probably around 5 or so. that’s the usual for me.

background NOISE

i actually really like DrPhil in the background. i almost never watch his show, but i always record it and then i turn it on when i’m doing chores. the rhythm of the show keeps me going. and also keeps me aware of how much time has passed while i’m working.

background music if i have to pick one of the title options, but background noise if i had my way.

i’m not sure. i would have to say kinjo, i guess. because it’s the one i crave the most.

i don’t really have a favourite restaurant anymore. they’ve all been closed. and the one i really liked, turned out to be run by discriminatory assholes.

i like kinjo a lot. modern steak too.

i’m jenn t

oh gosh, lots of things.

hunter.

work.

worrying about the state of the world.

catching up on daily chores.

watching my children sleep sweetly.

thinking of all the things i did wrong, or didn’t do at all.

memories of times passed.

hopes for the future.

lots of things.

well … neither.

i get seasick. and i am afraid of heights.

if i HAVE to travel, i prefer to go by bus or train. car, if i must. i really hate flying. and i could never go on a cruise. i am so claustrophobic that … well … i couldn’t be stuck on a boat. the last time i was on one, i barfed my guts out for like 10 hours.

i don’t really like to travel anyway. i know there are lots of places to see and things to experience. but i like my home space. i like my area. i like my world … small.

move to a large plot of land and start a tiny house village to have a place for my children to live a safe, loved, existence. kinda like TheVillage (m.night) without the scary fairytale to keep the people in.

the only fairytale needed is the reality of how the world is falling apart. and there should be somewhere safe for them to exist forever.

i worry, especially, for my son. i worry for him because, to look at him, in the current way the world judges and types people … he seems pretty cis white male … and yet, he hasn’t got privilege. in fact, he had to work for four year, 24/7/365 to just … gain words that so many others seem to naturally come into. he had to work for them. we had to. together. what a privilege. the neural connections that others are just naturally born forming … they are work for him. what a privilege.

he has white skin and a penis … he MUST be WAY ahead of the game, the world says. but the truth is … he is behind everyone else. when it comes to everything. words, skills, understanding, opportunities. he is literally behind everyone else. he is the first excluded from education. he is the first excluded from social opportunities. he is the first excluded from community functions.

and the world screams, because of his skin colour and his genitals, that is is privileged.

if money weren’t an object, i would build him a safe space, because he needs it.

until then … i will be it.
