- Bad morning made better by the weather
- Stuffed peppers, coffee, electric fans
- Relative’s place for bbq and chill time
- Watching the kids derp around the blow-up pool
- YOUNG JUSTICE AHHHH
- My 5 year old cousin bit my cheek (what)
- Bubble tea and wading on the beach at dusk
- Fire pit, wind, lawn chairs, talking business with the adults
- …First surprise birthday cake ever, and singing; even the kids were in on it
Best cry/ugly cry/ninja cry
Cousin blows out my candle
The “20” on the cake makes it feel official - Talk with Kim on the way home; catharsis
- Remember that people can be good, and that no matter how difficult a situation is, you can always think of something to smile about and be thankful for.
Thank you, everyone, for all your birthday wishes and gestures.
It was a pretty great birthday, and I have the people in my life to thank for that. I can’t really say anything else right now ‘cause I’m pretty full up on sushi and coffee (thanks Nikk), but I can very honestly, and sincerely say: thank you.

There’s a huge ass bug in my room, oh god.

That Weird Asian Girl.: Asians are people of color, and we too have struggles.

Have I ever had “ANY unwanted/undesired physical or sexual contact”?

After the usual “Emotional abuse,” “Physical abuse,” “Sexual abuse,” I got to this very interesting item: ”ANY unwanted/undesired physical or sexual contact.”
read the link. so spot on.
[trigger warning LIKE WHOA at the link for rape culture, coercion, and general unwanted attention]
Because I can hardly stand the thought of these constant erosions of personhood seeming normal to our daughters and sons.
READ THIS
This was deeply unsettling to read. Because yes, every single thing that she touched on has happened to me, and yes, I consider myself to be one of the “lucky” ones. Ugh. I have had disrespectful doctors, forceful boyfriends, really creepy “friends.”
This should not be the way things are.
Please click the link and read this. It’s not long I promise, but it is so, so good.
I ask all of you to please click the link and read it. Like Nikk says, it isn’t long, but it’s so very good.
