8 years ago we picked up the sweetest boy in the whole world. Today, he takes up far more of my lap space and is full of love and sneaky smooches.

Happy gotcha day to my best friend πŸ’™

I'm always in awe at the brilliance and layers contained in each of the fever dreams he's written.

I reported him for anti-trans speech and blocked. I don't expect it will do anything other than make me feel better for 30 seconds.

13 years, Mr. Schommer.

13 years for 2 kids who were never supposed to make it.

Years and years of laughs and love, and damn, did I need you today.

So thankful to be paving our own way and having a hell of a great time while we do it. Thanks for being my best friend πŸ’œ

May these demonstrations not only unite us in anger against a corrupt government, but also provide us an opportunity to celebrate what this country was, is, and might yet become.

Go in peace and have an awesome day.

456 pages in and I think this is where this book will actually break me. I've teared up a few times, but I feel a full-on cry is just around the corner...

⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.
