Recently switched from a manual to electric. I was accustomed to listening to the engine to gauge speed. My first time driving to work, I looked down and realized that I was going 96MPH. ( the Electric Mini has a setting for an auditory warning when I exceed a specific speed, it’s now turned on). 🙃
Once again I had to park my own car at a valet station because the valet didn't know how to drive manual; this doesn't bother me and in fact I find it amusing, but it certainly brings home that I really am from a different age of the world now.

When it’s the Thursday before break and every single student with ADHD has 3 *semester-long* assignments due. And you also have ADHD. 🙃
Seriously though. I love my job, but we just took over an empty classroom bc there was no way we could fit in my office.

i wonder if maybe we should stop writing post-apocalyptic fiction just until we're sure that's not where rich people are getting their ideas

These kind of votes are born out of trans representation in government.
Rep. Howell & I have built solid relationships with Republicans and those relationships change hearts, minds, and (eventually) votes.
It is painful, grueling work. But it makes a difference.

Two BIG wins in Motnana!
We killed two anti-trans bills today (a drag ban & a bill requiring CPS to remove trans kids from parents).
I'm so grateful for Montana Democrats, who have stood unwavering in their support of trans rights. And grateful to all the Republicans who said enough is enough.

Hey.
I know everything is on fire right now.
I need you to stop, drop, and roll, for just a second.
Take a real deep breath.
Another, deeper this time. Let it sigh out of you like the grumble of winter slipping away.
I know it's hard.
But you are the beautiful thing in the midst of wreckage.

They cannot break me, but by the 7th hour in the studio mindlessly putting dots on pottery… they may have broken my back.
I feel like making art is a form of resistance.
Because as long as you’re making something beautiful, you’re not letting the regime steal your joy.

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.
