every holiday I force my loved ones to buy me a book with completely no help from me. once I’m not a picky reader, it’s a fun time to see what they think sounds good and find something new.

my auditory processing disorder always surprises me. here’s one from this morning…

what I heard:
“I’ve gotta goose in my vehicle.”

what was actually said
“I’ve gotta go see my bagel.”

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Remember those who have been killed, injured, abused, tortured for being who they are.

Remember those who have taken their own lives because they could not live in a world where they could not be themselves.

Remember them. And make the world remember them.
