All Over The Place
For the past three weeks, I’ve felt scattered in my plans and actions, and have been anxious. There are two main reasons: questioning some of my goals and being affected by the Supreme Court and other groups thinking they can regulate queer people out of existence.

One step at a time
So this is my bathroom right now: Ah, so much nicer. This side of the bathroom is decluttered, tidied, and cleaned. Most of that did not happen today; a big bout of decluttering happened a few months ago. And I have been able to keep the counter junk-free most of the time. It feels really…
