lunabee341. Once AO3 comes back up, go read the amazing story corvidology wrote me for Christmas:
Never Get Drunk with a Baltian Trader
Star Trek AOS
Kirk & Bones & Spock gen
Hijinks and shenanigans
2. Turns out I'm more fucked up about my parents yelling us at us that we're all going to hell and that's my fault specifically for damning my children than I thought. When I first got back from Christmas, I was just so relieved to be here, and I felt very even-keeled. Now I wonder if I just felt numb for awhile because I am currently struggling with figuring out how I'm going to interact with them in the future and going over all the old existential questions their upbringing gave me and reading a truly unhealthy amount of Stranger Things fanfic in a way that is indicative I'm trying to bury/ignore my feelings. :(
3. Today I participated in the first day of a Symposium about Death and Dying with the junior and senior Respiratory Therapy cohort. Later in the semester I'll lead a writing workshop with these students that I've designed in collaboration with the RT faculty. It's an incredibly cool and necessary project because coping with death is almost always left out of the curriculum in other programs (discussing it isn't even an accreditation criterion OMG!), but it is so so heavy. I am sad and overwhelmed at listening to my colleagues talk about their experiences with losing patients over the course of their careers, so impressed with their courage, and grateful that we have people who are willing to do their jobs.

Date: 2025-01-14 11:23 pm (UTC)I'm sorry your parents are so toxic and have you tied up in knots. Would it help to give them an ultimatum? Either say something nice or say nothing at all or we're going to have no contact for six months? In the meantime, read away. I once was depressed and read all thirty Xanth novels that were out at the time at once. By the end, I was sick of puns. LOL!
Wow, that symposium does sound important but depressing all at once. You're a good person for putting yourself through that!
HI! Nice to see you! LOL!

I have some time before I have to be physically in their presence again (this summer). I think probably just going back to keeping my mouth shut while making sure Fiona knows (Dylan already knows) that specific things they say are crazy.
