How do you express your gratitude?
“Thank you, I appreciate this, you are too kind.”
Might seem a bit OTT, but in my earlier life, I never much kindness to be grateful for.

Apologies to anyone I’ve been rude to today. I try to keep family drama away from the Internet at their request (they, though, despite being told to by my mental team, refuse to keep my interaction with my father to a minimum) but weeks of having my asshole father here has been truly awful. All the signs of stress and severe anxiety are back – talking and whimpering in my sleep, shaking, dissociation, mild acts of self-harm like banging my head against the wall, etc.
I’ve tried to deal with it by taking up my old hobbies, which is the one good thing to come out of this. But it is still hard.
Thank you for reading.

I decided this worked as a mini-essay, so here it is. Also, to be absolutely clear, I am a proudly politically left feminist. Which is precisely why left leaning publications laying into a filmmaker who was one of my biggest inspirations is so upsetting and frustrating. There’s the assumption we’re all in agreement and that his fans are all “bros.” I’m tired of being insulted in these articles by essentially being erased and in personal online disagreements where men mansplain why I’m wrong (the irony escapes them) and women who act as though I’m liar because No True Feminist could honestly like Nolan’s work. As for whatever happened on Boardwalk Empire – I’ve heard so many contradicting stories that I truly don’t care what happened. I’m not pretending he didn’t do anything wrong, but he has stayed friends with the cast which suggest the problem was not what it was made out to be. Other than that belief, I wasn’t there so I have no idea. I’m leaving it there -
Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?
A sweater knitted by a friend of my mother’s especially for me. I was really into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and they had put my favourite turtle on the front (which was Raphael). It was just beautifully made, and there’s even a school photo of me wearing it, beaming happily. If you’ve read my blog, you’ll know my childhood wasn’t great, but that sweater was so precious. I cried when I grew out of it, and we handed it to another family member.
