Eve

They would rather destroy remaining tests than send you more than they think you're allowed to have.

Might swap to weekly updates instead of daily ones. 😅 My love came up to visit and we spent most of the weekend catching up on quality time. Plus parties and meals with babes. Today, I acquired more art 🍎 I'm worried about my friends who work for the feds. Day 29, and the end of week 4 ✅️

I got bagels yesterday with my former roommate, who is trans and lives abroad. His wife is worried about him visiting the US. I want to make real plans to travel to them. Tonight I found a ton of joy at an amazing class with friends and beaux. Day 22 and 23 ✅️

Yesterday, I was exhausted from working all week while recovering from the flu. I saw friends for an hour and walked home in the snow. Today, I filed my taxes while watching commercials and the halftime show, in the hopes that I get my refund before they dismantle the IRS. Days 20 and 21 ✅️

After incessant coughing yesterday, my boss wouldn't let me come in today. Thank the gods. I am realizing how hazy everything was while I was sick. Not a great time to be so out of it. Or maybe it was? But I'm on the mend! Day 19 ✅️

I went into the office today for so many meetings. There's a lot of confusion and anxiety about what's to come. That feels intentional. I'm trying to stay balanced and focused. Day 18 ✅️

I’ve been ending my sentences about anything that happens more than a week or two in the future with “assuming the republic endures,” in case you were wondering how Americans are doing rn.

I'm just tired today. I think that's the point, so this is your reminder to rest. Day 17 ✅️

This.

My sister sent me an air purifier. My boo picked out the best humidifier - it arrived and I set it up today, while my bf helped troubleshoot. Then we discussed ways to resist and make a meaningful impact. I ate meals that my lover made me. We talked about difficult decisions. Day 16 ✅️

Yesterday I unplugged from everything outside of the arms of my love, who traveled just to nurse me back to health. Today I got back on the telework wagon, and tried to ignore the billionaire dictator who is overthrowing our government. Days 14 and 15 ✅️✅️

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Celebrated Imbolc by cleaning and joining my magical community online to set intentions for the year. My love arrived to make me soup and hug me. My friend brought me a milkshake. I survived January, and I acknowledge and mourn those who did not. Day 13 ✅️

In therapy, I talked about how hard it is to ask for and accept help, and got praised for doing it anyway. I read some headlines and talked to people on the frontlines. Then I baked cookies and took more flu meds. Day 12 ✅️

Today I asked for help, and received so much of it. I attended a really interesting class (virtually). Remembered that it's the lunar new year, and found it appropriate on many levels that this is the year of the snake. Day 11 ✅️

Yesterday, the horrors* persisted, but so did I.

The horrors are the flu. I have the flu, and no voice, but some PTO. That was Day 10 ✅️

right now we are at "first they came for transgender people"

Made it home and loved on my cat. Read about and stressed about them halting federal funding. Glad I spent the weekend filling up on my people and my needs, reminding myself who I am and what is most important in life. Ready to keep fighting. Day 9 ✅️

Amazing. Keep me posted!!

Yea!! I would love to. I'm thinking about planning a visit to Bmore, maybe this spring. When are you hoping to move? 🤩

Yesterday I splurged on a late check out, stopped at my favorite Baltimore coffee shop, and let my beau take care of me instead of rushing home. Day 8 ✅️

Started and ended the day the same way. Feeling very powerful, profoundly queer, and in love with my friends and myself. Day 7 ✅️

Folks keep coming back into my life in glorious ways. Grateful for growing and regrowing my community. Also, Ourgasm 🛠 Day 6 ✅️

Slept in. Unplugged. Landed. Arrived. ❄️🔥 Day 5✅️

OOO set. Day 4 ✅️

Huh.

I got a humidifier bc it may be 10° outside but it's 90° in this apartment. I read about responding to ICE. I watched a bishop speak truth to power. I noted which media outlets sidestepped calling out a Nazi salute. I heard a theory that a 12-hour service interruption was a server migration. Day 3 ✅️

I worked. I took my meds. I talked to my lovers. I fed my cat. I planned for an upcoming vacation. Day 2 ✅️

"federal workers are being asked to report to Trump's Office of Personnel Management if they suspect any DEI-related program has been renamed to obfuscate its purpose within 10 days or face “adverse consequences.”"
