I did a thing this afternoon. Honestly, have no idea how I went. Felt good about it, but I’ve learned never to get my hopes up.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

For various personal reasons I’m all kinds of intersectional even one step back from the more obvious fact I’m a 50 year old white guy. The kind of confidence based on absolutely nothing these men possess is utterly baffling. (fwiw, rapists belong in prison, which should be a fundamental fact)

When you make a first class joke about a restaurant and it gets zero traction, and you don’t know if you utterly misjudged the audience and now you are a social pariah, or if it’s just a timezone thing and everyone’s asleep.

When I was about 20, I was invited to join a touring group of strippers - male & female (and tbh I can’t remember how that came about). I didn’t. I took on more responsibility and more socially acceptable roles, and here I am. I’m increasingly wondering where the other me that said yes ended up.

Big fan of burying parts of Trump in the Gulf of Mexico and parts in Lake Ontario. You know the medieval kings would’ve done it that way. Treat him like a deposed Monarch, keep the original names…don’t even care if he’s dead or not when he gets his water burial, tbh.

Ok. <Breathes>. I’m bi. Always have been, but at 50, finally happy to admit it to myself. I’d always been an ally, then met my non-binary partner - and discovered that meant a queer relationship. None of those things caused the world to fall in. So, 1 + 1 + many others = bi. So there we go.

Today’s thoughts regarding no longer being a nurse is the lack of visible achievement inherent in my career. Even a brickie gets to see a wall built, and last. I’m sure I made a difference, somewhere, to someone. But my memory of it is that most of that difference was end of life cares.

Need to do an age check online for a thing. There’s directions for what to do, but you can’t wear glasses, so I can’t see them, and anytime I put them on to see it pauses and changes the direction to tell me to remove my hand. So that doesn’t work.
