Also, as a late Gen Xer/Xennial I'm going to make a confession I probably shouldn't.
When one of my kids-by-proxy randomly engages favorably with my posts, I take it as validation that I am still cool and relevant.
I mean, whatever. It is what it is. Pfft.

It is becoming more apparent I am 1 person doing the career work of 4 and the community work of a dozen. Not sustainable, but I don't know how to stop.
If this resonates, drink some water, eat something indulgent, read a book for fun, and remember your joy.
Joy is the reason for the struggle.

Like many at DoD, I agree with Israel's mission. As a former officer, and I hope that like many current, I disagree with many of Israel's tactics.
A warning: Any order to put a boot on Gaza soil for the intent of "owning it" is an illegal order. A world court could someday sentence you to death.

As a Deaf person mainstreamed into the world, I really do see the best of both worlds.

Is this the real Chuck Schumer? He had a spine all along?
Far be it from me to disparage him from using it, I just wish it had happened, oh, I don't know, several years ago. It could have stopped this whole mess before it started.
Good on you, Chuck. Thank you.

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once:
Congress must immediately act.
That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.

💙📚 I am 78% of the way through The Only Woman in the Room, a fictionalized telling of Hedy Lamarr's experience in 1930s Austria and 1940s USA.
EVERY American needs to read this book before it's banned. I mean this.

It’s the job of every congressional democrat to grind the gears of government to a stop.
Right now. Block everything. Slow walk every committee. Call every vote. Filibuster every post office name change.
State Dems need to build parallel institutions to protect the people at home. GET TO WORK.

If I'm lucky, I slept four hours last night. In that time, I had three different holocaust- themed dreams. In one, my spouse and I were in the back of an rv, hiding as the driver faced trains so we wouldn't be put on one for being queer. In another, my newspaper was shut down and.... 1/

Some days, self care looks like following your 18 yo daughter's advice and binge watching Switched at Birth in bed with the dogs all day on the warmest day in 3 weeks.
That's 5 good things, if you're counting.
Times are hard. Take a moment to rest, if you can. And drink water.

3 good things:
1) 12 hours later, I'm back at home after a very full day.
2) All of my worlds collided today in the most fulfilling, gratifying way: child advocacy, journalism, queer representation, DV/SA work. It's like my life's purpose is finally coming into focus.
3) Pizza. Carbs & cheese.
