The Newsroom S1E10 references a woman at risk of being disenfranchised by GOP Voter ID laws. The ep. covers the time period of 8/1/2011 to 8/8/2011. Will says that the GOP is basically full of shit because in the previous national election, there were 86 cases. Some things never change. #VoteBlue

I decided to play an Ella Red album at 05:30 while I was getting ready for the day today. It is now almost 22:30 now and I just let Apple Music do its thing. I don't know what genre this would be, but this is the majority of artists for the last 17 hours. I might need to just build a playlist off it

Dear app devs, if you make ads for your app, and force sound, I hope you develop holes in the toes of your favorite socks. May you randomly accidentally grab the salt instead of the sugar when prepping your coffee. May the errant semicolon in your code be obscured by the dust on your screen.

Just kidding. I left the event so I could go home and cry in private. Depression is an asshole.

Best part about working at an outdoor festival on a rainy day is… “what tears? It’s just raining…”

Current status: Dealing with depression and adjusting to new meds. Roommate/BFF isn’t really talking to me (she has good reasons). Current coping skill: Eating brunch at the bar, drinking a Hamms, and watching Rescue Rangers with the bartender. #DepressionSucks

I am 100% blaming #triviaweekend for the fact that I am at a Bluegrass Music festival. Thanks, @kvsc.org

And… interactions with my best friend have caused me to silently cry in the bar in the last 7 days. I’m not sure she actually likes me when other people are present.

Dear North Star Dawn PAC. I was not going to vote for @repangiecraig.bsky.social in the primary, but even if I hadn't decided already, you putting attack ads in cell phone apps would have done it. Get PAC money out of politics.

I just watched the absolute hatchet job of a director's cut that is "Payback: Straight Up". I was not aware of the fact that it was practice to remove every entertaining part of a movie for its director's cut.

There is no more of a boss move than sitting at the bar and, in the middle of a conversation with a new person, taking your mood stabilizer, testosterone suppressant, and progesterone without breaking eye contact.

Dear NFL. In their first ever attempt, FIFA showed what a halftime performance should be. Time for you to do better.

Writing Prompt fun tonight! I asked for a single sentence prompt from friends….

I'm doing prompted fiction writing tonight. One challenged me with "Even though they had learned the secrets of Nercromancy, they still had to get groceries" and it may have led to my favorite story opening I've ever written.

You can tell a lot about music fans based on their reaction to the words “Yo, VIP, let’s kick it” after a musical intro.

In response to yesterday’s Mediocre Court decision, I thought I would share my thoughts: I was asked if I, as a trans woman, was afraid of what might be coming. I’m not scared, I’m angry. I am ready and willing to fight for my right to exist as a trans woman. 1/?

The humorous aspect of a family reunion where people are introducing themselves to me as if they’ve never met me.

The weight of anxiety is huge right now. I have a family reunion to go to and there are family members that I am certain don’t want me to show us as me. They want me to put the costume of masculinity back on. The one I was basically forced to wear by society.

If anyone decides to propose to me some day, they should not ask my blood family for permission… they should have to ask my best friend and my bartender. They’ll weed out the weak.

Three squad cars of white Hopkins MN cops were just trying to kettle a group of middle school to early high school black kids. On fucking JUNETEENTH. Their crime? Leaving the house party they’d been at and walking in a group. Minnesota might be better than avg, but we’ve got a long way to go.

I just wrote two blurbs about books I want to write. They say “write what you know”, so one of them is a modern day semi-autobiographical fictional novel about a trans woman who grew up in a religious, conservative politician’s household. The 2nd is a queer dystopian sci-fi novel set in the 2200’s

If I ever release an album, the cover will be similar

At what point is it okay to start marking all my hard liquor bottles with the price and price/shot since my roomie's ...partner... is drinking all of it? Like, literally drank my entire bottle of Grand Marnier since Monday. Oh, and he's supposedly spending time here to "dry out"

Dear @minnesotafrost.com, Great season, y’all. Montreal may have won this year, but we’ll hang our 3rd banner at the end of next season. Until then, pour yourselves a beverage and revel in the fact that our ladies regularly accomplish what men players in this MN rarely do: win championships.

Watching @minnesotafrost.com in game 5. 80% of TVs here are tuned to the Wolves game. Still getting complaints about the Frost game on tv. Should have gone to A Bar of Their Own.

I arrived at the bar a little over an hour ago. I started journaling. 4 handwritten pages and counting. This place is super safe and welcoming. They’re just letting me do my thing and keeping my glass full. Welcome to introspective Delia

The absolute gall of puking in the bathroom sink (in the only bathroom in the house) of the house you are a guest in and not cleaning up after yourself. No, not a child. No, not someone who is ill with a virus. Just a selfish alcoholic.

I exited the closet. I tore the closet door off. I threw out all my old boy costumes. I built a shrine to the woman I’ve always been. Fuck this SCOTUS, Fuck this POTUS, this trans woman isn’t willing to merely survive, she’s gonna fucking THRIVE. also, fuck ICE, just cause.

I reiterate: The deity who decided we could either breathe or ugly cry (but not both) should be condemned to a lifetime of stepping on milled-metal legos.
