I framed the law of attraction to kiddo this morning as a magic spell & it super helped her anxiety. Yesterday she had a very bad day. This morning she was worried she would have another bad day. I started asking her the things she was looking forward to & she got grumpy (con’t) So I told her it was actually a magic spell and she had to say “I am looking forward to ____.” For three different real things to start her day and it would help bring good things to her (truthfully it is helping her LOOK for things to be good. We notice what we try to notice)

The first Disney princess film ever featured a passed out girl who maybe was dead being kissed without consent while unconscious by a dude she’d never met, but okay He’s just a few years older than I am… so the little mermaid… where a teen girl violently changes her body and gives up her voice to marry a man who kills and eats her family and friends as sport was a film he and his wife watched. & heterosexuality is very much a sexuality

I have another overly-packed-with-deadlines day so I am going to be doing more little 25 mins of no interrupted work all day. If you'd like to do this with me, make a list of what you want to accomplish (housework, work outs, writing, reasearch, etc) & get ready to start at 9amPT In the meantime, let's make some fresh coffee, yeah? Maybe toss in a load of laundry.

Acknowledging that while I feel extremely behind on everything right now, after a few hours of plowing through on one deadline I will feel better. This week is much too busy, but I will get it all done. Mommy's Law: If you have a child who spends several days home sick, and in-laws coming into town, every project you were awaiting notes/green lights on will come due at the same time and so will your child's school and extra curricular volunteer duties. Also all press interviews

It’s #InternationalWomensDay so I am going to tell my pay gap story and it is so wild you may have a hard time believing it. It involves money and SPERM and It’s 100% True,no embellishments. & not the worst thing that happened to me at that job, which is the wild part. (Con’t) so I had this comedy writing job, it was fun and very down and dirty. The first original content for a big streaming platform. I was, for quite some time, the only female on the writing staff. It changed later. Because it was run & gun I also ended up running teleprompter (Con’t)

I’m thinking about the current “don’t say gay” bills and so many other things, it is starting to feel strange to me that we don’t seem to have any conversations/discussions about the CHILDREN OF LGBTQ parents. Not necessarily LGBTQ children.. but our children. (Con’t) Children of LGBTQ parents are in some ways the most vulnerable of all of us.They may grow up to be straight & cis, but there is no closet for them. Not ever. No decision they get to make about who to tell & when & how. My kid has been”out”as a kid of 2 moms her whole life (con’t)

OMG where can we buy an outdoor playhouse in person? It is the only thing our daughter wants for Xmas and I ordered it from @Target but now Target's shipment company EFW has LOST a 200lb package and it's sold out. I don't want to order another. Do any stores have them physically? also it was sooo much money I have to get refunded if it truly is lost and this is a mess.

Okay does anyone have a connection at @facebookapp who can help me? I have been classified as a “dangerous individual” because I told a mom friend I would “kidnap” her to go on a writing retreat to me. So not an actual threat, a loving comment to a busy mom friend. (Con’t) From this comment I’ve been banned for 24 hours, then restricted from lives and ads for 30 days, and today from participating in any groups for a week. All for a loving comment to my friend. I didn’t threaten anyone. I didn’t even curse. I cannot contest it for some reason (con’t

There is a flag in the neighborhood “Trump 2020 make liberals cry again” and I think about it a lot. What kind of political stance is that? “My politics are that I hate a certain kind of person and want to piss them off thus I vote this way.” And yet I see it a LOT. I am sad to see so many Americans... any Americans... any humans. Deciding the fate of the nation not based on good things, Not based on standing for something, but just “Ha ha WE win”

It’s #ComingOutDay2020 and I will share my own coming out story. It wasn’t pleasant. I am sharing it in case you are in a position where coming out is scary or painful, you aren’t alone. (1/19) I figured out that I was attracted to other girls when I was in high school and slept with a couple during that time. Shout out to beautiful early aught goth babes. Thank you for your services. 😉 (2/19)

Good morning. Take care of yourself today. Also gentle reminder: I am here because I genuinely care. I want the world to be a better place and I hope I can make your life brighter sometimes. I’d appreciate if you could also remember I am a full, human person. (Con’t) I shouldn’t be surprised that people who engage in purity politics would eventually find flaws in me and decide I am not worthy ... spoiler: we’re all flawed. That’s why I think expectations of perfection in order to “earn” someone’s vote is truly ridiculous. (Con’t)
