MTG has been in Congress since 2020 & is resigning Jan 5, 2026. I just want to point out one thing.

She spent 5 years attacking the left & never feared for her life.

She spent 5 weeks mildly critiquing MAGA & the backlash is so severe she is resigning.

5 years vs 5 weeks. That says it all.

I’m a little worried about Zippy. He spent more time on my lap today than he did in the entirety of 2014. He stayed even after I told him I loved him. He usually runs away when I say that. Is he hanging with me because he’s elderly? Confused? Lost track of time?

There I was, when a hot guy walked in the door and I noticed his eyes meet mine β€” right as I put a piece of food in my mouth β€” food so hot it could’ve been served on the sun. I tried to look cool as tears ran down my face and I fumbled for the water. So yeah, there’s that.

As a gay man who lived through the AIDS epidemic, DADT/DOMA, and the marriage equality fight, I’ve known and felt bigotry and hatred on a deep and personal level. But what’s being shown to the immigrant community in Charlotte is on another level. Same hatred, but with masks and assault rifles.

Tonight, I found some plant-based bratwurst in the back of the freezer from last year. I ate half of one, and that was that. Now my stomach hurts. Wonder what tonight’s dreams will be.

Last night, I dreamed about a long ago coworker. In my dream he said β€œdo you want to get married I’ll take care of everything” and I said sure. He walked up to me with a paper and said it’s done, I’m going to bed and I got us a son. And there was a six year old. I said β€œwell done” and that was that.

Weird how many racists like to self-identify themselves as racists.

MTG: β€œ.. β€œI am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. .. The man I supported and helped get elected.”

Tonight, I watched Star Trek Into Darkness, and even though it was free, I’d still like my money back.

The first Friday without a Great British Bak Off episode just feels…I don’t know, empty I guess. I feel like I miss my friends.

Every day around 2 pm, Zippy wakes up from his Big Nap and comes for a cuddle. That sunbeam must’ve been extra warm today because he didn’t show up until 2:45. Cuddle accomplished, he’s now gone to have something to eat.

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

I can’t believe I’m about to enter this fray; however, I fully support Joyce Carol Oates’s use of the semi-colon. She makes up for the many instances in which one should have been used, and wasn’t.
