Right as tens of millions of Americans face rising healthcare premiums and lower coverage, the House continues to punch down and target our most vulnerable.
Trans healthcare is inexpensive, regulated, medically and academically vetted, and has near zero complication and regret rates.
Shame.

Having a silly crush has given me absolute joy.
It’s been so long since NRE had my heart.
Therapy.
Improving my NP Relationship.
Getting out there again.
Feeling myself.
Yeah. It’s a good feeling.
*sigh*
🤞
That could totally change at any moment.

Literally re thinking my entire nannying arrangement because of a new dog.
I am having a sensory nightmare of a day and this new dog will not stop licking me, face, hands, arms, ankles…
I am literally shaking, in tears because I cannot control this other dog.
My nervous system is about to explode

Just saw a post that I scrolled past a photo of new tattoos on three ankles.
I smiled, kept scrolling for a second. Gulped, double checked...
The blurb used was “Sweet to have a mother, daughter, sister tattoo!”
A heart & an infinity symbol.
The symbol seen in the poly community.
Not gonna tell em

It is so surreal living in a place that once was so foreign.
My ex moved here over 25 years ago, would send me letters 2,700 miles away, addressed from a town over.
Now, the only thing foreign is the author ✍️
&…I suppose that version of me.
All that is left is who drives past the city sign.

I wish home was safer…
I wish I knew I could live here without fear…..

NEW: Yesterday, I posted that I was unable to get the COVID vaccine at my VA clinic, and many of you assured me that the new one would be available soon and that I was overreacting. I was not overreacting. I am no longer eligible for the vaccine. apnews.com/article/vacc...

Dude.
I just had a smiley interaction with someone on my walk.
They complimented my outfit.
I did my normal “find something to compliment them on”
I misinterpreted the situation, I thought they wanted to know where I got the outfit, they left to let me think.
They were hitting on me… 🤦🏻♀️

My spouse, bless their heart,
Did not know the lyrical plot of the ‘Sound of Music’ classic “sixteen going on seventeen” singing much happier lyrics that made me ugly laugh.
I played the song,
I said listen to the lyrics.
Horrified: “WOW, that’s a misogynistic song”

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking.
I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.
