Getting accommodations after my brain abscess was quite an effort. It's especially hard for those of us with invisible disabilities. Some days I can handle "normal" amounts of activity but many days I can't.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

March is Women's History Month. From our founding 1776 statement that "All men are created equal," wholly ignoring women, to the ERA still not law in 2025—one fact remains—men continue to deny women equal justice.

Sometimes grief takes the form of a daughter playing her father's Beatles records (yes, vinyl) then working her way up to her father's recordings from the mid-70s when she was a little girl. I always found it cool that Dad had been in a band and there are recordings.

Being middle aged during these times is wild because it’s like, will I die of a preventable disease, will I die as a casualty in WW3, or will I live long enough to die when humankind gets eradicated by climate change?

I appreciate the folks who click like on my posts when I'm just expressing what's going on for me. Thank you for acknowledging me in this parasocial world we live in. (I feel it can be a bonus to having usual offline-world friendships.)

I am so exhausted from a week of going through my Dad's things, having his funeral and getting started as best we can on his estate. I will be so happy to go home tomorrow. I'm at the pt of exhaustion where I'm worried I'll have a seizure.

Dad's funeral is today. I've learned that cutting my mother out of my life is still the best choice I ever made. She was bleeding my father dry. She has a lot to gain from his death, but she's on her own after that. She better learn to handle her finances right quick. I won't be helping her.

Congressperson John Lewis, whose ‘good trouble’ they love to quote so much, was arrested 45 times in his life. The last was in 2013 protesting for immigrants, during the Obama presidency.

Dad's life insurance (admittedly not a huge amount) was left to my fucking mother. He divorced her, he endured over 30 years of marriage to her and still felt guilty about it. I will have to make contact with her over this once I'm legally named administrator of his estate. FML.

Anybody who works closely with young people, anybody who's had cause to visit a psychiatric unit, knows that the EOs are going to result in dead kids. That's not a maybe. That's a fact. And these fucking killers know it; want it. Whatever happens, let us never forget that.

Elon is going off on a tirade against the judge who enjoined DOGE from accessing sensitive systems. Make no mistake, this is an attempt to incite threats and violence against the judge and intimidate the judiciary as a whole.

I leave tomorrow AM to go where Dad was living. I have to start going through his things, start the process of being named administrator of his estate, and then, on Tuesday, see him one last time, celebrate his life, and commit his remains to the grave. It's become very real again. I miss him.

I went from researching care homes this afternoon, to getting a call from my dad's friends that they couldn't get him to answer the phone or come to his door, to getting a call back the the police had to break in, and they found him dead on the floor. Why did my awesome parent have to die first?

Happy Black History Month. Well adjusted and sensible white people don't feel threatened by celebrating the accomplishments of black citizens in the United States. I look forward to learning about great black people over the course of this month.

In my self-defense classes I focus on how most people are socially conditioned to follow the norms of a civilized, polite society — and there is a MENTAL SHIFT required to use violence to defend from violence. I'm reminded of this while watching our elected officials dithering and delaying. 1/
