Wifey made "mock apple pie." Basically sugar, butter, brown sugar, and Ritz crackers. Tasted just like apple pie. Weird. Good though.

The challenge was jr high.

There’s a desire — consistent with our mh paradigm — to scapegoat individuals for what are clearly systemic failings.

I feel bad for wanting maybe having 2 places to live... But just a room rental isn't bad I guess. It's not an empty skyscraper investment bullshit.

I kind of figured out what I want to do when I grow up. I mean... I want to retire and have a midwestchouse and a room in NYC I can occasionally spend a few weeks in to do comedy. I'm not looking for fame. Just opportunities and location. Idk. Seems silly but it feels like a worthy goal.

It's so weird to see these planets... From my yard. The universe is wild! I had something even smaller but I could catch a couple planets... Still good memories

Congratulations though. We're doing the thing!

Yup. If my calendar app didn't remind me I would have forgotten.

You ever wonder why you keep trying to do good in the world?

I live in rfd. It is a mess. And the alderwoman has her own scandals, including abuse alligations. I am not an expert... But... Tom's resignation, even if you didn't like him, screwed things a lot

As an Xennial I now recognize how good we had it compared to generations after us. Raised at the right time, many of us got VERY LUCKY career wise and maybe we should keep that in mind before turning into our parents.

Voting is easy. If someone has an R next to their name... They're probably not worth voting for. They have thrown their lot on with the evil GOP. So... This is not a both sides statement...

Any trans-femme writers in PDX who would like to do a writers meetup? It would be a combination get-together, writing session, and craft talk. The only criteria are that you are transfeminine and serious about your writing, whether you’ve sold anything or not. Please share with your Portland pals!

I wonder if I could learn to play the guitar properly this time at 50. Gosh I am old.

"Can't believe they stole the election again." That's my only prediction for the election in the US this year.

it is interesting that I can't find any mainstream media coverage of Altman's sister Annie going viral on social media over the weekend for uploading footage of the first hour of her deposition in her lawsuit against him (one of two) in which she is alleging years of CSA

It's so good. Sometimes I just stand in the sun and am happy I just get to be me.

Ooh. Man. You must have a hell of a lunch budget. I grew up with people who now want to eradicate me. I've had bonfires, dinners, birthday parties for our kids, concerts and more. But a lunch. So I can know they think someone like me is just doing it to convert kids. What's wrong with you? Wake up

I'm sorry. Humans are not like that, typically.

But do you not take seriously the lessons of... Everything around us?

I realize that phrase is silly but I do not have another in mind right now.

The unspoken rule of "effective altruism" is like a temporal colonialism. Looking to affect the future in ways that seem good to us now, not the ways the future will themselves decide. The fools.

That's not even "fuck off future babies", it's "future babies have it better." Just a lot of thinking today about... everything....
