I haven't talked to my conservative, anti LGBTQIA+, conspiracy theorist dad in about four months. I was not expecting to feel as if a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. There's much less frustration and words of hate in my life now. I am happy with my choice.

I am happy to meet you! I'm a vegan and a lay buddhist. I like to ride bikes, read books, and am learning hobby electronics. I am also learning how to better my relationship with food.
And to clarify, I am not saying he is a bad person. Just a very miserable one who refuses to seek help.
Had a dream last night that I got a tattoo. Thank goodness it was a dream. That tattoo was terrible.
Dishes clean, laundry washed, house vacuumed, showered. Out of the muck again.

My favorite #haiku from Santoka Taneda so far, as I read a book about him.

He told me that life gets real small when you start living it. He told me a lot of things over the couple of hours we talked, but that thing he said stuck out. Not really because it was a revelation, but because I didn't understand what he meant. I'd like to think that I'm beginning to understand what he meant.
He said he used to own a mechanic shop with his dad when he was younger. Owned a couple of nice cars and a good sized house. His dad died, and he spirals for a while. Ended up traveling quite a bit, stopped the spiraling over that time and didn't stop traveling.
Don't know how threading posts work here, so I'm just going to reply to my own posts.
I had an experience once while living homeless in a truck in my early twenties that sticks with me. I was sitting on a curb, eating a sandwich when a fellow homeless guy sat next to me and asked if I would buy him a beer. I said yes, and we got to talking.
I'm dehydrating excess SCOBYs to try to use as dog treats. I've never done this before. The house smells like apple vinegar.
