To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

I called up one of the White House's "special government employees" involved in the Fulton County FBI raid.

I ended up on the phone for almost two hours hearing about the "deep state" "cabal," "Satanists," poison soda, and the "pure evil" of "gay pride." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

Here is a true thing and it has nothing to do with sales or marketing or my of that noise.

If your blood family sucks, come be with us. I get the privilege of inviting you to be an honorary X-Man and you get to ride in the Blackbird and steal Gambit’s beer and be part of a family that loves you.

Just came back from the doctor. It seems blue cross blue shield of Illinois isn’t covering hormone testing for trans folks anymore. If you get a test, you have to sign a form saying you’re willing to pay $250 out of pocket. Thanks Howard brown for not notifying us in advance.

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.

However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.

I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here.

“Gender studies is useless! Now, please subscribe to my podcast on the male loneliness epidemic and be sure to check out my substack about the birth rate crisis and whether we should repeal the 19th amendment”
kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

I life it when my wife gets inspired. I can see the moments before the purchase or the project, the excitement when it arrives, and the confusion once it’s complete or acquired.

This year, I want to share in the joy. With her new fursona, her purchase of daggerheart…I want to be part of it.
