2025 gonna be a big one.
Starting with a surgery on my wonky brain.
It’s gonna be rough, guys. Protect what you have. Support who you can in the ways you are able. Lift up those around you who are most vulnerable, always. Love y’all.

This hurts to think of, but so very true. So many of our queer elders are missing.
if your "why do gen x and boomers suck so bad ideologically" analysis doesn't include that cool people in those generations disproportionately died of AIDS you are blinkered

Real talk. Wife and I are getting our wills and medical/financial POA done asap. Adoptions and birth certificates of kiddos with both of us are already done. What else should we do?

My wife came up to me thanking me for not letting her stocking go empty like so many married women on her social feeds. Baffling.
Why would a partner (or seemingly, lots of partners?) neglect their spouse like that? Don’t you love sharing their joy? And with something so small?

Just talked to my wife about the joys of conditional formatting for a giant spreadsheet her work team is compiling to track org goals across their dozens of grants. She’s excited to bring it back to them. Data nerd wife for the win!

Just heard about the loss of a beloved childhood friend. Time is so long and short. I wish I could remember the last time we hugged…

Video game averse wife is playing MarioKart with the 15yo and it’s hilarious. She’s trying so hard to get into it because he asked to play together but she’s pretty awful and not really a fan. But it’s really sweet to listen to them banter.

Picked up a new med (for my wonky brain stem) and the pharmacist looked at it, and all the others they have me on, then she grimaced and said “I really hope you feel better soon”.
I honestly chuckled the whole way home.

I bought some Xmas gifts for my kids today. It’s made me weirdly anxious. Who is this person prepping 2 months ahead of time, because I swear I don’t know her…

I sure do love when even my “good” insurance requires hours on the phone fighting about pre-authorizing meds I need to function…
I wonder if we could fix that instead of building space hotels?

Truly. So tired.
Always remember that people like this are a problem only because one of the two major parties is pursuing a reactionary political project that deliberately enables them as deputies of the authoritarian state and relies on them to chase down anything deemed subversive or deviant.

Thrilled for writers tonight. Such a hard fought victory. Y’all set off a cascade of labor efforts this summer, and I know it wasn’t without substantial sacrifice. I hope you got every line item.

Figuring out how to navigate my new career outside of academia and education- well, mostly. EdTech doesn’t count right?
Proud to have found a new path that is more financially solvent, and way less stressful on my body and mind.
