I shared the pink triangle post that Trump made on his socials with my mom as a last ditch attempt to try and make her think about her support of him. And she just made excuses. A line has been crossed.

I am trying to decide if I want to renew my passport now or wait until June after I get married. The issue is we are moving right after we get married and I don’t know if it’s realistic that I try to go through a name change and ID update at the same time. But I also don’t want to wait long. Advice?

I’m in my last semester of grad school and I am giving about 20% effort. How am I expected to do busy work when the world is falling apart around me?

I can feel myself starting to break. It is all too much. And it’s only been a week and a half.

One day off of Instagram and I already feel the effects. I think it’s because of all the old church people that still follow me. I tend to post things for their benefit, i.e. things that make it clear that I am not like them anymore. And that by definition is triggering.

Putting up library displays is hard for me. Not because I don’t love it or am not good at it, but because I’ve experienced having the cops called on my library because of a display I put up. The chairman of the library board came in and harassed us to try and get it taken down.
