I told Alisha May 26 was my birthday this year. She texted “ointment?” instead. The cat ate the butter. I hid inside the house before I left to get groceries because Janice was mowing with intent.

Alisha went next door for what was supposed to be an easy stay. It wasn't. Two days in and she's itchy, Urgent Care's googling her rash like it's a Reddit thread, and somehow Janice's fence gets involved. Meanwhile, I'm losing sleep, watching Homestead Rescue against my will, and battling an emotionally manipulative cat. Did I miss her? Oh yes. Did I admit that out loud?

We were guests at a famous person's house. And by famous person I mean the matriarch of the neighborhood. That's right, folks, we've finally made it.

This episode contains zero shame, moderate cat hair, and one fully grown adult admitting that life revolves around four-legged roommates with zero chill and excellent bone structure. I talk routines (theirs), boundaries (none), and how I wish I could be a cat for two days.

Not my typical episode… I was spiraling earlier, thinking about all the atrocities occurring in this country. About how people are suffering, families are being torn apart. About how being white doesn't mean anything when you're a female, when you're a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, when you're a veteran, when you're autistic. We're all susceptible. I forgot to mention that when I was talking about white men, I don't mean ALL white men. Just the evil ones. Sorry guys!To stop the spiral, I journaled about what I feel evil and resistance look like. Making lists when I'm anxious is calming, so I journaled myself some lists. I don't know how anyone would benefit listening to this, but I always hope you do.***Email: autisticang38@gmail.comAutistic Logic Mini Course: https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choicesAdult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: autisticang38.substack.comInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030aQuora: adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.comReddit: reddit.com/r/autisticang38Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social

Contained rage is the best way I can describe how I feel after witnessing "mean girl" behavior play out right in front of me but on someone else.
