I now judge people on dating apps based on how open their eyes are.
Wide open - Insane Moderately open - Sus Relaxed open - Safe Half way open - Judging or Plotting murder Almost closed/squinting - Trying to comprehend your stupidity or just Asian Closed - Sleeping or Asian parent level of disappointed
Damn, didn’t even realize how bad my anxiety has gotten. Random girl starts talking to me and I immediately try to disengage from the conversation because I auto assume I’m being mislead or catfished.
When your mom knows she was abusive to you growing up, admits it late into your adulthood, and has been afraid of being hated by you for over a decade hits different. Unfortunately the damage is already done and trusting women is almost impossible for me but at the very least I can let her atone for what she did to me growing up. She’s done good, I’m proud of her.
Spent the morning housecleaning, now the only question is do I spend the afternoon finishing sewing my last spring/summer skirt (and cutting out my yellow dress) or writing? On the one hand–the skirt is all done except for finishing the waistband and it would be so satisfying to have it complete, and I really would love to get started on the yellow dress. On the other hand–I only have 10-15k left on this story draft and I would dearly love to get it finished this month, especially since I just found out yesterday my cover designer is available to do the cover for it this summer, which is amazingly good news as she is a teacher and a published author and I was pretty sure she wouldn’t be available for my covers anymore and nobody else has ever been able to grasp the idea of I want it to look like the cover of a Golden Age detective story, but with magic quite so well as she has.
Ah well. Suppose I’ll get dishes washed and laundry going and see how I feel when I’m finished with those.
(Drat, I just remembered I have no idea what I’m making for supper. Creative endeavors of all sorts may end up being put off for food prep. I hate housecleaning day, but I hate living in disorder and filth worse, so what can you do?)
TMNT 2012’s Wiki says that Splinter’s year of death was 2013, meaning that season 1 up until the end of season 4, and all that crazy shit the turtles went through during those 4 seasons, took place in the span of only 1 year.
In the S2 finale, April says this after it’s reveal Irma is a robot: “My best friend for the past year was a Kraang?!” And even though Irma was introduced in S2, it was confrimed in S1 that April has known Irma since before her introduction because we see Irma in April’s phone contacts in the ep Mousers Attack.
If that’s not enough Casey adds this later in the S2 finale: “This is worse than that giant Technodrome thing last year!”
Also let’s add that in the beginning of S3, after Leo wakes up from his coma, he finds out that they’ve been living at the farmhouse for around three months.
Not to mention the six month trip in space confirmed by Fugitoid at the beginning of S4 with also us learning that while in space and meeting their 80s counterparts and quickly heading back to Earth, we learn the present turtles are currently in the S2 ep Wormquake as it’s revealed by the end of the ep with the 80s turtle fighting the Kraang worm and later Tiger Claw who cuts himself out of the creature, which is how the previous S2 ep ended. So at the very least, from the S2 ep Wormquake up until the season 3 finale took place in span of less than six months.
Also in the S3 ep The Croaking Mikey tells Napoleon that him (and his brothers) are STILL 15 despite it being confirmed in canon that little over a year has passed since the turtles 15th birthday/mutation day!!
So with all this information confrimed by canon, it’s impossible for the show to only be in the span of one year. At the very least two years have gone by, maybe three, but not one.

Produce Like A Boss is an online course that teaches independent/freelance musicians (like me) how to turn their Home Studios into full fledged, profitable businesses.
They held a five-day online “bootcamp” last week, where they basically gave all of us who signed up some free tips and tricks… but they also gave out a bunch of prizes for simply attending/watching the live Zoom classes for all five days… and - amazingly - I won a free scholarship to take their (very high in demand) course!
To say i’m shocked, happy, and above all thankful, is an understatement.
Truth is I was trying to figure out how I could afford to take this course (priced at basically $1000 USD just for the basic package), in order for me to level up both Creatively and Business-wise.
And here goes the Universe, providing exactly what I needed at exactly the right time.
This is only the latest in a series of times recently, that The Universe has helped me manifest what I sorely needed (and sometimes didn’t even know I wanted in the first place smdh).
A few weeks back, I was invited to be interviewed on a local radio station about my 30-plus-year-long music career, and frankly we had so much to cover that they had to invite me back for a second week because the hour and a half in the first week only got us to halfway through my musical journey lol.
Videos of Part 1andPart 2 of my interview are still available to stream over on my FB if you’re interested.
I recorded another interview for a friend’s podcast that’s coming out soon as well… so stay tuned for that. ⏱
I also got booked to perform live at North Coast Jazz Festival (here in my home country, Trinidad & Tobago). This will be my first live performing gig in several years, since I had been focusing on songwriting up until the pandemic. But now i’m gonna be back onstage babyyyy!
Oh, and let’s not forget that I recently unveiled my new official logo (designed by my super-talented bestie @soulsistrin) as well!
And now I won this scholarship, which will help me level up my studio game!
So, given all of the above, this post is my little way of saying a heartfelt Thank You to this amazing Universe that i’m floating through space in on a spinning rock. Thanks for this, and all the other blessings and miracles you have gifted me with.
- Sex is fun, but not as important as movies/tv make it seem.
- Sex is fun, diseases are not. Use protection.
- Your virginity is not an on/off switch, you lose small bits and pieces of it as you try new things, there’s no need to rush into doing everything just to get rid of your virginity.
- Your virginity can be a cherished thing, or you can chose to ignore it, it’s really your call and no answer is “right.”
- Sex doesn’t need to be a solemn occasion. It’s a fun thing to do with someone you find awesome, feel free to treat it as such.
- It’s okay to not like a sexual act, even if it’s one “everyone does.” If you don’t like it, no one has the right to make you do it.
- Farting during sex is not as horrendous as you initially think, pretend you didn’t notice and your partner will likely do the same.
- You are GUARANTEED to make at least one stupid sound/face during your sex life, but the reality is no one cares if you got a little derpy while having fun.
- PORN IS NOT EDUCATIONAL! Porn is sex that looks good on film, not that goes well in the bedroom. Be exploratory, gentle and request feedback from your partner until you know how rough they personally like it. Do not start out on “jackhammer” mode.
With Pegasuses (Pegasi?), since horses can walk and run not long after birth, but birds don’t have feathers on their wings immediately, how would a mama and baby Pegasus get away from a predator? Most animals with wings would just fly away, but the baby can’t, obviously. And I would assume Pegasus have at least ONE serious predator (even predators can fall prey to other predators). So, I dunno. Thoughts?
