Like what with all the fascism going on, Trump teasing a third term, and even now passing a law to be able to deport U.S. Citizens. I can’t imagine people taking these threats lightly. So basically, how are you holding up?

    I’ve got two trans friends who are a lot younger than me and they’ve both called me dad at this point, which I’ve been thriving on. I’m teaching one to drive, and I’m helping the other fix her house up. Feels good man.

    This has given me the somewhat unique experience of knowing how it feels when your kids are in danger without technically having any kids. I do NOT like this. I’ve cried, screamed, panicked, and lost sleep. I’m getting a lot of relief from protesting and fighting back, but it hurts a lot.
