For those following, I decided to go. My best friend came from out of town for it so I knew I'd have someone to sit with, which felt safe. A few people approached me and we had nice conversations. Others made eye contact and said nothing. Others didn't seem to notice or recognize me. All was well.
Jordan Emmons@joremmons.bsky.social · 3w agoThoughts on attending a funeral at a church that hurt you? I haven't been in my old church since 2021. Last time I was there was a funeral, and I had a panic attack. A pastor I always liked lost his wife. I'd like to support him and his daughter, who is my age. I just don't know if I can go.
There's a house I drive by that often has a big fluffy white dog in the yard, but today I drove by and there was a big fluffy white CAT in the yard and I don't know what's true anymore

People in my life are moving and dying and Tonks had to go to the emergency vet yesterday AND I found out this morning that my favorite grilled cheese restaurant is closing, so if He could just kick the bucket real quick that would be SOLID
Just learned my first childhood friend died suddenly. She was 34 and left behind two kids (3 and 1.) Found out in the same hour that the wife of a dear pastor friend is on her deathbed, too. They'd been together 40 years. None of us can know our numbered days. Love your people while you can. ❤️
I'm seeing a lot of "ONCE AGAIN, Dems don't get to pick their candidate and are stuck with whoever the establishment chooses" And like, yeah, that's kind of what happens when you vote for a candidate who made excuses about his n*zi tattoos and then are shocked that he also abused women
Two of our dearest couple-friends are moving out of state this month, so don't mind me if my abandonment complex kicks in REAL GOOD
Remember in 2017 when my former pastor told me he wanted our church to be "a safe place for white supremacists" and I told him if we didn't call out Christian Nationalism things were going to get much worse, and he never spoke to me again? Thinking about that for no reason whatsoever.
it was literature pub quiz night and our team name "flowers for algae gone" didn't get a single laugh, this isn't the country i grew up in
This morning Tyler had what looked like dried blood on his back. He scraped it, found no wound, shrugged it off. Tonight I pulled back the sheets to get in bed and found them *covered in melted chocolate chips* This is the story of how I ended up changing the sheets at 11:30pm
Hey USA, I just traveled to Canada and had the best experience in an all-gender restroom where I got to pee in complete privacy and washed my hands next to a man without incident because no one is weird or in fear of non-existent attacks from trans folks. We too could have this! Happy Pride 🏳️🌈
Thinking about why women might not want to use a product that has forced itself into every software interface to confidently shout things that are wrong
blair@blairaf.com · 2mo agoOne of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?
In this episode of "ADHD Making Jordan Mad," the thing I've been putting off for a week and a half took 15 minutes to complete. 😑
Weeks like this make me really wish I still was in therapy, then I remember my therapist ghosted me and I never want to go to therapy again lol I'm fine
"IUD removal/replacement is way easier than the first time" they said dearest gentle reader, it was not (details below, don't read if you don't want tmi) (1/5)
Saw TDWP2 yesterday and I'm here to say that everyone who criticized it was wrong in every possible way, and if you don't like it you are joyless.
I remember a time when "crypto-fascist" used to mean a fascist hiding their bigotry. Now it means a fascist, open about their bigotry, and funded by crypto.
I socialized with people for 8 consecutive hours today, please clap
Not just a paint splash - that's Yves Klein blue. (Something something "not just blue, not turquoise, not even lapis, etc.")

I'm supposed to find out tomorrow about two jobs I interviewed for. In discussing pros and cons with my mom, she asked "have you factored kids into the equation? Maternity leave? Is that something you two have talked about?" Anyway, I'm getting my IUD replaced in two weeks.
Today I spray-painted a shelf, organized items onto said shelf, painted a wall, painted a closet, and thought I'd still have energy to sand + touch-up paint another wall *and* mount a shelving unit and a drying rack? The ADHD ambition was wild today
once again, it is great that the president is a klan-level racist

Love the salon that does my hair color. Two gay guys are behind me LOUDLY ranting about Erika Kirk. There's a hairless cat mascot. It's a vibe.
I think Franklin Graham is a nepo-baby charlatan who weaponizes the Bible to advance his political agenda.
