I don’t know what to do when I have no means by which to do anything. The possible courses ahead are manifold a fraught. So I let the dogs frolic in the snow and burn some old shitty tobacco and seethe.

If any of y’all are in Albuquerque this evening, I encourage you to go to this Trans Day of Remembrance event. Nico’s good peeps. They were one of the reporters who talked with us about our escape from Arkansas, following the ban on care for trans minors in 2021.
We’re gonna try to make it tonight.

Been off antidepressants for about two months now. Haven’t been able to get back into the doc the get things set back up. Working in a fourth-floor office in a building where every floor above 1 is a mezzanine has meant a lot of whispers of “Just over the railing and it’s better for everyone.”

The lack of seriousness about it just made me want to get more serious. Here’s to the safety guys who “notice too much”.
