Making enough space to walk the line of maintaining mental health while not losing touch with current events through following NBA/NHL playoffs Easier to do with Warriors having a legit shot & also getting juiced for Stanley Cup playoffs in Canada last few weeks (and yes they are the BEST playoffs)

Back from my 2 week excursion to Canada. Had a lot of fun, though I got sick the last five days of the trip. Was it because I drank a bit too much one night? Or because I subconsciously knew my time in a safe space would be coming to an end? Who knows...all I know's I definitely plan on returning

Went to the Ottawa-Montreal (NHL) game tonight. Interesting to see how many Canadiens fans were here in Ottawa. Also interesting to see my sister talk up and then get the number of/make out with the Canadiens fan sitting next to her but hey…that’s the magic of Ottawa for you

Just left Toronto, on our way to Ottawa for a couple days before heading to QC and Montreal. Having a lovely time but after talking in person with immigration agent it still looks unlikely I’ll be able to immigrate here anytime soon (if ever) unless it gets demonstrably worse for trans people in USA

Made it to Canada! LAX-YYZ, no questions about my transness, no plane crashes, got through customs incredibly fast. Gonna be traveling around Ontario/Quebec for two weeks, recommendations on things to do are most welcome (going to 2 hockey games and a Raptors game and staying at Chateau Frontenac).

I like "Hands Off": both as "hands off my social security!" etc. and also to root the movement in non-violence. I also wouldn't be surprised if they were infiltrated by bad faith actors who pose as protesters at first and then get violent so then MSM can start denigrating them. But so far, so good

Didn't know about a few of these, most disappointed in seeing the Mannings and Kelsey Grammer (though I did know he was a Republican so not that surprising)

Cory Booker needs to come out with a fitness book I know that he was fueled by a lot of counter-insurgence energy, but that's still an impressive feat of stamina he pulled off with his record-setting performance. Whether Clif bars, or Gatorade...there's a potential endorsement deal there somewhere

People talk about an abundance vs. scarcity model. In many ways, I try to lean toward abundance if possible. But right now, when it comes to mental health: We're at a scarcity

I'm sad Just...sad. I don't see how else not to be with everything going on. I try to stay inspired, I really honestly do... But it's just so f***in hard

For something a little lighter... I join the Time Pals podcast on their newest episode where we re-choose Best Picture winners/nominees from 2001-2011. They had so much content it's going to be a two-parter; part 1 is out now, part 2 out soon! beacons.ai/timepalspodc...

This might be the tipping point. Democratic leaders have something to sink their teeth into. The clear lies from Trump & Co. are easily discernible. Whether or not any actual change happens (eg Hegseth/Waltz being dismissed) will be very telling. Thank God for advanced technology in a time like this

Here’s my ask of you today: I want you to engage with EVERY article/post you see about Signalgate. Like, comment, share. Every one. The reason why the media kept talking about Hillary’s emails was because every story & post about it got massive engagement. Sound good?

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

The ability to detach from what's going on right now is a privilege. Those without that privilege are having to make really tough decisions, compromising personal health/wealth, and actively working toward survival. Those w/ privilege (esp. those who've always had it) can never truly understand.

Been having a hard time getting motivated for things. Like...anything. One thing that I am looking forward to is a trip to Canada in April. Visiting Ontario/Quebec/BC. If anyone has suggestions of things to do while I'm there lmk, already planning multiple hockey games & a stay at Chateau Frontenac.

Preparing to be on a podcast where I have to look at best picture Oscar nominees 2001-2011 & replace the winner/nominees with more deserving films. Got me thinking...why don't any of the awards have an "actor of the year" award? Like, not for one project, but a culmination of a year's worth of work?

Haven't been inspired much recently to post. Felt so now in wake of recent budget vote: I don't agree with what Schumer/Gillibrand/Fetterman/ did. I think that's kowtowing. But I also understand. I don't think it makes them evil, I think it makes them weak. And I'm here to attack evil, not the weak.

As a writer, I have to say I would not personally choose to piss off a huge number of people across the country before going on a book tour but that’s just me I guess

Anyone else here make music that, while it doesn't get radio play, actually inspires you? Like you, yourself, get inspired while listening to your own music? I hope so. When I'm feeling down, I listen to some of my songs and it provides with me a sense of joy & accomplishment I can't find otherwise.
