| Rocket and new baby, born 7.8.2025 |
I'm trying to "clean slate" my inboxes and posts because with Pride this week and Comic-Con next week, my email volume has already tripled. So while I know there's so much news coming at us all the time, I'm just not gonna cover every stupid thing done by this administration. I just can't. It's a lot. And we're all just trying to get by and balance all the terrible things happening. The cruelty is the point and it's just mind-blowing. So let's just move forward.
San Diego is especially beautiful this time of year, even with the occasional heat waves, so let's just enjoy our City and put one foot in front of the other and try to keep finding our personal joy.
Stay safe out there. Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
