HEY FRIENDS GUESS WHAT MONTH IT IS?!

It's August, and that means we are rapidly approaching everyone's favourite holiday: KAT HAS A BIRTHDAY AND YOU SHOULD EAT ICE CREAM! YAYYYY!!!!

My literal birthday is August 28th, which is a Wednesday. On that specific day, I have school, have to figure out logistics about a car and a friend at the airport, and then have an Exec meeting. I will be eating ice cream alone in my house that evening, while on a zoom call and trying to be patient and kind as well-meaning cis people talk about gender. IT WILL BE GREAT. (It will not be great, but there's nothing to be done for it).

BUT!

Just a few days earlier will be the lovely Saturday evening of August 24th. Ooo, aaah! I will be eating ice cream that evening in Davis Square! If you live close to Davis Square, you should absolutely come join me. Traditionally I eat ice cream around 8pm, and then I eat more ice cream around 10pm. I usually go home sometime between 11 and midnight. I show up _seconds_ before 8pm, or realistically close to 8:15, look, it's my birthday and I have ADHD, I am doing my best.

At any rate, you are extremely welcome to come join me for any or all of that. I will likely be wearing a mask when I'm not eating ice cream and I invite you to do the same. If I am having symptoms of covid, or a cold, or the flu, or any gross disease that I would feel rude sharing with my friends, I will not be there (and I invite you to do the same). Feel free to bring friends who are not going to be jerks about the above. There are no other plans for this party beyond hang out in little social groups and chat and eat ice cream, so anything that would make that better for you is welcome!

If you don't wanna join me in Davis (or if you do and want more ice cream excuses, please live your best life) you are welcome to eat any form of cold treat between now and the end of August, and to send me documentation of some variety. I am extremely mellow about my definition of "ice cream" --gelato, sherbert, sorbet, popsicles, those weird Finnish licorice things, anything that you feel is a Nice Treat For You counts.

This is how I recharge my power for the rest of the year, and ensure that I can Accomplish Fabulous And Weird Stuff, which yinz seem to enjoy from me. Also it's a good excuse for ice cream.

It me, as the saying goes. I gave a lifelong friend sh*t today for complaining about the expression "pregnant people." I pointed out that men can be pregnant as well, and she let it go instead of arguing. It's not as though she doesn't hear me rant about innumerable things, so I don't know if this was fair, but doing my tiny bit.

I'll buy some at-home ice cream before the actual b-day and send a pic.
