Photograph of a man in front of a dark black drop cloth. Man is bald, wearing eyeglasses and a bright red hoodie with a Flash emblem on the front. Cataract Update:I’ve been slow to post this because this week was a setback, and honestly discouraging. FYI I’m still working on covering my out-of-pocket for surgery, so if you’re able, my Linktree has ways to help. Back in October to get a definite diagnosis, I paid out of pocket to see an out-of-network ophthalmologist since I couldn’t find anyone in-network with openings for months. He sent me to a retina specialist also referred me to another doctor in his same practice for a surgery consult. No issues with the retina specialist but this week I found out the other referral is not in network, despite having discussed this and the fact he's even now listed in the provider directory. Sigh! Although I'm not really starting over it feels like it. I managed to get an appt with a doctor nearby next week. I already know they have no surgical appts this year but if I can get it done closer to home it may be worth waiting. Even as a passenger, I'm tired from the long drives and I would likely have to drag my friend to Atlanta to do any better. To her credit she was willing but I think our sanity is worth getting it done nearby.. The only positive I can see from this is it gives me a little more time to build up the nest egg I need for my out of pocket costs. I will update as I know more, but in the interim thanks to everyone who has chipped in or spread the word. Digital Color Photograph - A landscape scene overlooking water with deep fog and bright lighting - the sun is about to burn off the morning mist but is brightly illuminating the mist and silhouetting the trees as well as a little gazebo on the opposite shore.

Canvas print propped slightly against a white wall. The canvas print has a colorful scene printed on it that shows two men together under a shared umbrella with rain falling around them. The men are seen from behind and their heads are in silhouette from the shadow of the umbrella.

Since his incompetence in his previous term cost over a million Americans their lives, his cabal probably figured this time around we should be grateful that we're only losing our jobs!

Dirty Don is delighted to discover his big new star for Reality TV Whitehouse. The demographics will lap it up. Think Crystal, think Alexis, think Sue Ellen. The writers will be able to keep the electorate plugged in 24/7 & ignore the world on fire around them!

Thaaaaaaaat’s Hollywood, folks!

Digital art that is mostly blue and pink in color. Two men are walking together - one man has his arm around the other. The background is bleu with a large branch covered in cherry blossoms over their head. There are pink petals on the ground and falling around them.

So I often spend an hour trying to pick a film. This is not one of those times. I have no idea outside of I watched the trailer.

Happening this weekend! Join the Dreaming Justice Project for Trans*cend: Living Art of the Trans Body.

Join us on Sunday for a reminder that trans lives are not only marked by loss but by brilliance, creativity, & a desire to create beauty in a world that does not always make room for us.
A vibrant event poster with a pink and purple sunset sky, silhouettes of pine trees, and illustrated tropical leaves and flowers framing the design. At the top, large glowing text reads “TRANS*CEND.” Below it says, “Honoring the living art of Black and Brown Trans bodies. Sun. Nov. 23, 4:30–9 PM.” The center lists event features: “Live Body Art, Performances, Vendors, Food, DJ.” The bottom notes the location: “@ Atlanta Eagle | 1492 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30309.” Sponsor logos line the lower edge of the poster, including Georgia Equality.

This morning I passed a smoker and coughed on a lungful of second hand smoke. My internal monologue was, "Oh geez, I hope he doesn't think I'm trying to scold him passive aggressively." I am literally choking on his smoke, and worried that that might upset him. I just might have had a bad childhood.
