#TheShyViolet said my home decor style was, "Live Laugh Love for the mentally ill."

Well, now I'm proving them right!

Hi y'all, I'm Exvie Janeway. I started as an anonymous Twitter acct, in 2014, where I tried to work out my faith questions in a bit less fear & trembling.

My husband is #TheVulcan, & we have 4 kids:

#TheFirecracker, 19
#TheShyViolet, 16
#TheMarathonRunner, 12
& #TheSupergirl, 10

ALSO?

In other news:
#TheShyViolet said today that they want to apply for an electrician's apprenticeship!
I'M SO PROUD!
This kid is a hyper-introvert, LOVES hands-on work, & is very diligent about seeing a task through to the end.
I think they'll do a WONDERFUL job!

#TheShyViolet came back from a week at the beach, post-graduation.

"I think we'll find a different beach to go to next year. We'd walk down the street & ppl would yell 'faggot!' or 'Tranny' at us."

💔

I was heartbroken, but they were like, "It's not THAT bad; it's like that here sometimes."

So, #theShyViolet has a really...ignorant friend.
He asked, "Why don't the Vietnamese celebrate Thanksgiving?"

Later on, he thought that, "The 12 Days of Christmas," was a Hanukah song.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't HEARD HIM ask Shy Violet about....

Question:
#TheShyViolet asked me for a Spanish AND a Russian dictionary for Christmas. 🤨

WOW!

I'd like to take it a step further.

Does anyone have a Rosetta Stone for either of those languages that you aren't using any more? (Can they be used off-line?)

#TheShyViolet has started re-watching all the Marvel movies.

They didn't remember asking to watch Iron Man over & over again, as a 3-4yro, until they saw Pepper Potts bring Tony his old arc reactor. 😍

I know Marvel gets a lot of flack. But, it truly is a mythology for modern times.

Well, if we're talking about ethical pet-napping stories, I just participated in one. 😆

Our neighbors had an outdoor cat that frequently showed up at our house. The last 2 times we saw her, she was missing clumps of fur, skinny as hell, & starved for affection.

#TheShyViolet said, "I know...
Well done!

I heard frantic whining and barking in a parking lot and found what was CLEARLY a 4-5week old puppy confined in a huge crate, planted on the sunny side of seat. Windows were cracked about an inch.

Called authorities, “your the 8th person to call abt this. 1/
I kidnapped a dog today. Sorry not sorry. Also. The dog was a play fetch brat with full on tantrums. But he was cute so fine. And now he’s gone 😩 But I loved him for the 3 hours I had him. 🥹 He didn’t even say goodbye. Just rolled out! 👋🏽 ✌🏽 🤷🏽‍♀️

Well, this is not the phone call someone WANTS to get, but I've been expecting it for 20+ years.

My father apparently got scammed for all the $$ he has.

As you may remember, I've been no-contact w/ my father since #TheShyViolet was born, so almost 17 yrs.

She'd just MADE HERSELF AT HOME!

#TheShyViolet & I put her into a carrier, & drove her to my friend's house, who was absolutely delighted to be her new cat-dad.

He took her to the vet the next morning, & we found out why she never ate:

The poor thing had lost ALL her teeth, except....
September 19, 2025 at 4:23 PM
Yeah, this thing right here.
It's just a bent strip of metal.
IMAGINE how she'd have to step on this to slice her foot!!

I wasn't even here, I was picking up #TheMarathonRunner from an activity.

#TheShyViolet called me, "MOM, THERE IS BLOOD EVERYWHERE!!"

So, #TheShyViolet says, "You don't respect my boundaries."

Why?

Not because I don't respect their pronouns, new name, personal space, or free time, or when they say they don't want to talk.

Because when they tell me they're tired all the time & have brain fog...
