When storms roll through, my joints protest at the injustice of me not receiving a senior discount at Wendy's. My knees refuse to listen when I tell them that we're not even 30.

Pølsegryte Vol.1
En enkel pølsegryte laget på under 30 minutter er som en reddende engel på travle dager. Denne pølsegryta går ned på høykant hos både store og små. Favoritten her er å servere den sammen med penne eller fusili pasta, men passer fint også med en enkel salat, ris eller brød.

8 wienerpølser
1 boks hakkede tomater
1 ss tomatpure

I feel represented by Jon Sims as a tired five-foot-nothing autistic bastard man with significantly graying hair at 28.
Also as a biromantic ace, but that's secondary.

Authentically Yourself
For me this year has been about manifesting. I’ve manifested my goals and dreams and I feel like things are finally starting to play out for me. I am very proud of my current and future achievements. I have tried to follow the motto of “When you step into a space, step into it authentically and wholeheartedly yourself”. I feel like sometimes in my area of expertise (the tech space) black people are told to look a certain way, act a certain way, speak a certain way. As the world evolves, we as black people in these white dominated spaces need to evolve as well. I refuse to hide myself everyday for people that barely know me. Remember that any space you step into, you step into it authentically and wholeheartedly yourself because who should be policing how amazing you are!

30 January 2024
Journalist Hossam Shabat reports a gruesome discovery this evening. He writes,
A major crime has been uncovered in northern Gaza. The bodies of citizens were discovered handcuffed with cloth over their eyes, and they had been executed. We found them under a mountain of rubble and garbage.
Resistance News Network on Telegram provides additional details:
🚨 30 bodies left in plastic body bags were discovered in the Khalifa bin Zayed school in Beit Lahia in the northern #Gaza Strip following IOF withdrawal.
All 30 people were executed by the IOF, with their hands tied behind their backs, eyes covered with cloth, and their bodies concealed in zip-up bags buried under the sand by the zionist occupation forces.

I can't stop thinking about just how emblematic everything in those conversations of Ashton being "a child" are of how, even at her most beaten down, triggered and traumatized, Laudna is not and will not be what Delilah wants her to be.
For Delilah, "they're still a child" is dismissive, a bit derisive, but doesn't even merit being truly hateful. She doesn't find Ashton worth the attention Laudna is giving them, not when there are such more interesting, important things to pull the attention of an adult. Children are only important when they are useful. She will indulge Laudna on the subject, because Laudna is useful, is her vehicle for action in the world, but she only cares about it in the context of getting Laudna to do what she wants. Calling someone a child is calling them unimportant. (Laudna is a child to her)
But for Laudna, who loves children and who understands intimately what it's like to have the helplessness of child, to be trapped under the authority of someone who will never treat you as a full person, even when they are being ostensibly kind, to be so confused and lost and powerless...a child deserves attention more than anyone else. Of course children lash out. Being a child IS in many ways quite awful because the world is so big around you and you don't know yet how to react to any of it, how to soothe yourself - and if you aren't given the attention, you never learn how. Ashton never learned how. Her instincts - instincts trained into her by manipulation and abuse from inside and the world around her - may say kill him, but she fights them the whole way because her heart is stronger and her heart says that the angriest, most volatile child needs care as much as any other. More, even.
Laudna hears Delilah call Ashton a child and agrees on the word, but they have diametrically opposed understandings of what that means, and diametrically opposed instincts on how to treat a child. Laudna doesn't want to hurt anyone, especially children. She loves children. She loves so much and so selflessly. And Delilah is so very very good at manipulating her but she has tried for 30 years to change the bedrock of Laudna's psyche, the truer thing that drives her beyond the base animal instincts of survival, and it hasn't worked.
