We were supposed to be going out of town for your cousin's wedding. This was the last plan we had together. Maybe you have a date and aren't sitting at the single table or next to your dad and sister by yourself.

Pretty sure you have a new girlfriend. I really think you are back with your former girlfriend. I shouldn't care, but I do, and I hate that I do.

All I can think.of is how much I empathize with Evelyn in Everything Every Where all at Once. I can't imagine that.there is a worse life outcome for me than where I am at. Maybe my vision board is in the attic Dorian Gray style.

OMG. If one more person tells me that friends or clubs will fill the gaping void left by my former romantic partner I am going to scream. Friends do not fill the intimacy void. To tell me they do is f*cking insanity.

Do you know how much energy small talk takes? Do you know how hard it is to always answer people's questions with no? Are you married? Do you have a partner? Do you have kids? No, no, and no.

Today was your birthday. It took all my will power not to call or text or drop off a gift. This time last year we were celebrating your 50th. I want so badly to ask your sister how you are doing, but I won't. She likely wouldn't know any how. The songs about heart break make sense to me now.

Today is the first day I haven't felt sad or depress for 3.5 months. There are a lot of firsts coming up that I am trying to build up resilience to cope.

"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS

Madison WI folks, Altim Bakery and Grill in University Ave is now open. Good food at reasonable prices. Mainly Middle Eastern. Immigrant/refugee owned and managed. Stick a finger in ICE's eye and give them some business.

Being mansplained to by someone who lives in another state about what is happening in YOUR city and state. I was here living in central Minneapolis in 2020 and know the difference between what happened then and the response now. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Quick update on the political situation in the US: the government is led by a billionaire pedophile who believes he can murder American citizens with impunity. Seems bad!

@metrotransitmn.bsky.social your most recent schedule adjustment sucks. You made my commute take longer because you adjusted the blue line by a couple minutes and now taking the 7 from 34th and 51st misses the train as it arrives the same time as the train. This is ridiculous. Fix this! #upsetrider

And then you decided to run trst trains during work hours today delaying the next train. So instead of waitin the cold for 12 minutes it was 17 minutes. Unbelievable.
