  • Where there’s a will, there’s a toupee . I am blessed with a full, thick, luscious dark blonde coupe, but everyone around being so negative about hairpieces made me think about them a lot… Following that, I have come to peace with the fact that I might go bald, and I might not like it, and rando hairpiece-haters around me won’t stop me from going all 18th century on my new hairpiece.

    My first own house was in the middle of a lot of cultures that are different from my own, and man did those folks LOVE changing their hair every few days, with pieces or otherwise. Every second shop was selling surrogate hair, and it looked very cool. I think that part of those cultures is fucking rad, and it inspired me to pre-emptively accept my own future toupee, if it ever comes to that.

    In dutch they say: “Hunger makes raw beans taste sweet”!

    when packing up after windsurfing, they would advise against taking your trapeze off (a huge belly belt that can connect you to the sail, handsfree!) before you had access too food, because more often then not, it would unleash the hunger beast within. It was fun to have that power over your own hunger! GIMME THOSE SWEET BEANS!


  • I have a similar (writing skill) story to yours but no diagnoses. I just assumed my hand was the wrong shape and didn’t fit the norm that lets you write in the taught and most used form. My hand is too… .scrunched up… when using a pen, to many finger tips on the pen itself.

    I see some folks around me with autism diagnoses that have extra difficulty with small motor function, and that often includes below-par handwriting. If that kind of stuff has been hard for you too (like having difficulty with cutlery or scissors), it might be part of the same pattern. If not, you might just have been unlucky when they were handing out hands ;-)
