Christian Nationalists are coming for your freedom, and want to enable deadly spousal abuse. It's no coincidence they feel emboldened.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

3: Then needed to once again dig into my personal testimony about my experiences and current circumstances, and how I have some major metaphorical skin in this.

One hour.

Had to talk about how, where I grew up, it wasn't that there weren't trans people, it's that violence was threatened for anything queer, trans, gay.
Because the protest "We Won't Go Back" means we don't want to return to the values that said it was okay to demonize and harm queer folks.

Sigh.

Less than one hour after the president was sworn in, I'm having conversations about how valid trans people/teens and their needs are.
Immediately after saying I didn't wanna talk politics at work, but something was said in followup.

It's coming up on a year since Grandma's passing. I clicked off the "favorite" next to her phone number. It was sad to see it every day, but now I am sad to let it go.

It's a real weird, heart wrenching feeling to digitally step away from the connections severed by death.

My cybersecurity systems trainer, today, talked about using sed in the 80s on OG Unix. Then made a Munsters reference.
And is now literally yelling at us about whitespace characters in configuration files. 🀣

Status . . Sitting in a sponsored training course, with some rather ridiculous training methods. Feeling grumbly.
Teeth are currently better. Them luxury bones don't get healed for cheap.
Local clinics sending me huge bills, suddenly not covered by insurance.
This system sucks. We need change.

Our medical system is a joke. Except the punchline is suffering.
Today I went to the dentist for an infected abscess from a root canal. High pain. The doctor, having recently moved from Texas, hasn't gotten his licensure for prescribing pain meds yet. So I guess I'll just max dose OTC and suffer.

A little midnight poem:

Sometimes,
when I hear a boom,
I look out the window
for mushroom clouds.

I know
it's just another plane.
Flying low,
avoiding some turbulence,
or another.

But deep down I fear,
that there will be a day,
when I look out,
it'll be the last thing I see.

I know temptation and old habits call us, but remember friends: when an anon rando with no platform has a weird bad take

You can just block them

I know, the optimists amongst us think that surely a person wearing the trappings of reason can be reasoned with

Don't do it

Be free

Don't expect a lotta my spicy rhetoric, friends. I'm on a weird sorta social media lockdown in some respects. IYKYK. If not, you can ping me. :p
