happy disability pride month to people with vision impairments. nystagmus, strabismus, lazy eyes, low vision, etc! eye problems are so normalized to the point where able bodied people refuse to see people with vision impairments.

i cannot read even the largest letters without glasses. i can’t legally drive! i needed progressives at 17! i can’t open my bad eye outside at all anymore! i’m mad! i’m done with being ignored!

Going back in time to when they crucified Jesus. Not to save him (I’m pro choice) but to climb up there and feed him Ibuprofen and mini m&ms from my slightly cupped palm. like one might feed sugar cubes to a horse.

ya'll.

my life is so messy. not Messy messy, but unconventional messy. "Where have you been, sweet Rachel?" I hear you asking, as you wring your hands with tender worry over my long absence.

Well, I'm here to tell you! 🫵

I have split from my partner and baby daddy in order to be with my long-beloved and finally-single/newly divorced best friend, with the caveat that my ex can still live with us and we'll co-parent our medically fragile child together under one roof. Woohoo, a village!

The funny thing is, my ex and I are completely cool as we both come from households that emphasized cooperative co-parenting, so now boundaries are just ironed out better.

And my new man?

I am in heaven. I've never meshed so well with anyone in. my. life. I know dating fresh off the heels of a divorce is risky, but he's got his pieces pulled back together, and we've known each other for twenty years, and everything has just flowed together so seemlessly and naturally, and I'm just over the moon.

He also got me hooked on Re:Zero with him.

So there's the long-awaited update my legions of adoring Tumblr fans have been waiting for, just lil ol me living my most beautiful, messy, blended-family life lol.

His ex-wife blocked me on Facebook, which is funny because we never interacted except that I know she creeped on my page, which I left public on purpose. Her own page was locked down so severely I may as well have been blocked, but whatever helps her feel better lol.
