Listen, I recognize sanitation is important as much as the next girl. But I'll wait to buy a new Honda until after they've retired the Poo Truck.

So...Miz Lewis and I had a moment. And then @witchychristi.bsky.social and I had a moment. And finally Mercer and I had a moment.

They made good on their #PieInTheFace claim at #AtlantaPrideFestival ...and I f'ing loved it!!

Miz Lewis and Ami share a sticky memory. Kinda wish I'd pushed Miz Lewis into the cream in my chest... Witchy Christi and Ami share another sticky memory. She was much gentler than Miz Lewis. Mercer and Ami share yet another sticky memory. Mercer had no fear in hugging me full on afterward. It was all worth it!!

We're heading home from the #AtlantaPrideFestival and not happy about it. What an amazing time! Maybe next year...?

Welp...turns out I was wrong. Miz Lewis and @witchychristi.bsky.social did do the ol' #PieInTheFace. I'm waiting on some photos, but here is proof...ironically, I don't have pics with anyone but Pie #3 just yet!

And yet I earned a Ph.D., got married, had a successful career, have a beautiful family... Funny, that. Seems I *am* a heroine these days. 💜

Did I...did I see this right? Did the NRA just support the transgender community over the Trump DOJ...?

It's a weird political situation we're going through, but I didn't realize it was *this* weird.

I got my certs from the #NGH as a #CertifiedHypnotist today! Just like Vernon in #OhBrotherWhereArtThou - I'm #BonaFide.

Seriously, this certificate looks nicer than the diploma I got from University of Georgia for my Ph.D.! Perhaps #hypnosis is better respected?

"Again...?" my wife asks.
"Again??" my son asks.

"Yes," I say. "Again."
And with dignity due a #SailorGuardian, I head to my room to read.

I was at the grocery store with my wife and skirted around a dude with my cart. My wife called back "Sorry - woman driver!"

I wasn't sure if I should be offended...or embrace the misogyny as affirmation. 💜😹💜
