With thanks to Ali at Scottie’s Playtime. I am absolutely with her. I was with Biden too, even as I began to wonder if he was up to the task at hand. Right now, nothing in the US political realm is more important than stopping the authoritarian, would-be dictator and his theocratic minions.
Minorities, and indeed our very democracy, are at severe risk if that man ever sets foot again in the White House. Minorities such as BIPOC, immigrants, and LGBTQ are (rightly) concerned about concentration camps. I’ve said before that I see the United States as on the threshold of a repeat of 1933 Germany. I truly do not see that as hyperbole.
Vote as if your life, and that of people you care about, are on the line. Vote as if our very democracy is on the line. Because they are.
I’ve been stressing a lot recently, and as a result, stimming quite a bit. I usually have some sort of stimming object near me. I have a stress ball on my desk, and have a tendency to just trace the outline of my phone case where it has an opening for the camera.
I highly recommend this site, for both cis and trans people. The page I linked below is mostly for people with “little to no prior knowledge of what it means to be transgender.”
Yesterday, I received a call from the cardiology clinic. Anesthesiology had contacted them to obtain a clearance for that upcoming, not yet scheduled, surgery.
I generally avoid taking about my childhood. That’s largely because I have very few memories of it. I remember perhaps 5% of my childhood before my parents divorced, around the time I turned 10.
I will be having a colonoscopy tomorrow. If you’ve ever had one, you know what “colon prep” means in that context. Here’s a hint: It is not fun. Yes, the rest might be TMI.
I am a well educated woman, a lesbian, and an eclectic Pagan. I am loving and giving. I am a caretaker type, who often fails miserably at self care. I have fibromyalgia, seizure disorder, and AFib.
I am complex, complicated, and worth the effort.
