I’ve been ruminating the last couple of days on this year’s birthday message, which mentioned, unprompted, the exact journey I’m on right now. Affirmations from the universe like this tell me that I’m on the right track. Also motherfuck I’m 32 lmao
co-star rarely fucks around, and this birthday message is not one of those times

Judge Cannon went and did it. She has dismissed the stolen documents case against Trump on Clarence Thomas’s (nonsense) appointments clause rationale.

The number one rule of the internet is DO NOT FUCK WITH FURRIES. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE.
Self-described “gay furry hackers” breached the Heritage Foundation in an attempt to undermine Project 2025, so of course an executive director at the right-wing think tank threatened them as “degenerate perverts” who would face God’s punishment and the FBI.

I’m in the endgame of training for the front splits. We’re talking about mere inches off the ground and about 10-12” from having my front leg extended all the way out. This endgame introduced me to an entirely new sensation last night: motherfucking snapping hip syndrome.

Why am I spilling this tea on the timeline? I’ve had an incredibly traumatic life—horrific, prolonged coming out process; abuse survivor; endured bullying from my job and my own family. These experiences reduced me, minimized me into a people pleaser. This is me celebrating my profound growth.
I was like, “Yeah.” People who said they wanted to be my friend ended up not doing the things that friends do during painful, vulnerable experiences. I then said I won’t go out of my way to be antagonistic, but choices were made and I clearly wasn’t it, so I’m also not going to be friendly either.

Okay so this person is part of my narcissist, “I jerk off to my own nudes” ex’s friend group. I asked a few of them if they’d like to remain friends after the breakup, to which a couple of them responded affirmatively. Admittedly, a mistake on my part but I was feeling vulnerable.
I’m in a “fuck around, find out” kinda mood so of course I accepted the request so I could ask why they bothered.

That disorienting, “what the fuck is happening” feeling when someone who ghosted you mysteriously wants to add you on your social media 🤪

Having just finished the second season, it’s bar none the best entry in the entire Star Trek narrative. No notes, no complaints; it was thoroughly enjoyable, hopeful, joyful. Please, please let’s have more.
Star Trek Prodigy is just so fucking good.

The Heritage Foundation is absolutely making overt terrorist threats and everyone you know needs to be aware of this.
Somebody else pointed earlier that the "bloodless if the leftists allow" (paraphrasing) bullshit sentence, is a clear terrorist threat and should probably be called like this.

Trump’s re-election will mean four hideous years of the GOP playing constant Civil War Chicken at best - as this Heritage Foundation ghoul made clear - and actual civil war at worst. Avoiding that bloody nightmare is a pretty damn good reason to suck it up and vote for Biden.

Soft launching the name change starting here.
How’s the name “Daniel Duke Windsor” sound for my legal name? I’m thinking of changing it and this is the nickname I’ve forged into an identity in and of itself.

I’ve lived my entire 32 years feeling merely tolerated by folks allegedly closest to me. Not having those people enthusiastically love you as they should can and will fuck you up.

Sorry for the dirty delete but I’m not feeling good about myself after a weekend of family drama.
