Five years ago today I emailed a letter to the class that I was TAing and told them that I was trans.

It was the last barrier standing between me and being my truest self in all phases of my life. Even the smallest steps can be so scary at the start like that, but it's worth it for what follows.

The presentation in the Super Bowl halftime show has been so good the past two years. They've taken it past just putting on a spectacle for the sake of a show and are truly telling stories with set design and performances.

And Bad Bunny was great!

Learning how to notice flock cameras and where to look for them is the most cursed scavenger hunt that I CANNOT stop playing.

Students at schools all around metro Atlanta have been participating in school walkouts this week to protest ICE and many administrations are threatening them with punishment over it.

All they're doing is reinforcing the exact systems that these students are speaking out about and silencing them.

It has been two months since I lost my mom to colon cancer, she would have been 64 years old today. I was lucky to be able to spend so much time with her over the last year of her life, but unfortunately it had to be while also watching the toll the disease and everything surrounding it took on her.

Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE and while my mind races with many thoughts, I can come up with no words that properly express my anger and sadness. The damage that this brutality has done to the lives of so many cannot become the "new normal."

Abolish ICE

The President partook in an illegal act of war in Venezuela. Not only can we not stand for this, but it's an example of what happens when those in power continue to capitulate to him.

We must demand better from those that represent us and if they don't deliver we have to find someone that will.

It's such a shame watching CBS News and 60 Minutes deteriorate in real time. I used to watch the amazing journalism with my parents every sunday night when I was young. Now Bari Weiss and the Ellisons have made it all a joke by hiding good journalism and pushing puff pieces on Trump's cronies.

Marjorie Taylor Greene had the right-wing hate machine turn on her over not falling in line with healthcare. Her last action in Congress after seeing what it can do is to turn that same hate machine onto trans kids and their healthcare.

Let's get one thing clear, issues like ICE terrorizing cities like Los Angeles and Chicago and now our neighbors in Charlotte are not a distraction from "real" issues like affordability. They're both equally a part of billionaires bleeding us dry and need to both be addressed with equal energy
