he mean by that? Like, he wanted to stretch his wings more and do things but isn't allowed to yet by age/permissions/ability? Or?

Because books.

It sounds self-aware to me, Cash. Not a happy knowledge to have about yourself, though, and obviously going to cause sadness. I think if he were saying things like this daily, or his behavior had changed over the last few months, I would be more worried, but for now I think I would just encourage him to talk it out with you when he feels that way.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Not a parent, but what Amy said sounds reasonable.

Jesse! I submitted a video to the Good Stuff tumblr. My first submission, hope I did it right.

He just seemed anxious. We talked about it and then he said he worries about bad things--getting lost in the jungle, getting left behind, planes crashing, etc. He's amazingly self-aware but he's also learning faster than his emotions can keep up. I'll take some notes and discuss it with his pediatrician if it becomes a trend.

He's got the brain of a 10-11 year old in a 7 year old's body. I just want to smish him every day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, Owen, poor boo.

It's snowing. I'm not surprised, because that's spring in Utah, but dammit, it's nearly May. In a month it's going to be Too Damned Hot, and tonight we've got snow.

Be warned, people to the east.

Wisconsin is supposed to get some more snow on Wednesday. But we'll still be in sunny Florida! SUCK IT, WISCONSIN!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That can't be fun, especially when there's a chemical discrepancy. But I'm glad he can talk about it with you, Cashmere. That right there is a good sign.

Teppy, I did another shibari pic. Feel free to tell me to stop sharing my drawings with you.

Not only are there very few source pictures with bound men, there are very few pictures with more than just the bound person in them. But I'm only halfway through the internet at this juncture.
