Don't like me? You're free to move along.
I was born and raised in Indiana until I transplanted to Texas at the age of 25. I literally started the drive on the day after my 25th birthday.

I've found so much life and love down here. I refuse to abandon it to hateful nonsense (and/or worse).

Does anyone know of a resource similar to 5calls but for the state level?

Asking for a me, A (blue dot) Texas voter with a massive headache from having to make all of these calls in addition to all the other BS going in my life.

Happy -601 day! (That's the difference in our apt numbers)

We got the keys, we did some initial checks and we got internet working.

Now for the "important stuff", what to name the WiFi network.

Polling friends, responses have been good to hilarious.

Division cannot define us, We Deny their claim over our autonomy, and we Defend our ability to connect. We are expected to play their games to be seen, and stay afloat; but we want to lean on our community and stop filling the already bloated wallets of corporations actively harming society…

Mental health meds and therapy keep important people in my life alive and functioning. If you try to come for that, do not be surprised if I come for you like an angry feral cat going for the eyes.

What with packing at home and inventory prep at work and Texas weather chaos, I'm sneezing... a lot.

What's your go-to sneeze response?

I use Gesundheit (since childhood) and Godzilla (it's non-denominational) mostly.

*Yep, this is a Doom distraction post again

We didn't watch the Super Bowl for various reasons. Even though I really do enjoy watching football.

This match-up was quite uninspiring or interesting to me. So, it's been Bridgerton and Celebrity Jeopardy and normal Sunday dinner with our people.

Now we're back to packing...

if reason and democracy ever regains its place in our government, I want Congress to hold every company and corporation who cooperated with the fascists accountable for their actions.
No collaborators.

Copy pasta'd from my own Book of Faces -

Okay - let's talk something other than Doom for the moment... How does that sound?

Currently waiting to hear back "officially" that we've been approved for a new-to-us, bigger apt.

Its most likely just paperwork type stuff, but the waiting limbo is annoying and makes it hard to plan. #anxiety

The move itself should be less difficult overall because it's just across the complex.

I know its ages until Pride Month -1st-30th June 2025 but it will come along before we know it.

So, I thought the DMC thread colour list for the different LGBTQ+ flags might come in handy to stock up on threads and plan.

Happy Pride everyone!

I haven't talked about things with my dad much lately, because there's not much to share *here* (I've shared a bit more in private, closed circles).

But one thing that terrifies me it the fact that in March my parents will be switching to Medicare from the private insurance my dad had.

Its been 6 years since I last had a cigarette. Quitting the few other times I did it was never a real issue for me.

But my current stress levels had me literally debating about asking my coworker for one.

Dad officially started treatment today. So far he says it's not been as bad as he expected.

I'm thankful that my parents live ridiculously close to their local hospital and cancer center.

I'm also struggling with the fact that living 1000 miles away from them & my hometown is what's best for me.

I've gained some followers on here because this is the one place I'm openly talking about my dad's myeloma diagnosis. He starts immunotherapy on Tuesday.

Let's be specific and vague at the same time today...

Fuck Lambda Light Chain Restricted Plasma Cell Myeloma in particular.

#fuckcancer

Diagnosis is now officially. I've been expecting and dreading it and I still feel like puking.
November 26, 2024 at 5:45 PM
On top of everything else in the world, I'm going to come here and scream "Fuck Cancer. Fuck the possibility of Cancer. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK."

Sorry for the lack of context, and I hope I'm overreacting and wrong.
