Pic of me with my surgery incision on my head after they removed as much of the tumor as they could.

I've had what I was told were tension headaches for 10+ years. A week ago they were intense and my GF noticed my behavior was a bit off. She took me to the ER and I had my first CT scan. The next day I was in surgery and diagnosed with high grade GBM. This is hard news and is impacting so much.

Omg, this guy shouldn’t be over this dept.

I found it just before my marriage ended as we were making progress. That show was a lifeline and hit me right in the feels. Waterworks happened often. Now I am in a Daimond Dogs mens' group that requires the show (and other therapy work) to join. Believe!

Utah voters, that tracks. Most of them are part of a massive high control religion and don't realize how indoctrinated they are. Becoming MAGA or at least adjacent to it is easy for Mormons.

What's the connection to WA state government besides location?

Sadly it sounds like so many members I knew/know, and my much younger self as well. I'm glad to be out of that frame of mind.

Columbia Wildlife Refuge, one of my favorite spring camping spots.

First campout of 2025. I'm going to need more of this to shore up my mental health this year.

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist

Trying to have a rational conversation about the state of the nation is so challenging. Some people are so stuck on the smallest grievances they had with Biden while the current guy has caused severe damage. My own Dad agrees, but he says "well, I don't think it will last". Sheesh.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.

They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.

The tariffs Trump is unleashing tomorrow on Mexico, Canada, and China — our biggest trading partners — are estimated to cost households an extra $1,250 annually.

@eve6.bsky.social they did a phenomenal job playing Inside Out. I loved my CD of that Album.

Had a great time watching local band "The Hipsters" play a solid set of covers from The Killers, Green Day, Eve 6, Good Charlotte, and more.

That's a power outage map for Puget Sound Energy. There are likely more outages covered by other utility companies.

It was a wild night here in Washington. My power has been out since 630pm yesterday and cell service is pretty terrible. But it's good to see some of my kids come out of their rooms to hang out together. 😁

Yes, the vague Pic is intentional for now. 😁

Or at least, I was part of a conversation about a week ago. Not sure if it was the same cousin(s) or not. But that response sounds about right. I've unfollowed some and may have to unfriend too.

I might have been part of that conversation. Oof, it was rough.
