If you know me from the bad place you know what you're getting. If you don't know me yet, I guess just ask and I'll probably tell you. #adoptee https://bsky.app/profile/kimpenn.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimpenn.bsky.social/post/3liilgkaey22pI hate showing weakness or asking for help so much that over the weekend I tried to tough out a broken wrist. I feel like I've seen adoptees talk about this type of thing before, always pretending to be fine no matter what? Or am I just a dumbass? :) 🥚19 Feb 2025 01:05 +0000at://did:plc:2qmkzvb6noye46pbugnwt43i/app.bsky.feed.post/3liilgkaey22phttps://bsky.app/profile/kimpenn.bsky.social/post/3lghamn2bdk2tA fun game that I am participating in right now with my fellow New Englanders is that all of us are telling each other how cold it is outside, as though the person we're telling is living in some weird warm bubble and is unaware that it's cold outside. We are all doing this. No one knows why.24 Jan 2025 01:28 +0000at://did:plc:2qmkzvb6noye46pbugnwt43i/app.bsky.feed.post/3lghamn2bdk2thttps://bsky.app/profile/kimpenn.bsky.social/post/3lgbfyfalyc2bJust want to acknowledge my #adoptee peeps and the fear and uncertainty I know so many of you are feeling today, and maybe every day for the next bit. I see you. I'm here. I love you.21 Jan 2025 17:48 +0000at://did:plc:2qmkzvb6noye46pbugnwt43i/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgbfyfalyc2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimpenn.bsky.social/post/3lewvjensk227I wasn't "touched" by adoption so much as assaulted by it. So many pretty phrases meant to deny the reality of the harm adoption can mean for #adoptees.04 Jan 2025 20:02 +0000at://did:plc:2qmkzvb6noye46pbugnwt43i/app.bsky.feed.post/3lewvjensk227https://bsky.app/profile/kimpenn.bsky.social/post/3lcieyvjkas24I'm hanging out in an auto shop waiting room for my car to be ready and they have Bob Ross on the TV. It's the mellowest waiting room I've ever been in. :)04 Dec 2024 14:38 +0000at://did:plc:2qmkzvb6noye46pbugnwt43i/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcieyvjkas24https://bsky.app/profile/kimpenn.bsky.social/post/3lbv7sotcik2dI almost cried this morning because I can't buy the brand of stuffing I always buy for the first time in my entire adult life and is that normal, do you think? To be emo about stuffing? OR is it just gonna be my first thanksgiving since my last parent figure passed and it's not about the stuffing...26 Nov 2024 23:45 +0000at://did:plc:2qmkzvb6noye46pbugnwt43i/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbv7sotcik2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimpenn.bsky.social/post/3lbgio6g6mk2pIntro deal - some random things about me: I like beer but nothing with citra hops cause those smell like cat pee to me. I read the first chapter of a book and then the last 10ish pages to make sure it comes out okay otherwise I won't finish it. My head is never quiet.

It's been nice, no one argued with me! But in practical terms it means my photos are mostly just beer pics. I'll need to work on that!14 Nov 2024 03:53 +0000at://did:plc:2qmkzvb6noye46pbugnwt43i/app.bsky.feed.post/3lauxn2fl3k2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimpenn.bsky.social/post/3lapsatmspc2hI just now put something in my profile. It took me an hour and like, forty tries and that's where I landed because lately my head is just a swarm of random thoughts buzzing all around and I thought adult me would grow out of that but nope!
