I've now read 50 books in 2025 and I'm hoping to make it through a couple more before the year ends
I have read 25 books so far in 2025. That was my reading goal for the year; everything from here on out is gravy.

A player passing out drunk during session 0 of a D&D campaign is certainly one way to kill things before they start

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy?
Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy
Nephew: How???
Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine
Nephew: …
Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

I like that I’m seeing more news stories about measles with pictures of people with measles instead of pictures of doctors with cartoonishly large needles stabbing children.

a judge purporting to "correct" a years-old order by materially changing it, in a way that could result in a person's immediate detention and deportation, without notice or an opportunity to be heard, is some seriously autocratic shit
TL;DR: Abrego was released from custody ~4:45pm yesterday. DOJ gave him an order to show up at Baltimore ICE at 8am today, and then got a 7pm order from an immigration judge purporting to correct the original 2019 withholding-from-removal order so that they could remove him now. It's blocked.
BREAKING: At 7am ET, in response to the emergency overnight filing, Judge Xinis issued a TRO barring the Trump administration from re-detaining Abrego Garcia.

Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

Writing a physical letter and sending physical mail takes a bit more work in a way that feels really special to me now. I'm glad to know people worth the effort and executive function required to mail things.

Date night tonight was an episode of Sense8 (I'm watching for the first time with my partner who has seen it) immediately followed by watching BLeeM's Last Meal. Good stuff.

A very nice person sold me this perfume for $50 today (both of us fully aware of the price) because it didn't work for her skin chemistry and she wanted it to go to someone who would appreciate it properly. I will!

I don't get auras with my migraines and have only had one visual migraine ever (about a decade ago). This does make it harder for me to tell if a migraine is what's coming on until it actually hits 😔 but I'm getting better at it and I now have sumatriptan and a bunch of supplements for prevention

Thousands of sex workers are being swept up in targeted ICE raids of massage parlors and abducted off streets with the help of facial recognition. Law enforcement is using the threat of deportation to commit widespread sexual assault.
But the larger immigrant rights movement is shunning them.

I did end up shaving and wearing a dress. Maybe next year I'll go more butch.
I have to decide over the course of today whether to keep my scraggly little beard for the company party tonight or shave it. I'm feeling somewhat emotionally attached to it at the moment but I also haven't a clue what I'm going to wear
