*Bruce and 9yo Dick playing chess*
Dick: Okay, I'm gonna take your pointy, sad-faced guy for my horsey guy.
Bruce: Stop, stop. *pointing to Bishop* What is this piece called?
Dick: I call him Dwight.

i’m cool i’m chill i’m fiiine it’s just thinking about inconsolable differences and boundless sands still feels like having my bones broken one by one and the only cure is to close my eyes and imagine ccrime passed the fuck out under a pile of mismatched blankets safe and sound in wilbur shitty apartment in the middle of the desert. i’m normal…..when they wake up they’re gonna get breakfast at the diner. wilbur drinks his coffee that’s more cream than coffee and feels soemthing like light when he watches tommy laugh and talk through a mouth full of blueberry pancakes and stained cheeks. and he has to wipe pancake off his glasses cause tommy isn’t tommy if he’s not talking with his mouth full and wilbur isn’t wilbur unless he’s pouring eight containers of creamer into his shitty black coffee and tommy and wilbur aren’t tommy and wilbur if they’re not together.

So Ao3 tells me it's been about 7 years since I first started writing Cigarette Smoke & Snark.
It does not seem like 7 years. Time flies.

killing urself over school to get straight a's is such a scam like i had straight high-90s for three years and still ended up having to repeat my final year so it was pointless. i could have been going out and having fun with my friends instead

looking back I have never gotten a job because I was qualified. I have gotten jobs and job offers because 1) an organization batch-hires everybody and just fires the ones that don't turn out or 2) the organization is desperate for someone to fill a hard-to-fill position that's been vacant for so long or needs someone at the last minute and I fell out of the sky and they didn't look too hard at my qualifications
Seriously if I had a dime for every time an interviewer asked me "so do you have your national/where have you worked/how long have you been doing this/do you have 911 experience/some other question easily answered with a quick glance at my application materials, I could buy everybody coffee. They do not care; I am just a warm body. And I do not care, because I desperately need work.
When I was 21 and just starting out this was fine; I had no experience and a crappy work history full of short stays and firings. Now I have a better looking resume; it's not perfect but there's some good stuff there. Someone should want me, right? I have experience, right?
But other people have more experience. Better experience. 10 years as a medic. 15 years of flight. 20 years in a trauma center. No matter what I do I'll never measure up.

I'm gonna fucking cry my mom just tested positive for covid even though we've all been masking while my dad's been testing positive, because he hasn't been masking and just coughing right into the air and he came into the kitchen and just started touching things and coughing onto stuff and I spent the last two hours scrubbing and washing and disinfecting everything
