Most of us are destined to overcome challenges. For some we have an uphill battle starting the day we are born.
For my daughter I was that challenge. She was a healthy beautiful baby born to a fourteen year old mom. I was a emancipated minor child trying to adult in a world of intolerance.
Somethings never change.
I couldn't legally drive or work, and was determined to avoid any kind of financial assistance that might become an excuse to take her away.
Together we grew up.
I can't put into words how I feel about the person she became.
Today I took our compost to her house. I admired the large new pride flag that they now hang in a window so it doesn't dissappear. I toured her garden that I haven't seen in a month and felt a million good feelings because she turned out to be a kind, talented and compassionate person who doesn't even know how to hate.
My reason to be thankful today.
Flowers are from her garden.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather have an entire undocumented immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than a white supremacist or a racist MAGA lunatic any day of the week.

Don't complain about billionaires and corporations while still using their social media platforms. You're not helping. You're just making them richer.

Hard to argue with that.

I rewatched the LOTR extended cut for the first time in quite a few years and now I am thinking about how all those Silicon Valley fascists who name their startups after cool swords utterly missed the central thesis that cool guys with cool swords give into the corrupting temptation of power at the drop of a hat and only weed-smoking barefoot hippies were able to get the job done

I've only spoken to my father twice in the last 10+ years, neither of which was particularly enjoyable.

Becoming a dad myself has given me a different perspective on my own father. He was dealt a very shitty hand in life, and while I don't condone his many mistakes, I've come to appreciate what he was able to accomplish with the lot he was given. I've had so many more advantages and I've done my best to not take them for granted.

May your sins be your own.

Bad guys called "ICE" in a society struggling with Global Warming is some bullshit writing

My timeline has fewer posts than ever. Wonder where everyone went? Must be some kind of craft fair because all of the poster board is sold out at Staples.

Showing your child affection improves their mental and physical well-being, increases brain development, and might even one day save the American taxpayers forty-five million dollars.

The joy one feels whilst eating the penultimate pancake, knowing that there is yet another to come, is balanced in equal measure by the despair at the realization that there is but one more remaining.

It must be scary to be in the National Guard or active duty military and be asked to fight against your fellow citizens. If you're in this situation, you can call the GI Rights Hotline at 1-877-447-4487 to get knowledgeable and confidential answers to your questions.
