I love talking about my spouse. Also I like baseball, space, and talking about autism. Sometimes my cats might make an appearance. COVID is still there
Well, my dream of having one of my ovaries removed as once again been squashed.
Luckily, my dream of appendicitis has also been scrapped, but that one is much nicer. (As a kid, watching Madeline, my brother and I were always trying to convince the adults in our lives that we had appendicitis lmao

Let's talk about the midterms.
ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.
Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

Not to brag but I’m watching Antiques Roadshow with my wife and I accurately dated an early American map within 5 years

I’ve been out of some prescriptions for awhile but I’ve been feeling SO lousy that it wasn’t until just today that I finally called to get them all filled.
It wasn’t scary but it was a lot of effort because I have new insurance and I just couldn’t muster the strength while sick

There is no compromising with this regime, because regimes don't compromise. These people are fascists. Fight fascists always. No playing to their language or moved goalposts. No taking their statements as legitimate and reporting them. And then PROSECUTE THEM. Every last one of them.

I just tried about 5 times over the last hour to take cold medicine. I think not taking my concentration juice (read: ADHD meds) for so long is having a negative effect

I'm a reporter hoping to connect with LGBTQ+ people who are struggling with their healthcare costs right now; like folks enrolled in ACA plans whose premiums have sharply increased. Also glad to talk with uninsured folks.

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges.
Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists.

After this administration started, I made a deliberate effort to get involved with my representatives. My Congressman sucks, but the only way to make change is to be vocal.
At some point, I realized that I wanted to have a log of my contacts with my reps, as proof that I wasn't just standing by.

it's great to know if a federal agent shoots you in the face the entire government will publicly slander you as a domestic terrorist before ambulances even arrive

ABC World News showed the unedited video, which kind of surprises me.
My heart absolutely sunk when I saw the push alerts on my phone but couldn’t allow myself to shed tears at work like I really wanted to.
I now can now that I’m back in my hotel.
Congress is letting the bad guys win

I have the X gender marker on my photo IDs and I mentioned that I was relieved I could travel by train, instead of by plane, because of that, and my coworkers understood exactly what I meant.
And that's fucking scary.

What happened today in Minneapolis was sooner or later going to happen when Trump put a masked secret police force on the streets of our country beating & disappearing people with impunity! Renee Good will not be the last citizen to die this way as long as killers like Noem are running ICE.
