A cartoon dog in a room full of flames, the speech bubble has been modified to say “Rabah Emunatecha” which means “abundant is your grace” in Hebrew (which is from Lamentations 3)

Runner or pink highlighter? Nobody knows but at least the idiots doing 60 mph down rural West Michigan back roads can see me from half a mile away.

Things that are mildly frustrating: Professors with unrealistic expectations around deadlines who fail to quickly grade written assignments. Waiting until the day my next assignment is due is irritating. I cannot course correct on what I am doing wrong if I don't have timely feedback on my work.

People I think get way too hung up on themselves and what others might think about them for going against convention. I recently had a conversation with a friend who was remarking on my habit of frequently wearing mitpachat (headscarves).

The longer my wife stays laid off, the angrier I get at a system that discards workers (particularly female workers over 40), without consequence for the sake of profit. The humiliation and degrading hoops of the job hunt need to be curtailed.

The U.S. just had its worst year for international tourism since the pandemic and it wasn’t even close. While the rest of the world broke records in 2025, America was the only country out of 184 to see a drop in foreign visitor spending.

The biblical figure Rahab has been used as a prototype for sex workers in our culture--whether "with the heart of gold" 🙄 or the "fallen woman who finds God" 🙄🙄🙄 or worse. But a closer look at the story shows a savvy survivor playing both sides of a game that was never meant for her. Come unlearn!

Today in "medical conversations": MA at Gastro clinic: So you take Mounjaro. Me: Yes. MA: You're 96 lbs. Me: Yes. MA: You don't need to lose weight. Me: Perhaps you've heard of this thing called Diabetes. It's all the rage with middle-aged women who have PCOS. MA: Oh.

So. It's 11:30 on Sunday, I have to be up in a little less than 7 hours, and I'm still working on this week's assignment. It's due Wednesday. Is it my fault? Yes. But I can't say that reading about Freudian, Adlerian, or Jungian psychoanalytic framework is all that straightforward. #procrastination

I supported Don Lemon’s move into independent media, and he’s supported my work for years. Backstage at a recent panel, we talked about Trump inevitably coming after independent media. It was only a matter of time. Now Don has been arrested for doing journalism.

My theme for today's snow-covered, sunny, cold-ass run was Rage Against The Machine, because why not listen to some topically relevant protest music. I got in about 3 miles in ~11 degree weather. Wasn't so bad.

Proving I'm not Schrodinger's Canadian is starting to get expensive. For *one* Canadian birth certificate, I needed to obtain two death certificates and a marriage certificate, because data was missing on all of them, so to get mostly correct/complete information to request certified birth records

There's nothing weirder than trying to get documents from family members with sensitive information on them for citizenship purposes. "I swear Grams, I don't want to steal my grandfather's identity, I just need to prove he's related to the person born in Canada so I can flee the country, legally."

Well. Tomorrow is D-day for what has been a wild 19-year ride living in Phoenix. Seems surreal, packing up the sum of my history here into little boxes and sticking them on a shelf. Still sort-of not sure what to do with it. Gonna miss the mountains and the landscapes and the diversity of people.

I love just how butthurt someone can get after being told shit they need to hear but don't want to hear. Caught a warning on reddit for harrassment, for *checks notes* telling someone that their calorie counting probably isn't as accurate as they think it is.

...My wife has been out of a job due to a layoff for over a month. Her severance runs out in a month and a half. She's had one interview. We're going to wind up homeless at this rate - my income cannot support us. We're going to be so unbelievably screwed.

Scale victory today - I'm back down to 129 pounds. I haven't been this weight since before my vow renewal in 2023. I still have 33 lbs to go, but I'll take the 18lbs gone since May.

Final is done, and I turned it in on time. Go me. Not my best work. Can't say I will miss my class, but, I did manage to inspire a future research topic for my professor. So... that's cool. (For the curious, this was a 200-level introductory PolySci class).

Spent my day agonizing over my final for this class I'm taking. It's due tomorrow. I still have 1 slide plus speaker's notes, annotations, and references to submit. At least that shouldn't take more than an hour or two, and then I get to record my presentation, which will take *forever*.

Edit - I'm done. Thank Hashem. Not my best work, but also, I kinda phoned it in because I a.) am tired, b.) have no desire to think anymore this weekend, and c.) my wife needs my laptop so she can hunt for work. #overit

Write a paper about special interests in elections, they said. Ok. I'll write a paper about Prop 139. Which... yeah, is about abortion access. ...I may have girlbossed to close to the sun for a paper that can't be longer than 1250 words. FML.

...Fascism-era fashion is way too fucking beige for my tastes and I hate it. Did I just thrift an entire 2010-2017 wardrobe for summer? Yep. Bright pastels and neon. Bring on the color. Because fuck boring clothes. (I am also losing weight so I wasn't dropping full price at the mall).

So fucking annoyed with AI and the plagiarism detector my school uses. Like bitch, I did not just sit here for 4 days typing a research paper and physically locating information to argue my entire fucking position on a topic I could care less about, just to be accused of plagiarism by a robot.

Well. Here's to hoping my meds do something. Got prescribed some meds to lose weight/fix my blood sugar. I'm hoping they work because I've tried everything to lose the spare tire I've developed over the last 4 years due to autoimmune thyroid issues.

Woke up from my 4th nightmare of the night an hour ago. Currently crying. 90% positive that I'm gonna wind up divorced either by supreme court decision or by laws passed in my own state before the year is out. I hate it here and want to run. I don't have it in me to fight for this place.

Well today, on day #4678 of 'what even the fuck is happening with this dumpster fire of a country today?', I came across a clip of that crazy ass pastor chick who is now in charge of the White House faith office, asking for 'sacrificial offerings'. Of money. Because of course she is.
