Don't even get me started on gendered onesies. I was enraged about this through most of my pregnancy, and I went off on the Disney Store recently when they marketed their Endgame kids pjs as for boys. I've given into the short shorts, but I buy most of ltc's clothes and online. So she has no clue if they come from the boys or girls department. I can't imagine having to shop for clothes with her.
I can beat up demons until the cows come home, and then I can beat up the cows.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I have had an informal diagnosis of ADHD (inattentive) for many years. It was actually a relief, as was the more recent one of ASD (and apparently, dyslexia!). It means there's an organic *reason* for behavior that got me labeled "doesn't live up to potential" "distracted and clumsy" and "gifted but lazy" all my life. Having those letters meant I wasn't willfully stupid--and that was a relief. Behaviors I'd been trying to either mimic or correct all my life and feeling inadequate about had an explanation that had nothing to do with deliberate shortcomings. It was a tremendous relief.
As were the realizations that I'm not weird and "wrong," I'm ace and bi. All those are valid ways to be, and I'm not alone in any of them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm glad to hear you feel that way, Beverly! That all sounds right to me.
And I apologize for stirring up all of the baby and kids' clothing rage for people who have to do this all the fucking time, from my very occasional attempt to buy baby clothes!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am going to bed in clean pajamas!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I know how I felt when I found out about Sensory Processing Disorder, which explained so much about my being bothered by stuff -- for instance, the carbonation in soda, which will never stop being nasty to me. But at least I knew it wasn't just me being silly.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay, luggage!
Boo, pneumonia.

Tasting the cholorophyll in food is a thing for other people, and it's not just me going "It doesn't taste like anything, it just tastes green!"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm in Pittsburgh! I've done so much walking this week. Pittsburgh is so very beautiful and sad. There are just so many houses that are abandoned, condemned, or even collapsing.
The food is just so German. So very, very German.

How do you say that??
