I can’t comma down about this

Surely "time to mime" [arms awkwardly move like the hands of a clock]

I’m apothisexual aroace, celibate, and religious, yes, but why does that overlap automatically translate to being set apart? I still want to wear horror T-shirts and cuddle close friends of any gender.

Two VERY well-meaning old friends have told me, on separate occasions, that I’d thrive as a nun, and I feel a little disappointed bc while nuns do deserve so much more respect than they’re usually given as a whole, I feel like they couldn’t be more wrong.

Today is MAR 10, aka Mario day. It is also extremely close to the spring equinox.

This implies a cycle of Wario Day (fall equinox), Luigi Day (summer solstice), and Waluigi Day (winter solstice).

It's book day, so of course Ben dressed up!

Me too, kid.

THERE IS A TERMITE MAN AT OUR HOUSE Ell Huang (she/they)  recently graduated with an MA in Writing from Point Loma Nazarene University and has prematurely gotten old enough to read fairy tales again, but also might soon be due for...

Direct link to my latest published poem @wirewormmagazine.bsky.social! This was written in 2021, inspired by one of the kids I’d tutored online. Book being referenced is The Frog Princess by E.D. Baker (which went on to inspire The Princess and the Frog). ✨

But man, I started breaking down crying for all the little ones born into toxic households, with all the threatening and parentifying, forced to be testimony props, the reason toxic households won’t split. I’m not there anymore, but for the first time the thought drove me to tears, those poor kids.

Not every new parent is this way I know. It restored my faith in humanity when I reunited with a friend and saw how much her toddler feels so safe to call on both her mom and dad, how playful and adored as they splash in puddles, how her whole world is full of many caring adults, parents’ friends.

I was a kid raised in abuse. I know everyone has their own choice but it hurts my soul when I see the red flags I grew up with. So many kids are being made where I was, with sacrifices they didn’t ask for, with constant pressure to be proof of love and their parents’ purpose.

Amidst all the pressure to quickly get married and have kids and forgo rights, I started breaking down crying for the kids born to terrible abusive parents in this way. For whom all this yelling, revenge, submission, manipulation, scare tactics, hypocrisy and “you are my burden” is the whole world.

you know what, TRUE

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

A really good and moving documentary. Candy, like many people, suffered from anxiety. The pressure to be the man every time. Feeling like you'll only fit in if you're funny.

But bigger picture also I love how Frozen 2 is about being willing to deconstruct the history you were taught

a man and a woman are kissing with the words " if only there was someone out there who loved you " below them Alt: Hans of the Southern Isles saying, “Oh Anna. If only there was someone out there who loved you.”

Plus, we all know someone like this

a scene from the movie frozen with a quote about controlling what you can Alt: Olaf the snowman sitting amongst children playing and putting crystals over his head, as he gently says to them, “We’re calling this ‘controlling what you can when things feel out of control.’”

Watching Frozen 1 & 2 with friends at the surprisingly perfect time after all and finding it all the more relevant now

Thank you!!’ 😊
