Those that have more than one house do not seem to stand up for those who do not have even one.
Instead, they eat the cream from others’ labor right off the top – leaving what little remains in a state of rot.

Against The Odds
You know those video games where you leap from and onto shifting platforms trying to go forward and upward while things are being thrown at you to bonk you off and crash you down by gravity?
Yep.
That’s my life.
Leaping against and despite adversity.
(Venus – Bananarama)
Altered Ambulation
I no longer lift from quads when walking, but extend from the back of my legs as I slide-push forward, extending from glutes and lower hamstrings.
Pope John Paul II
An amazing, rippling, luster-petaled white rose with incredible smell that now once I read its name feels weird to inhale!
“A Dime, A Dozen”
Just go pick your younger version.
I’ve got better things to do than pine for past seasons.
(Relate – For King & Country)
“Production For Use”
No matter what our desperations, we must overcome our baser reactions as humanity.
We must use our production wisely.
(Title phrase from movie His Girl Friday with Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, and Ralph Bellamy.)
(Cough Syrup – Young The Giant)
Negative Reinforcement
At some point, traumatic response becomes the mainstay when circumstances keep conspiring.
Shaking Hands
This is likely going to get worse before it gets better.
I can feel circumstances converging, with us caught in the middle.
The landlord’s child is looking for housing for school locally – and we all know what that could mean when renting the landlord’s one local property.
It happened to us last time, our prior landlord wanting to rent to students, making us homeless.
F*ck brain trauma and all of this destabilizing.
Cutting Hair
It wasn’t about self disgust or anything like that.
It was a pushing back against societal messaging of who and what she “should” be.
It was about reclamation of her identity’s space, and the right to liberate her spirit from the chains of conformity.
Dear Alex,
In a dream.
Some conversation of premise, allowing assessment of scent while drawing close.
A brief embrace, fingers touching chin, inhaling as answer undefined question.
“Yes.”
Tendons
The great reveal.
The Moving Game
May we please have stable housing?
(Jungle – X Ambassadors ft. Jamie N Commons)

“Adalet’s Purview”
Word Of The Day: Irascible
Back Door
What seemed secure because it was “known” backfired, causing more unnecessary damage.

Celebrated
Happening across a like-minded cohort.
Hidden From View
The pain of fresh betrayal.
Where Eagles Fly
Above my lair I heard their call as two pair vied for territory and bonding.
(Savage Daughter – Sarah Hester Ross)
From my beloved eldest.
Mother’s Day
My children are wild weeds
Brought up to seed dreams
Strong spirited like the oak
Crafting wisdom as the owl
Adapting flow within winds
Ocean tide ebbs and swells.
(Everybody’s Talkin’ – Harry Nillson)
“It’s A-Live”
A purple iris root mass finally sprouting!
“First Ladybug”
First garden sighting!
When Germans Do Techno
Many Tribes
It is hard to find where one belongs when descended from many.
Accountability
It must be enough to maintain my own, rather than being required to account for others’ lack of responsibility.
Advantage
Instead of freaking out, she let the energy carry her.
Enough, Already!
I do not want to be injured, anymore.
Response To A Company
“Dear Customer Service,
Your denying the reality of my dissatisfied experience with your sub-par product reinforces that I shall never recommend, nor ever buy from, your company again.”
Discouraged
I feel, very much.
Advice
It was suggested that I not say I am injured.
WT-?
(Run Away To Mars – Talk)
Fighting Ground
When insurance pulled its 3rd party exam sham to abruptly cut of my financial support, I knew any time for retraining was pushed to ending.
So I jumped into more classes than I should have due to my injuries in order to gather as many marketable skills to put under my belt as I could.
Being an optimist, even though I began flailing under the increased performance intensity of networking to keep our housing and increasing to four days of classes and travel, I hoped this could rebuild my functional capacities.
But “lo and behold” my “crashing and burning!”
Injury symptoms have drastically worsened and I have to drop classes to respond to my body’s warnings.
The hope in all of this is that since I fought and created room for the extra classes against external pressures, if I can hold this space I might still finish my certificate.
Compliment
The dentist was very kind to say that my teeth are the perfect opacity.
Maneuvering
I have learned to even outwit myself.
(Sister Moonshine – Supertramp)
Opting Out
Perhaps the best thing that I can do right now is just say, “No.”
