zero has been attending protests with me.

Gravity Defier

Not irrational at all: I was off work yesterday, serving as an election judge. Got in today at 1pm to over 100 new emails. It's spring break, so we're super busy. I'm on desk right away so staff could go visit another library. I'm running a paint program from the desk from 2-4pm. A slew of 3D prints...

So grateful to have all my beautiful trans friends in my life. You're joy and color and bravery.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility.

Gravity Defier

Today? People, a little bit.

I shouldn't, have no great reason for it, feel bad that I do...but I do.

Gravity Defier

Not me seeing my husband on this forum in the only form he would come back and post in and getting very excited, as though I don't see him in person every day.

Gravity Defier

What's the verdict?

Gravity Defier

My job.

Still this.

And also reality in general, at the moment.

Gravity Defier

Ratey, if you ever feel up to sharing pictures of anything as you prep, I'd be super excited to look at them. Just saying.

Gravity Defier

Dear You,

So, uh, that was a thing then.

If I didn't know better...

- Me

Gravity Defier

Having been on the receiving end of some pretty gnarly stuff, I disagree.

But to each their own.

Gravity Defier

I think the "f*** you" heard around the forum 11, 12 years ago made it much more clear to me there are vastly different value systems here but I tend to be of the "Don't start none, won't be none" crowd. There's a long history of Chris Rock antagonizing Jada, going back to 1997. ...

Gravity Defier

Not so random but putting it here anyway.

How about that Oscars slap?

Gravity Defier

Sounds like you're in a really healthy spot given your timeline. That's awesome! :)

Gravity Defier

Dear (specific) Yous, I'm not trying to suggest I react perfectly to the truth; you know I have a temper. You've seen it in all its glory. So I can understand why you would be hesitant. But when the emotions subside, I'd at least feel respected. Isn't that worth anything to you? I'm not an expert bu...

Gravity Defier

I wish I had a magical fix for you. I'm so sorry to see you're hurting and what you're going through.

Gravity Defier

Bob,

Vague posting but some people, you know who I mean, are really letting their whole asses hang out right now.

Gravity Defier

My job. Both the level of responsibility in general and the specifics.

Gravity Defier

I think the longer term more important thing is the better environment and better company part, so I am crossing all the things hoping that is true.

But I'm also thankful you're trying to make sure you can come.

Gravity Defier

Yay! I hope it's mostly smooth sailing from here.

Mostly because I only know one person who did a leaning towards traditional wedding who said it was entirely smooth sailing. If that can be you, too, I want that.

Gravity Defier

I hope the wedding show went well for you!

But yes, they are quite expensive.

Gravity Defier

to you both.

I miss my family, too.

And your work situation is s***.

Gravity Defier

me: I'm going to propose to you in October 2019. Then we're going to get married in October 2021. zero: Why a long engagement? I only want a year. me: Because Trump should be gone by then. Plus, it's our ten year anniversary. Oh my god. I got too excited and proposed 6 months early. Recent conversa...

Gravity Defier

Yay, they're here! Congratulations again to you both on the start of your lovely family.

Always happy to hear and see more.

Gravity Defier

Dear You, I'm not going to do what you did to me, because I've tried to learn from my mistakes and grow over the past decade. I've not always gotten it right but I'm trying. You seem content to hang onto hard feelings and s*** on my happiness in the pettiest of ways. That's fine. As I said, I won't ...

Gravity Defier

Ha, I've gotten quite skilled at ignoring unsolicited advice, but even better at not putting rhetorical stuff out in the first place. It was a genuine question. My parents are both vaccinated but I'm uncertain about some other family members who live with my mom. zero will not be two weeks past his ...

Gravity Defier

Bob, I haven't seen my parents since January 2020, and just barely at that. zero gets his first shot this Saturday, should be fully vaccinated by mid-May. I get my second on the 16th. I'm thinking I'll fly to go see them next month. Is that a bad idea? Not "Would people who've obviously stopped...

Gravity Defier

Got a sudden, strong urge to talk to zero here even though I talk to him all the damn time at home.

zeeeeeeero. Can you hear me?

Gravity Defier

Gravity Defier

I love seeing a little more life around these parts, lately. That has made me pretty happy, even if it's still minimal.

Gravity Defier

Yay! Glad you're one step closer to safety.

Gravity Defier

Dear Yous who celebrate,

Merry Christmas. I hope it's a bright spot in an otherwise s*** year.

Love,
Me

Gravity Defier

Dear You, Whenever I get particularly stressed (which seems like it happens often in this pandemic), I dream that zero is doing to me what you did to me and I wake up feeling hurt all over again. Thankfully, he wouldn't do it and has never shown any signs of being toxic the way that you did from the...

Gravity Defier

In a world where Trump is president and evil surrounds us, it's difficult to promote even fictional evil and hatred.

Gravity Defier

Hoping it works out to use this for our first dance.

These How Sweet it Is or Stand By Me covers are also contenders, but may end up as processional picks.

Other music must and will include boy bands, Missy Elliot, Motown, and all your favorite cheese from the 80s and 90s.

Gravity Defier

Only took a few months but I think I may have my engagement ring chosen. :) I have my eye on a venue, photographer, and caterer, too. Some music has been chosen. I hope it doesn't get too stressful down the road. It's going well enough right now. Engagement ring came in... oh, hmm, not sure when. C...
