Greta's first arrest. It's time for many more of us to stand up and risk arrest for the sake of a livable planet. It will turn the tide.

Cancer does not take away our capacity to love. I may be withered and scarred, but I can attend and listen. My remaining time is valuable because I retain the ability to love. Talking to me and allowing me to be with you, these things keep me alive.

Nobody asked, so nobody told!

Kevin McCarthy becoming Speaker of The House is perfect evidence that our press is a failure.

2019 vs 2023

The contrast in these transition timeline photos is a common thing. The before photo is all the more obvious in how beaten down and miserable a person was before they made the decision to be their true selves, society and haters be damned.

I would never have imagined seeing myself this happy before. It just didn't seem possible. I doubted that I'd ever see myself in a light that I would like, never mind love.

Trans healthcare is selfcare.

I think the medicine worked

Angry cat vs angry bird

Breakfast running about ten minutes late means Emily was literally dying.

The second her bowl hit the floor, she had a miraculous recovery.

I have a theater kid for a cat.

I'm not quite a train wreck, but I am, like, a monorail on fire.

Check engine light comes on in my car and the dealership can check it out tomorrow.

Check body warning comes on in me and the diagnostic shop can possibly squeeze me in a few months from now.

As bad as things are now, I don't miss that ridiculous, AI driven moderation. It sucked multidimensionally.

As republicans threaten to blow up the economy to destroy Social Security and Medicare, do not forget: the debt ceiling fight isn’t a both sides crisis it’s a republican crisis.

Last night I found this photo from 1986 in my grandmother’s belongings. It’s of me and my brother. I’d never seen it before.

Everyone always says how much my son looks like my wife, so I was blown away by how much I look like him here. I was just a little bit older than he is now.

My dad left us when I was two. I feel so bad for him that he missed out on what it’s like to be a father to such an exceptional little human.

Life is so exciting and full of choices these days, for example this week I’ve been pondering whether to choose eating or the heating.

Low, cheap and predictable ↘️
RT @yasmin_poole: Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and one of the largest individual donors in US politics, just referred to Greta Thunberg as part of the “autistic children’s brigade” in his Oxford address.

I’m nostalgic for the days when Sarah Palin was the stupidest Republican.
