This is what I want to hear every man say and then I want them to do it.

So, I've been crashing out all day over the Cornell 7. And I think the thing that hurts most is that they felt it was okay to send a rape text to a group chat. And they were right. And Im so fucking tired of trying to convince men that women are people.

Not all men, just the 7 that drugged her and raped her. And the ones in the group chat who did nothing. And the judges and administrators who "dont want to ruin a promising life" The ones who dont call out bad comments or bad behavior. The ones who dont call our bad partners.

This Cornell 7 stuff hurts my soul. But I am seeing a lot of angry men on my Insta calling out other dudes and I guess that's progress. I guess.

I recently hung out with a dude who had clearly done little self reflection in his life but was recently called out as being a man child, took the criticism to heart, and talked about wanting to do better. On one hand, dude is in his 40, WTF? On the other, it was nice to see growth.

A couple years ago I was explaining to my guy friend one of the reasons im single is that its hard to find a guy who wants to be an actual partner and not just offload a bunch of the executive functioning on me. I mentioned thats what I see on a lot of relationships, especially ones with kids.

I honestly find it hard to believe that people care deeply about parking issues when they buy giant cars, SUVs, and trucks.

I made it through one hour of the bike meeting before I gave up. Apparently its happening, and I am for it however that comes to pass.

I have a lot of sensory issues. It turns out that buying face moisturizer in stick form means that I actually use it and my skin is happier for it. Am I basically putting a giant chap stick on my face, yes. Whatever, it helps.

Do I want to vote for an old white man for president? No. Will I enthusiastically pull the lever for Van Hollen? Probably. Do I think he should be the Senate majority leader and not president? Definitely.

I guess it's good to realize that walking red flags with visibly defined abs continues to be my greatest weakness.

The visa application for India was a process. But it is done. Waiting in approval now.

So in order to get a Nepali visa you have to upload a passport sized photo for the application. I dont even know how you would do that. So I guess I'll be getting my visa at the airport.

Well, guess I need to learn about the Sharp St bike lanes plans so I can go defend them at the community meeting next week. Ugh. This is going to be brutal and I'm going to hate it.

Bro: I dont know about trans women in sports Me: 😬 B: I think the solution is to just get rid of gendered sports entirely and just make it all open and by skill level. M: I actually dont hate that idea. A lot of sports dont even need to be gendered.

Once or twice a year, I have a full-blown freak out that I will never be able to retire. I then spend hours looking things up, doing math, and thinking about contributing more. Then I remember to look up my pension estimates and try to ease the tension from my body. Why am I like this?

If I had the money, I would commission a bike storage unit that looked like a car so I could store my bike on the street and not worry about it being stolen. Also to show how ridiculous it is to feel entitled to store a large piece of personal property on public land.

The fact that the CVS app doesnt tell you when a prescription is not in stock and just gives some other random excuse is beyond frustrating. Anyone in Baltimore have a pharmacy that has Adderall in stock?

Off to the vet soon because Pinto ate a tampon yesterday and vomited said tampon up last night. Vomited again this morning, won't eat, and is lethargic. He is drinking water. He's probably fine since it's no longer in his stomach. But also I dont want to take a chance.

So, I want to apply to an SSA job that's open to the public. But that means there's a question about what EO I think is important and how I would uphold it. But I found one about SSA that I actually agree with/am okay with. So I guess I can apply.

I would rather be a muscle mommy than a pilates princess. But after continued knee pain and weakness, I went to PT, who told me it was a weak hip and basically all the exercises were pilates exercises. So right now, pilates it is. Hope to get back to lifting eventually.

My most consistent Boomer opinion is that I want a menu at a restaurant. I do not want to scam the code on my phone. I want to put my phone down while I'm out.

I think Mayor Scott has done a better job than he gets credit for. But I'd like to see hom go full Mamdani for the last two years before he runs for Mfume's seat. (My prediction)

Pinto has decided that on walks, he will just collapse down and lay there, sometimes rolling on his back and wagging his tail. He seems to enjoy it when I drag him along (harness, not collar). This has led to some weird looks and comments.

Signed up for a last minute paddle tonight because it is just too nice out to not take advantage of some time on the water.

i think one of the hidden keys to politics right now is "how can our side make sure that the 'trump is gonna kill a bunch of beautiful wild horses' story gets in front of the millions of otherwise apolitical consumers of social media horse-related content"

Everybody make sure you schedule your skin check. Had a precancerous spot in my face. A little liquid nitrogen fixed me up. But get this stuff early.

Why have I been putting off organizing my office/spare room for so long? I just transformed the space in a little over an hour. Still a lot of work to do, but holy shit, it's so much better.

Seeing all the headlines about The hottest summer on record every year is making me wonder jf I should be putting less money towards retirement and if I should just be spending more now.

I really need to start giving myself more credit. I paddleboard about 2x a week and dont really think of it as working out but kind of count it. But really thought I was kind of cheating the count. But o haven't been doing much else all summer.

It appears I have been forgiven for my act of grear betrayal and torture yesterday (He got a bath and then to add insult to injury, I would not let him us the brush as a chew toy)

Apparently, I have not done a home workout since I got Pinto. It was significantly more challenging. But we'll get there.

Im watching the He-Man movie and I kind if love it for many reasons. But above all, its well lit and you can see all the action. This movie is not dark. It's bright and fun and so watchable.

Shocked that group named after a group that oversaw an "ethnic cleansing" (GENOCIDE) is somehow not a progressive group. Shocked I tell you.

I just did the math. And since I turned 25. I've spent 11 of those 19 years not having a car. More than half of my adult life.

The older I get, the more I realize I need to be pickier about who I date. Like, I've date plenty of gun owners. But I realized that due to my history of mental illness, I'll never feel safe living on a home with a gun. So, there's no future, and I shouldn't even start that with someone.
