And by 'solace' I mean dispare.

Yeah...I feel like we REALLY tried with some, but I'm just so disappointed rn. There's hope though, we're proof!

Yeah, I did. I joined bluesky shortly after but decided that I should focus on other things instead of wasting time arguing with *those ppl* on X. But I miss being able to rant and share triumphs in the ether of the internet.

I wish it didn't feel like such a long game and that I didn't relish throwing their beliefs back in their faces... I'm striving to learn the art of the soft throw now. (sportsball or blanket reference? Who knows!?) lol

Things are good, my friend. I hope you're well, I'm so glad we reconnected! I'm looking forward to sharing this space with you! ✊

Yes! I literally told my dad that when he asked where my morals come from now. I said he taught me to do what is right and that's what I'm doing. Let the consequences follow!

I'm the luckiest! ♥️ You too! We gotta find some time to catch up soon!

Dude. (heyyy!!!) This is awesome, thanks!

Physically In, Mentally Out. :) Like my wife who patiently waited 10 years for me to finally get it.

I hit post too soon! About me: on Twitter since 2007, it was a place to shout into the ether about things, then I found support, friends, empathy, and so many really cool ppl. Finally left with the XTurd's endorsement. We'll see how this goes, I'm stoked to reconnect and hear what you have to say ❤️👊

They're both above 80 and steeped in religion intertwined w/ politics. The life they lived was never challenged where it counts. It sucks and hurts,because they won't be around long, but at the same time it's OK because it is what it is and I'm doing what is right, like they taught me.

It's me. I'm the problem. :) Trump issues, all the talking points. They dead name my trans niece and nephew, think 'blacks and gays' don't deserve a month 'for themselves', etc. I love them. I believe they taught me to be a good person but ...

I haven't talked to my parents since July :(
