Sending you virtual mom hugs. I lost my mom to cancer when she was 66 and I was 40. I am now 55 with two kids of my own (20 and 16). I feel my mom’s loss all the time still, sometimes more than others. The loss never goes away but it will lessen the sting with time.

I was one of those warning how bad it would be and how Trump 2 would be much worse than anyone complacently assumed.

But even I didn’t have ‘cancel all foreign aid, including to kids with HIV & malaria’ and also ‘let the world’s richest man get access to our private data’ on my 2025 bingo card.

Cruelty is the point for the new regime. This mom of a trans child is going to fight for their rights and the rights of all trans kids and adults until the day I die. Even then I will do whatever haunting I can!

My parents had a birthday tradition where they would sneak my presents into my room as I slept so they would be the first thing I saw when I woke. I did the same for my kids but now my oldest is 20 and just wants cash so I Venmo’d him money so it would be the first thing he saw on his phone.

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

Also why can’t we edit a post? I made a typo and my choice is just to delete the whole post. Meh.

Hey all, I’m new here. I never used Twitter so cut me some slack as I get used to Bluesky. For the bots, here are some things I like: books, reading, fantasy and memoir novels, The Daily Show, dogs, Chappel Roan, and ice cream.
