pettybaby: just joined. what did i miss?
Stunning writing with a smartass flourish. These beautiful observations into my internal world and the human experience don’t come easily, you ghouls.

You’re not the only one who can be petty. My finger is pretty close to the block button…

That’s better. Rock-a-bye little pettybaby. Let your unconscious process all the themes I’ve graciously given you.
pettybaby: it’s literally 10am
Baby’s nap time.
pettybaby: i wrote a substack about you. pettybaby: mademoiselle_dell seems to be at war with herself. She wants to be seen, but not exposed. She wants company, but not when it’s in arms reach and requires vulnerability. It’s really striking how she’s constantly being watched, but is not at all known. Not really. Constantly being witnessed, but still alone — pettybaby: … While one might have at one point thought mademoiselle_dell was disconnected from herself, we’re ultimately left with the heartbreaking alternative that she is quite connected to her body and pain. Perhaps the constant ignoring of her persistent pain, creating a world of loneliness for herself, literally creating physical pain is her form of paying penance. One is left to wonder, for what?
pettybaby NERD. Sounds like I’m a non-consenting research participant. You better pay me.
pettybaby: i’m begging you, for all our sake. please log off and go eat some curry with Lee (⸝⸝ ♡﹏♡⸝⸝)
You don’t want to practice unethical standards…No exploitative research allowed in my dungeon. I’ve blocked for far less egregious.

There ya go. That wasn’t so hard. Now, where was I? Oh yeah, guzzling pepto and painting a beautiful, suffocating picture of the human experience for you heathens.

Grief is the Thing with Feathers
Max Porter
pettybaby commented...
This came across my feed at just the right time. I’m coming into the time of year that marks my dad’s death. It will be nine years and this past week as the grief felt nearer I found myself having self-judgement come up as if “I should be over this by now” — as if there was an external and internal pressure telling me that my grief has a deadline. Thanks for sharing this quote from a book I adore. I get to take my time. “Refuse to rush.” Maybe I will return to this book in the next couple of months to accompany me with my grief!
