I hate being right.
God for once I would love to be wrong

My updated birth certificate arrived today.
My name change is officially complete.
I had no idea how much that meant to me until this moment.
Holy crap, it's done!

I finally watched the Wicked film last night & in addition to it being an incredible adaptation of the musical, it is exactly the kind of art & storytelling we need right now.
It's not an accident that a hyper relevant film about rising fascism is coming from an AAPI director with a Black lead.

The kids are with their dad this week, so after seeing today's news I called them up to tell them I loved them.
My 15 year old is avoiding the news. Today they were spooked by imaginary numbers and a 1200 word essay.
I needed to hear that normalcy.
Time to dissociate.

Big reminder that my small community is truly special.
Last night I got to meet one of my heroes, Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer, and tell her about the serviceberries at my favorite park.
This human, her work, and getting to witness it in person is a true gift, one I'll never forget.

Hey friends, I'm wanting to start buying digital music rather than rely on streaming.
What's your favorite place to get MP3 albums? Bandcamp seems great, but doesn't have people like Hozier.
I already have a Plex server, but open to other suggestions.

The best gaslighters don't try to convince you of the truth. They get you to convince yourself that you don't know the truth. That your truth is one of many acceptable truths and only exists because of your skewed perspective.

And now Tiktok is back.
This feels like the stuff my mom used to pull as a teen about letting me see friends.
No you can't. Yes you can, but only if you do these chores. That wasn't enough, you can't. Well, now you can, you better be grateful.

If they can turn off (apparently multiple) social media sites like a switch...
They can do the same for porn.
It's in Project 2025. What're the chances they go that far?

At this point in my life I've had so many people I admire turn out to be monsters that I'm just...unphased.

Yoinked from a Tiktok comment.
@fierybrunette:Tiktok helped so many women realize what abuse looks like. The same week of its ban, FB goes back to allowing women to be referred as "household objects/property"
it's NOT a coincidence
This, so much this.
