It’s been quieter on the writing front lately. Sharing a few shorter posts of late from Instagram with you.

It’s been oh so quiet on the having big thoughts front lately. I’m so glad to hit these stretches of time and want them to last for awhile. Big thoughts always come back around, because it’s my nature, and maybe even more, the world is not even remotely a place that can just be left alone. It’s going to need colossal amounts of guidance from big thoughts for some unclear amount of time to come. What I get in touch with in these brief breaks, at least in this one, is imagining what it would be like to be in a world that doesn’t require so much guidance. If it was like a high-functioning family/team/group/collective where you get to just show up and have a really good time. (No duh, I know we all want this.) And what I’d like to show up with instead of all the big thoughts is whimsy, creativity. Not to diminish the impact of whimsy and creativity. But fuck if it ain’t lighter and more fun.

Favorite show of the month! We’re Here on HBO. Which inspired a little love letter. :)
Dear drag queens from We’re Here,
I see you sometimes bring het cis women allies on up stage with you. I know it’s because they’re doing Big Things Out in the World, but maybe having Big Love in my Heart could be enough? Because the Love is Big in my Heart and if it could be matched by eyelashes and maybe hair and probably some sleeves that are just as big, I would be one happy lady.
Love,
A Queer Loving Hermit Psychic who stays inside
P.S. Thank you for healing the whole entire world.

In appreciation of Gen Z daughters -
Thank you for keeping me edgy in my middle aged years by continuing to raise the bar and letting me look through your clothing donation bags so I can wear things I didn’t know to look for.
Thank you for being pretty much grown up and out and about so that I have chances to listen to cheesy pop anthems, loudly, without you judging me, like a lot.
Thank you for being so patient but also uncompromising about the outdated/inappropriate ways I sometimes say things.
Thank you for being here, for joining me, you fill my heart to bursting and keep me so close to what the point of coming was.
Gen Z and Gen X are a great fucking team, don’t you think?
Thank you for being so freaking magical, and so interesting, and so powerful, and so on fire, and so insightful, and so so kind to me.
(Fringe bag! And outfit!, courtesy of said donation bags.)

Oh, how I wish I had some inter-generational clothes sharing and fashion inspo in my house! You look 'fire'. Or is it 'clean'?
