I am thankful (or whatever) for…

• My wife, who makes me happy in more ways than I can possibly ever articulate
• Out cat, Lefty, who at the now-tender age of 16 is loyal and also driving me crazy
• Our dog, Riley, who is just such a good boy
• Aikido – which reminds me to try to be a better person every day
• Skateboarding – without which I’d be a very different person
• Libraries – which gave me a career I am proud of
• My gaming group – surely the best group ever and really my closest friends
• Growing up in a peaceful home that provided security and love
• Medical science for saving my wife’s life
• My community, which is diverse and wonderful
• My extended family
• My extended in-law family
• My situation in life, most of which was simply a matter of luck
• Music, which we enjoy seeing live and on the big stereo
• The fact there this is something, rather than nothing. It didn’t have to be that way.
• My other friends. I am lucky to have so many. They are all valued.
• Books and reading

Today we went and early voted in a Texas constitutional amendment election.

Voted against all the bad things and in favor of the good. Example: Vote in favor of funding for dementia research. Voted against the “parents rights” amendment what is essentially just a badly camouflaged anti-trans bill. We get stuff like here with the republiKKKans in charge of things in the state. Fucking lunatics.

We live in a world where there are second-generation scientologists.

Let that percolate in your brain a bit.
