me: "Oh - that E is backwards, it's Gendertrash from Hell. Maybe it's called that to be edgy? So the cover will communicate, these trans people aren't trying to -"
Daughter: "I don't think that's edgy *enough*, actually"

Just one thing (if it was me, I'd want everyone to STFU unless it's really helpful & not obvious)
If you can get an Enhanced ID New York driver's license (not RealID, the tier past that), those let you cross the land border to Canada & are issued by state, not feds.

Trying not to let the right influence my speech patterns, but “transgender for everybody” is poetry to me unfortunately

I have, and I do! I've done the sign-in helper shift a few times and would say it's easier than checkout at the co-op. Chips recipients vs. coop shoppers: equally polite, less chatty, receiving one of several items rather than tens in a set of thousands, & have their ID more ready to present
Dana, have you ever worked a coop shift at CHiPS, and do you recommend it? It's something I vaguely keep meaning to try

Here's a map of community fridges in other neighborhoods: www.fridgefinder.app/browse
Brooklynites: with SNAP benefits expiring as of today, here are two ways you can help feed neighbors: donate to CHiPS, the food pantry/ women's shelter in Park Slope: www.chipsonline.org. Or leave food in the community fridge on 6th Street between 4th and 5th avenues, next to the Postmark Cafe.

When my daughter was 2 she woke up from a dream, sobbing. She eventually got out that she was "afraid of the elephant". Over the next few days she explained that the elephant:
- was sitting on a bench
- looked at her
- came towards her
- tried to hold her hand
- told her many things (?!?)
