Coffee and pie, oh my.
I was sent home from my work Thanksgiving with a full, blackberry pie. Of course, it makes a lovely dessert but what feels more like a holiday weekend than pie for breakfast?

A freshly baked slice of cherry pie is so good itās like touching God. Everyone already likes all the berry pies cause theyāre good. Pumpkin, Sweet potato, and Pecan are holiday staples. I just wanna shout out some of the harder to find varieties that are also incredible.
Shout out to:
- key lime
- coconut creme
- banoffee
- Lemon meringue
Itās really hard to find a truly good slice of pie, esp if itās one of the more uncommon varieties. Feels like you kinda just have to do it yourself or know someone, either of which can be good in their own way, but it would be nice to just be able to stop at a diner or cafe late at night and get an amazing slice of pie and some coffee.
Also feels like America should have
more savory pies than chicken pot pie but thatās for another day.
Anyways, if you have a good slice of pie, cherish it.

Iām not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But itās pretty extreme when people say they āhate kidsā and I often feel itās a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids āshould be.ā That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little.
Itās fucking hard to be a kid. Youāre dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. Itās confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot.
People are impatient with kids when theyāre brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative.
A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe thatās the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.

I meant to post this yesterday. Absolutely beautiful morning for walk.
This morning is also beautiful but in a spring rain kind of way.

Prescriptive gender is a prison. Rather than gender being a form of self-expression, gender is treated as a pass/fail test for how well you can conform to cultural expectations.
Since I was young, I remember feeling a great deal of pressure to conform to these expectations around what āmenā are meant to be. You like sports, cars, womanizing, aggression, and not having feelings. I felt so distant from this ideal. I was sensitive and shy, and I preferred spending my time being creative in some way
For a long time, I felt like I was failing at ābeing a man.ā In many ways I was! Because I didnāt need toĀ bea man. All I needed to be was myself.
Itās taken me a long time to separate myself from prescriptive gender, sharpening in on which aspects of masculine energy I identify with and which I donāt. Iām not done yet. Maybe I will never fully be. The self continues to evolve over time, and I suspect aspects of my gender will too.
