I started apologizing for being so distant this year but deleted it. I wouldn't accept an apology from anyone else feeling this way. I'd just tell them how happy I am that they're emerging from the haze. I will apologize for this chain of skeets. I'm more of a long form writer than snappy skeeter.

Believe me, I know this is easier said than done. Instead of just saying "today I will start experiencing joy again" I'll say "today I'll start looking for the path back to joy." Maybe the secret to life is seeking enough joy to balance the pain, and spreading it to others whenever possible.

I've come to believe that one's relationship with politics/news is binary - it either consumes you and dictates EVERYTHING you do or you live in blissful naïve ignorance. This might seem obvious to you (and I'm jealous if you do) but you're allowed to experience joy in spite of the world.

I hope today is the day I can throw this thing into reverse and start living again. And if I've been avoiding bluesky because it's just a fire hose of grim political news, maybe I can try to inject some joy back into it. Be the change you want to see and all that jazz.

I forgot my best friend's birthday last week and that knocked something loose. I've insulated myself so much from the outside world in order to protect myself that I've lost touch with it. I'm letting people down and letting myself rot.

The source of my "big sad" (which is no longer the cute nickname it started as) is no secret - we're bombarded with bad news 24/7. As a trans person, I read about how I'm going to be slowly erased from public life until...I don't even know how to finish that sentence. It's been a joyless year.

I dropped off the face of the earth. I haven't ridden a roller coaster yet this summer. I've played pinball twice. I've barely been able to make it through a film. I lose interest in every book by the time I'm a quarter of the way in. I've barely picked up my guitar to make music. This isn't me!

I've been saying this for years but Dems will abandon you the second it becomes inconvenient. Cowards.

Hello, Chuck. Trans Americans are Americans, not a distraction! If fighting for the right "all Americans" involves abandoning entire groups of marginalized people, what is the fucking point? It's MAGA bigotry with a PR spin. Cowards, all of you.
