SSRI’s have kept me alive for 36 years. Without them my brain will tell me that I’m a burden to everyone I know, and the world at large would be much better off without me and I’ll end it. POOF.

I think I’m finally having my midlife crises. I’m 55. I hope this doesn’t mean I’m going to live to 110.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.

Hi - I’d like to be more active on this platform but can’t find my people. Do they have to be added one by one? Can they be imported from a different platform?

My college kid got sick and ended up in hospital so I flew to Portland to take care of her. Nothing like driving around an unfamiliar city at night in an unfamiliar rental car, navigating an unfamiliar hospital. But that’s all done now and she’s discharged and safe with me at an unfamiliar hotel.

My potter pals are starting to worry about tariffs on raw ingredients for glazes and such. Predicting higher prices and limited material. So that’s fun.
