  1. I only brought a single book — after all, we are only here three days — but I now have a day and a half left after finishing my book, and reading books-on-phone is deemed unfriendly by the family

  2. Stressful drive for Thanksgiving tonight. Saw two car accidents right in front of me. One involved an asshole in a gigantic pickup truck weaving in and out of traffic loose control fly over a guardrail and become stuck in trees just over a bridge and right before entering the water. The other was a 15 mph rear end accident in traffic caused but another large pickup truck in the trees of the center of the highway. When not in traffic it started raining. 2 hour drive turned to 3. What irks me about these accidents is that 1. It was before people on the roads are drunk(er than normal) and 2. People travel in groups and families more often than you normally see. That means dude* that flew into the trees at 80 mph could have hurt his family all to save a few minutes on a long drive. Hate to think about it. Had to have a beer when I arrived. No more driving tonight for me.

    *If it was a woman driver, she was driving with high levels of toxic masculinity, so there is a reason for my assumption of gender.

  4. Is there a holiday where we all just cry from stress?

    Because I need that one now.

  5. I have more time off for the holidays than I've ever had before.

    This has me acting like a time miser: I don't want to spend it, but I want to be productive. I should Market! Create! Schedule Social Media! Draft Content!

    But I need to Bake! Wrap Presents! Organize! Declutter!

    In the end, I'm probably going to hunker under a blanket and watch While You Were Sleeping. Because self-care *is* productive.

  6. Sympathy for Santa’s snitch: “It's not like your heart is in it anymore. Sure, the first few days you might make me a mini marshmallow bubble bath or spell out messages in cereal. But we both know by the second week in December you'll just toss me on the dirty laundry pile and tell the kids I'm mountain climbing. It's fudged up.”

  7. CW: Is this how you post sensitive info? Post asking how to set boundaries at holiday visit. Fundie parents. Trans kids. Not going not an option…

    Looking for advice for family holiday visit to my fundamentalist parents. 
How do you set good boundaries with your *very* not like-minded parents 
to protect your trans kids from their probing questions about appearance/presentation and dating life?

  9. Thinking tonight of everyone for whom the holidays might be difficult instead of joyous.

    My early memories of the holidays were happy ones, that became strained and conflicted after my grandparents were no longer there to make them joyful.

    I'm in a place of peace again, but even so, the pull of sadness can be strong at this time of year, for whatever reason.

    Be kind to yourself and those around you. It can be tough.
