A mom just trying to survive. I write stuff to live in the present moment and publish it real time.

Hi, I've enjoyed my stay here but that time is ending, since techies.social is shutting down. Thanks for the good times @eescobar (looks like you already moved).

I am packing up my bags now and moving over to [email protected].

Will do the migration thingy and hope to see you there!

I'll have to manually re-post my poems so as to not lose them. Please bear with me.

No Regrets

When one's satisfied
It's hard to look back
And wish to change anything

My trauma
The things that hurt
The things that numbed
Happened

But now we're here
Us three
Under the oaks
Nestled in snow

You let me be me
Sharing all I feel
No need to justify
The space I take

I'm wiser now
And we have our family
So no regrets
Just acceptance

"Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity."
- Simone Weil

Big revelation: cheese!
Many a bite size piece
Discovery of umami
You wiggle, "more please Mommy!"

@carnage4life honestly thrilled you're here. It's great, low anxiety. Lots of academia is here too.

You might be deeply asleep, but you are a ninja at making sure at least one finger is in contact with your momma's arm or hand or cheek at all times.

Home is where we are (including Papa).

Our little lion, Saint Zoe. Grateful for her friendship all these years. #caturday

With all of the horrible things happening in the world, it’s nice to find the wins. Especially in the area of our environment. A group called Coral Guardian is restoring coral reefs, and it’s quite magnificent.

These photos represent 7 years of work on the Indonesia’s Hatamin Island. In this they have increased the fish population by 5x with 53k corals restored.

More wins like this, please.

Internet evolution:
Usenet: find your people! there are a few dozen of them on rec.arts.funny!
Listservs: find your people! there are 100 of them on this obscure list devoted to Marxist cultural criticism!
Blogs: find your people! each time one of them visits your site, your counter will increment! look! it has reached four digits!
Social media: find your people! there are several million strangers who are calling you names!
Post-social media: find your people! there are several dozen of them!

When you're overtaken by affection,
you nuzzle my forehead
rather roughly.

We've come so far:
these days I don't worry that you'll
cease to exist.

Once the tiniest speck of hope,
making me finally pray after so long
that you'd still have a heartbeat.

Thank You.
