Monday, meeting with my lawyer to prep for mediation. I’m checking all my notes and files.

Would you be afraid to come for supper if I told you one of my teachers was the Swedish Chef? Bork! Bork! Bork!

Spent half my day volunteering for a Trans Name Change “Clinic” and it was fantastic. Hopefully made a few connections

Due process & protected rights do sometimes allow the guilty to remain free, we certainly have seen that, but it also means that we have opportunities to catch mistakes so the innocent don’t get caught up.

By trying to redefine citizenship by fiat, my dad was a legal permanent resident married to a US citizen but would be hard to prove now. He’s been dead for years. We’re all at risk. If people can be seized & whisked to a foreign prison, I’d have no chance to prove my citizenship.

I grew up around earthquakes & this one is extremely powerful. Also recognize that that country probably doesn’t have the construction you’d see in places like Japan. youtu.be/fE8wF_A5IyA?...

I find it funny, I come out to someone new, and I get weepy even thinking about being able to drop the facade. And, I have a huge network of great people in my life.

I’m getting excited. I’ve applied to become a volunteer crisis line worker. With all the crazy, being another person answering those in crisis seems more important than ever. Interview went well and references seem solid. I can’t save the world, but I can help one person at a time and that adds up.

#earthquake USGS says 5.1 magnitude north of Greater Vancouver, I'll say it's my first time living in a high rise, it was interesting. I'm fine. No damage.

May have good news as we might be headed to arbitration as she may have figured out that her tactics were making things much worse for her.

I'm doing some more volunteering, & I was asked about my background in the realm of Classical Music & I remember my Dad's radio show he put on for decades. He began with "This is Matt _______ coming to you from San Francisco...." I had a troubled relation with Dad, but I still fondly recall that.

That Executive Order is what I was afraid of. My Nexus was in the mail when Canada Post went on strike, so I hope to see any day now. SSA has slow walked & that would be awkward if everything else is fixed. 1/

Good news today. One of the ex’s shenanigans has been dismissed & I’m incredibly relieved.

btw, came to my HS Graduating class (which was a LONG time ago) on our FB group and it's been an amazing love fest. I am a little surprised and very pleased.

I got it & it’s insane. But I’m the problem.

Maybe tomorrow or shortly thereafter I’ll get the next installment in the ex’s ongoing vendetta and I’m not looking forward to it. It will be vile ad hominem attacks. It will help me in the end, but it’s as fun a knee to the groin.

Since changing my name, one of my US banks, I sent them a form, they it sent back. I corrected & resubmitted. When I followed up they sent me a different form. I filled it out. When I followed up, they finally sent a replacement debit card, to an old address with my old name on it!

Super fun night. Helped to facilitate a weekly trans peer support on zoom and had 3 guests at my apartment as no one need be alone on Christmas Eve on my watch. Made a fabulous supper. And there was much rejoicing.

May you find peace.

Wish me luck tomorrow, hoping for a positive outcome.

It was a lovely day yesterday. Got to connect with a new friend.

I have wonderful news coming! While you wait, you can try singing along… the Brit’s have got the monarchy, the US has the money, but I know you wanna be…. youtu.be/mWQf13B8epw?...

A year ago yesterday, I was asked for a seperation & SO much change opened because of it. It was a crazy week as I packed up & left, but I don't regret what has come of it.

I know they won't, but it'd really be nice for press to examine and consider the timing and framing of a lot of his other announcements with this in mind

Really good talk with lawyer today. I hope we can get arbitration going and put an end to this.

For MSNBC I wrote about... *deep sigh* ...Lady Ballers, the ridiculous male fantasy movie recently released by the Daily Wire. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
