Why did the Alzheimer’s organization show up as an app I used for nearly 8 hours while I was sleeping? Could this just be a persistent ad I accidentally clicked on running in the background all night?

Nearly 2 months after leaving birdsite, I remembered I have a LinkedIn. Former work colleagues on LI, pretty pictures on IG, secondhand stuff on FB marketplace, and watching newsy toots float by on Mastodon. That’s about the level I want at this point. I’ve become my mother, only with fewer iPads.

I’m baffled by the QT discussions. I was on birdsite for 14 years and do not miss that bit of functionality one bit.

When I started blogging in 2002, I found a world of kind strangers. It changed my life. I have wonderful friends, truly. Yet my family is still highly dysfunctional, and I feel like I can’t escape the…well, the meanness. I’ve pulled back, and they try to guilt me for my distance, sending me long passive-aggressive texts I mostly ignore. I rarely cry, but tonight I did. I feel like I can’t escape the anger and projections of unhappy people, and I’m so tired. Why is it so dispiriting when mentally unhealthy people blame and malign you to others? I fear I’m becoming cynical or bitter. It doesn’t help I had a brain injury in 2018 I’ve mostly recovered from (with much help from strangers and friends [not family]) but gosh it’s lonely lately. And I know there are others in the same boat. I just feel like family is so cruel and destructive but I guess that’s their business. How much am I supposed to give? (Rhetorical.) Anyway, I thought maybe it’s safe to overshare here because no one I know is here lol. And don’t we all just want to spill our guts to a stranger we’ll never see again? 😶

In the last week, I’ve assembled 10 #garden beds, planted allium, lupine, milkweed, and peonies, and divided over 1,000 #dahlia tubers.
