sev @sev@witches.town

I've moved to @sev at a.weirder.earth. Go find me there.

You are real. You are valid. You are valuable. The world is better because you are in it.

I believe in you. I'm proud of you.

Yes, you.

too tired to control the Monster That Lives On Top Of My Head anymore

(autocorrect says the Monster's name is Annie and would like to know if you want one?)

I think I might look as tired as I feel today. https://witches.town/media/L1hiXaYOxbr8BgbzRwM

I am so lucky.

*feeling smug*

lunchtime hug-break: highly recommended, would snuggle again

tomorrow's calendar has therapy, comic book store, and circus, and while these are all important to me none of them involve cuddles and I'm rather disappointed in myself for that.

I want more of the kind of intimate one-on-one connection that I associate with summer vacation afternoons. No responsibilities, no schedule, just endless hours of sunshine and whispers and smiles and love.

it's that time of year where my boots are getting taller but my skirts aren't getting much longer yet.

aka "the silver lining that makes this autumn thing at all acceptable" https://witches.town/media/gLohsmi62taIKsXKRCA

this has been a good week for me being seen & understood & appreciated. *happy glow*

but how am I supposed to get up when there are *two* kitties draped over me?

they never do this. Okay, this is the second time this year. Almost never.

and I'm cheerful that this is distracting me from the likelihood that I also need a new phone (sigh)

I have a new camera!

I have emptied my old camera bag and found: 15 rolls of unshot film, assorted batteries, a teaspoon of miscellaneous dirt, a ticket stub from burning man 2001, 2 tripod quick-release mounts, two filthy lenses (and one film camera).

Tonight I'm suddenly feeling fiercely possessive of my friends and lovers.

Stay well, dear ones. You are mine and I insist you nurture yourselves and each other and stay safe and treasured until I see you again.

(wherever does this urge come from, I wonder?)

I hate that "learning language" and "learning physical skills" work so differently for me than other things. I'm tired of being the old hand in circus still lagging behind newbies. I hate that I've been struggling to learn French for months & my partner & kid are picking things up w/little effort.

I get that "I hurt all the time" & "my hearing is unreliable" are reasonable explanations for my experiences. But it's frustrating that I'm spending so much time lately in modes I struggle with.

also I know where all that boobs comes from, but geez...

am having a "where did all this hair come from?" day. https://witches.town/media/bW773Ryg7hHMwEWCECY

She and I both have the introvert trait where interacting with people drains us, but we also both do poorly when left to our own devices for too long.

well, I have finally achieved "less grumpy and more sleepy" so I should take advantage of that. Goodnight, mastofriends!

I've been thinking, on and off, about unfollowing folks who don't follow me back, over here. I post enough personal stuff that I'm finding I want what-I-read to be a better match with who-I'm-talking-to.

Also, kind of related, I want to get more thoughtful about when I use "unlisted" vs. "followers-only."
