[COMICS] Meowmy World #001: Guigui in My Heart
I’m launching my Meowmy World comics series this week and I’m nervous, but happy. And proud. I’m excited to show what I’ve been working on for the past weeks. I’ve made a bunch of them now, and all of them are close to my heart. They’re about my cats, after…

Akiko Bloom 2026
I’ve started a few projects lately. The truth is, I didn’t just start a few projects. I have restarted my life. I finally resigned from my job after nine years. And the reset is not just for the way I make a living, it’s also the way I live my…

It started with a question
It started with curiosity over compatibility between ISTP and INTP, and things kind of snowballed from there. Sharing the whole exchange here to remind me in the future. The text in italics+bold are from me. — Do ISTP and INTP get along well? Short answer? Yes—ISTPs and INTPs can get…

Not complaining
A lot has happened since I last shared something here. Back in July, I was a month away from our performance evals. I was also starting to get better at managing my triggers. I couldn’t sit close to a man for long periods, and it was much worse in cramped…

These days with Guigui
Tonight, something shifted. Guigui curled into the crook of my neck, so light and warm, as if he belonged there. I reached up to stroke his fur and realized—his bones no longer jutted out sharply. The ridge of his spine has softened. His ribs aren’t ghosting through his skin anymore.…

The Price of Silence
I had beaten myself up repeatedly for being unable to speak up about something for a while now. I was a victim of sexual abuse during a work activity some years back. It was during a strategic planning session among the leadership team that was held out of town during…

Heartsick
I totally forgot that it was Valentine’s Day this Friday. I received an email from one of my longtime colleagues announcing her leaving our company, and that her last day was this Friday. She might have sent it when I was already off shift on Tuesday, or probably Wednesday when…

5% Waiting
I promise I’m not just twiddling my thumbs waiting. I’m not free, I’m not available. I’m too busy with all sorts of things. Occupied with anything and everything. With what? you ask. Just anything. Just everything. Definitely not waiting. Certainly not hoping. Well…maybe a little bit hoping. Just a little…

Going Home
I’m here. I’m just here. I haven’t been looking – Was I supposed to? I’m sorry if You’ve been waiting. I’m sorry if You’ve been looking and Couldn’t find me. I’m not hiding – I’m just here. I’m just here. I’m not waiting, but maybe I have been, As much…
