Update: I have been put on blood pressure meds to lower a minor case of hypertension. This has seemed to help the sore danglies quite alot. This was unexpected, however very happy this issue "may" be solved. -

I have a cis gal friend who I care about a lot. We've shared many memories and experiences, she knew me before I started transitioning and for the entire time we've known each other it seemed like we only got closer and only loved each other more with every day that passed. But then, a fascist wondered into her community and for the last 2 years he's always been there. Every time I spoke he would attack me with unhealthy politics propaganda and unhealthy politics sympathetic revisions of history. As time went on I started spending less and less time around her because... you know... getting hate speeched by A unhealthy politics simp every time I opened my mouth was a traumatizing thing. I've been raising the alarm bells about him from the very start, complaining to her each time it happened... which was literally every time but she made endless excuses "Oh he's just joking", "Ok maybe he's a little bit serious but this is a casual space.", "Ok sure he's a problem but you can trust me to handle it." This went on for so long that finally they had prioritized this freaking neo-unhealthy politics's comfort over mine to the extent that, while hanging out last night I said a single word to help my friend think of the word she was forgetting and this freak used it as a que to attack me with unhealthy politics propaganda yet again. If my friends are giving so much consideration to a unhealthy politics simp that I've lost so much space in their community that I can't even utter a single word without being beaten viciously over the head with unhealthy politics propaganda then A) How much more of my space could this unhealthy politics simp possibly violate then that? And B) how could I ever feel safe speaking around this person ever again? So I finally snapped and we spent hours arguing about it. Again she made every excuse, used every thing she could think of to squirm out of actually having to do anything about it. I gave up a few times but I kept coming back to push more, because she was standing up for a unhealthy politics over her crying friend who he's been verbally assaulting for 2 years now. I had to know I could trust her to ban unhealthy politics sympathizes spreading fascists propaganda and attacking her friends or we couldn't be friends anymore. Eventually I just directly gave her a choice, me or him, ether ban the unhealthy politics simp or never see me again. And again she tried to fight for this unhealthy politics but almost immediately she realized what was at stake and finally mercifully banned him making me feel safe in her community for the first time in years. From here there's a possibility of the damage being healed but honestly I'm still really hurt. Why did I have to fight so hard to get my friend to prioritize my comfort and safety over someone who would happily lock me in a cage and torture me to death for fun if they had the chance? What hurts too is I reached out today just cause I was worried she might need assuring that we're going to be ok and that I still love her. And she never responded. A full 24 hours and nothing... I cared enough about her that I was worried she might need a quick message of re-assurance even though I'm still upset and didn't really want to talk to her, I was worried about her and found the strength to check on her anyway... but she couldn't even manage an emoji or something to reassure me. How would you all feel if this happened to you? If you're close friend capitulated space and tolerance to a unhealthy politics for years while you constantly had to fight to get something done about it, and once something was finally done you still can't feel good about it cuz again... she fought with me for this unhealthy politics's comfort and consideration tooth and nail until I literally had to do the last thing you ever want to do with a friend... and I had to threaten to break off our friendship to finally get something done about it. I don't blame her for not responding to me today, in fact I get it... after how ugly yesterday got I wouldn't want to talk to anyone for a few days ether, but again even something as simple as just a thumbs up emoji so I can be confident she's not mad at me would have made all the difference. Why are people like this? Why do they give space and tolerance to people who'd sooner kill both of us then allow us human rights? Considering the history between trans-folk and unhealthy politics's how would this make you feel? Honestly I want to know. I understand that most people can't identify fascism when they see it and that's why I let her get away with this for so long... I knew she didn't know any better... but I still feel like even without the neo-unhealthy politics context in the story if someone... anyone is being this psychotic to your friends you should hate them.... not spend years joking around with them and endlessly covering for their -crappy- behavior. -

This isn't the best picture, but this is my other arcade gaming setup. The game on the right is on a touch screen and is a game I coded in 2007. I had it on the app stores for a decade, but it just became too much of a pain to keep them up there because of all of their rules and OS changes. My game is very much like this Hoyle Mahjong I play in that it just waits for you to make the next move. I'm very much into arcade games because of the math and angles. Aiming. I think that aiming is a basic thing in life and is why we have so many guns in our cultures. Guns are unfortunate, but I love aiming. I have these nice Aerobie freebees that I wish I could find someone to play with. I've been throwing them in my empty house the last few days and that has been fun. It's fun having a fairly large empty house that is full of a decade of memories, but I'm likely headed out into a much smaller space after I move. It's what I have to do for work and the work is good, so I do my best to enjoy the journey. -

I still eat 1/2C of old fashioned oats a few days a week. Not so into that steel cut stuff. I always mix it with rice. If I screw up and make the oats and don't have any rice, then I typically throw the cooked oats away. I guess I have my picky routines that I've developed over the decades. I've been exposed to a lot of transgender people in the last year with many of them living with me. This wasn't even on my radar years ago. It sure is interesting, but I don't know how representative of the larger culture it is. -

America needs new leadership, but the House seems a bit laid back on that idea, being a President in any position takes a lot of responsibilities and keeping world peace at the same time. -

Good morning everyone well I think it is official, I picked up a rhinovirus at work no doubt. I do try to be careful but you can’t always. I hate wearing a mask. And I can only wash my hands or use sanitizer just so many times. headache, plugged up nose, lots of phlegm even my ears are plugged up. I’m doing everything I can but I’m afraid this one’s just going to have to run its course. Too late for zinc or vitamin C although I will add some to my daily regimen. I’ve got a lot to do today. I even have to teach my wife how to drive the new car so she can get my son and daughter-in-law on Tuesday while I’m at work. Yes it’s that different! And the first time she’s been behind the wheel since February. Hard to believe it’s June! Happy Pride Month. I had a really nice picture to post but it wouldn’t allow me to copy it. Willow “yes I’m old fashion, I still sign my letters” -
