Actually, no.

I'm at a spoken word performance about mortality and I'm the youngest person here by a few decades.

I'm under 45, but I had one on my late 20s for diagnostic reasons. I heard the prep was going to be bad, but it was no worse than what my body was already putting me through at the time.

A middle aged woman has her hair pulled back and oversized tortoiseshell glasses with pink lenses to help with light sensitivity.

These FL-41 lenses are saving my life today. If you're on the fence, GET THEM.
I'm having light sensitivity but no other migraine symptoms (subject to change).

Khao poon is the holy trinity of foods: Curry. Noodle. Soup.

That noise you just heard was my knees cracking.

a man in a ll bean jacket is standing in the snow at night Alt: Meteorologist Jim Cantore jumps around excitedly in snow up to his mid-shin.

There will come a day when people don't know what it means when someone mentions that Jim Cantore was seen in the area.

Out of all the candies for all the holidays, Cadbury Mini Eggs are the best.

What has to be broken inside someone to compel them to comment with hateful speech on a post from Sesame Street?

I have had back issues since puberty.
I found my first grey hair at 18.
I have a knee that can predict the weather.

And yet, getting bifocals is what threw me into a bit of a tailspin about aging.

I am grateful that in spite of The Horrors, I can still appreciate the small acts of goodness.

This post is about a club sandwich with pepper relish.

I tend to do my car screaming while on the interstate.

Two good things happened today:
1. I went a week without a migraine, and
2. I am now a member of the local Pride Center board.

"How do you do, fellow women?"

I started watching @dimension20.bsky.social this season and it's been a delight. The setting is a post-apocalyptic wasteland and the characters are all weird and well-meaning.

Things can be bad, but people don't have to be.

Welcome to the American Winter In the frozen streets of Minneapolis, something profound is happening.

There are more of us than there are of them. Our sincere love for each other and our simple wish to live is stronger than their hate.

I got my levels checked last month and I still have immunity!

Luxury truck = bootlickers
Old truck = bootleggers

I'm from Appalachia and that is usually true here, too.
Fancy trucks = "Redneck means a guy from a country song."
Beaters = "Redneck means fuck the law if it ain't right."

PREACH

The Challenger explosion* is my Roman Empire.

This is why I have approximately one waffle a year and no pancakes ever.

All this edible did is make me tired. By 8 pm on a Friday night.

I can't believe this is the same body that used to drink shots and dance.

Transphobia is such a weird hill to die on. Someone else's gender doesn't affect yours AT ALL.

And happy philanthropy day to MacKenzie Scott!

Many things taste better than skinny feels, actually. Bread is awesome, and often quite nutritious.

I find that I'm so used to disconnecting from my reactions to sit with others that it can be hard to reconnect with them.
I still feel everything, though.

Tennessee has traffic school! I would know because I've been there twice.

Your body is doing what it can to keep you safe. Even when it's not how we want it to, it's still pretty neat to think about.
