  1. THE NURSING HOME CONFESSIONAL

    Day-to-day nursing home reality is alien territory for most folks. The early days “on the inside” are a particularly disjointed time.

    The new “resident” has just come through a medical crisis that spit them out into this strange new land. The psychological vertigo is very real, inviting deep reflection.

    Maybe that’s why there can be the phenomenon of a “confessional”

  6. 📰 New Foundations: Mining Personal Experience for Authentic Fiction

    Three approaches to "write what you know" when you aren't writing memoir.

    ✨ Writing from fear vs. just experience
    ✨ 3-layer research model (Technical/Emotional/Systemic)
    ✨ Avoiding the "savior narrative" trap
    ✨ Vulnerability Mapping exercise

  9. CW: Death of fedi friend

    Sad to report that @KarenStrickholm has died. It was 2 months ago, but I just found out. I found her FB page and saw her relatives’ posts.

    Some of the hashtags she used. Maybe some of you knew her.

  19. 🏫🏫🏫 Navajo Boarding Schools, some notes.

    "When it was time to eat, all the kids (Navajo plus other tribes) had to form a single long line. Each child was identified not by their name, but by a number. Manny was number 59. When called, it meant she was to step forward to take her meal tray..."

  34. 🙈😭🙈 HIDING 🙈😭🙈

    I'm usually a major stoic when having a medically bad day. Why? In part, a Nordic upbringing. But there's more.

    Years, hiding out in the "Disability Closet." It's primal, this instinct to mask our weaknesses. Over 20+ years, I fine-honed masking, fearing loss of family, friends, business, independence. Who wants to hear about pain? Soul-crushing fatigue? Costly specialists? No one, not really.

    ❓️❓️❓️ #Spoonies, ever felt this way? ❓️❓️❓️

  49. 🍁🍁🍁Autumn has arrived in the nursing home courtyard.

    A bit dismal at eye level, what with the dead plants, garden detritus and all.

    But then there it is - A brilliant autumn yellow against a late afternoon New Mexico blue sky. Nippy winter biting at my ears. A hot coffee in my hand.
