Beautiful Bellaire, MI

A photo of a grey smoky sky, taken around 5p, with a two story lodge on the ground and a very small obscured orb that is the sun trying to break through. The actual sky was somewhat oranger in person.

This pizza really is great

A picture of a plate-sized piece of pizza on a plate on a countertop. It is roughly triangle shaped but is rounded, and has sauce, cheese, pepperoni, onion, jalapeño, and pineapple on it, plus salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan cheese. There is an iPad in the background open to a book.

if this flag offends you I'll help you pack!!!

An image of the flag for the Greendale Community College from the show Community. It is blue with white text, with a pink circle in the middle that has arrows radiating out from the center pointing towards the edges. It looks like a drawing of a butthole, and says "e pluribus anus">

Ironically, it looks like they stole this from the person who originally posted it and then used AI to generate a worse version of it. Shocking to see see this in the (checks screenshot) r/artificialintelligence community

A post from @kyletrainemoji, likely on Twitter.

Picard - Data, shields up

Data - Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not a precaution - it's strategy.

[camera shakes]

Worf - Hull breaches on nine decks

Data - Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't

I have to assume my state tax returns are never going to get to where they're supposed to be. I mailed my federal returns at the same time, and they arrived in Utah on the 24th.

A screenshot of USPS tracking from their webpage. It shows that an item was dropped off at a post office in New Orleans on 4/14 at 4:38p, departed that post office two hours later, made it to the regional distribution center the next morning, was in a North Houston Texas distribution on 4/17, and has since been moving through the network as of 4/21. There are no newer updates. At the time Jessica is posting this, it has been 17 days since she dropped it off.

I have all these and more, all of them still working! I love old Nintendo handhelds

A photo of Sam Altman from the 2008 WWDC in San Francisco. He is hawking his stalking app "loopt" while wearing two short sleeve polos - one that is bright pink on top, and one that is bright green underneath. It's not a good look, in my opinion.

@erininthemorning.com has Louisiana listed as among the worst states for trans people, youths or adults. There are a handful of cities that have some protections, but on the whole, the state is in the worst part of the country for people like me. Also worried about my queer interracial marriage.

A screenshot from the Erin In The Morning blog showing which states are considered the worst for trans people. The text reads -

“The Worst States (AL, AR, IA, ID, IN, LA, MS, OH, OK, ND, SD, TN, UT, WV, WY): These states have passed deeply troubling legislation targeting transgender adults in extremely harmful new ways. Utah has a bathroom ban for transgender adults. Alabama has also passed a Don’t Say Gay bill that includes a bathroom ban on college campuses. Many states, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, and others listed in this category have gone so far as to legislatively erase transgender people, effectively removing any legal rights associated with their gender identities. Other states, such as North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, prohibit any changes to birth certificates, forcing trans people to out themselves when showing their documents. These states also could start targeting adult gender affirming care - Florida has already done so, banning 80% of such care. Idaho has an extreme ban on state funds for gender affirming care.”

Erin In The Morning’s Anti-Trans Legal Risk Assessment Map showing that a majority of the states in the US are either already legally unsafe for trans people or are projected to be within the next two years. Safe states are WA, OR, CA, NV, AZ, NM, CO, MN, WI, IL, MI, and most of New England.

But there are some problems with that. First, Q would not want to live here. Second, I love living in SF and leaving there would likely price us out of ever being able to live there again. But the biggest issue is that the state is a shit place for trans folks to live.

A photo of Jessica sitting at a table, from the chest up. She is wearing a low cut flowery dress, clearly meant to show off her breasts. Her Zelda tattoo is visible. Her hair is down and she is smiling. In the background are some chairs, and a sidewalk with some local businesses on the side.

A photo of a teal electric guitar, teal electric bass, and orange acoustic guitar all placed in an upright multi-guitar stand placed in front of a window. It’s bright outside but dark in the room, which is making it look kind of moody. There are curtains on the window from ceiling to floor, with brick walls to either side.

A photo of Jessica’s wife, Q, taking her first bite of a fresh beignet at Cafe du Monde. She has a kind of silly look on her face as she bites in. She is wearing a yellow shirt with some intricate patterns on it. There are many people in the background also at the shop.

A second picture of Jessica’s wife, Q, in the same location. Her expression has changed to one of surprised delight.

There is a world in which I could see myself moving to New Orleans full time. Get a local job that covers rent and health care and leaves me with enough time to just play and listen to music. Less time on computers, more time practicing. I’d have to get used to the humidity, but it’s doable.

A photo of Jessica on her phone on a street in the French Quarter. She is wearing jeans with ripped knees, a black tank top, and has a blue/white flannel tied around her waist. There is a Spanish-architecture style house in the near background, with fluffy white clouds catching the beginning of the sunset in an otherwise blue sky in the far background.

A photo of a “one way” road sign that has two stickers with the letter “g” added, so that the sign reads “gone gay”.

A close up photo of a snare drum and drumsticks being held by Jessica. The background is blurry, but you can make out part of a bass drum, and there are two people holding brass instruments in the shot, along with someone holding an accordion that is mostly cropped out.

A photo of the back top half of the steamboat City of New Orleans. There is a man standing at the controls of a calliope beneath an American flag blowing from right to left.

Apparently I'm toxic for blocking the Bluesky AI that I have no desire to interact with When in reality I am toxic for so many other reasons, and I never get acknowledgment for that

A screenshot of a bluesky account that has zero followers, is following four people, and has a single post. The post is from 20 hours ago, and is showing a moderation list called "Attie Haters" created by the poster, with the description "Toxic accounts that blocked Attie."

A notification in a bluesky dm showing that the user from the first picture has added Jessica to the moderation list followed by a notification that another user has blocked Jessica at the same time.

Back to New Orleans for three more weeks, then four days of driving back to SF. I wish I knew when I’d be getting back there for a long stay again, but this was really a one time only kind of event.

A picture of the board at United gate E7 in SFO. It shows that the plane headed to New Orleans is boarding in 69 minutes.

Made dinner and watched the Mario movie and now I have to water my wife’s plants and then clean and go to bed early because I’m doing a long ride in Marin tomorrow with my old boss from 2020 and even though the world fucking sucks and the Wings lost I can still find joy sometimes for now #eatarbys

I'd like to thank everyone that made this possible! So many doors opening from smart LinkedIn usage. It's not just about sharing wins - it's about building a brand and a community that you can leverage when you're inevitably laid off and are crushed in the gnashing gears of capitalism. #SaaS #b2b

A cropped screenshot of an email from LinkedIn to Jessica that says, "Jessica, your posts made an impact and your audience showed up. Here's a glimpse at how your content performs the week of 03/09 - 03/15."

Flying home for a week; not excited for this first leg from MSY to LAX, but the LAX to SFO part will be better. Excited for an edible and some Dramamine to try and kill the anxiety

The tv at the Airbnb has redeemed itself. It can have all my data for providing 24/7 MST3k and Rifftrax

“Untrained”

… Ross worked for ICE, but one suspected he had some kind of involvement with the military because they saw him wearing fatigue pants.

Deployed to Iraq as a member of the Indiana National Guard from November 2004 to November 2005, Specialist Ross of the 138th Signal Battalion earned the Army Commendation Medal, the Army Good Conduct Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Medal and the Iraq Campaign Medal among others, according to the guard.

During his time in Iraq, Ross was a machine gunner on a combat logistical patrol team, court documents show.

After he returned home, Ross joined the U.S.
Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas, in 2007 and worked for the agency until 2015 as a field intelligence agent who gathered and analyzed information on drug cartels and human traffickers.

That year, Ross joined ICE as a deportation officer based in Minnesota whose job, he testified in a case recently, was to identify and arrest "higher value targets."

Ross testified that he was also a member of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force as well as a firearms instructor…

Hmm

A trio of national guard members walking down a street in New Orleans, in the French quarter. They have assault rifles out in the open and appear to be sharing a joke.

I’ve done it again

Prime rib is in the oven. This is your only warning.

Okay but the nachos earlier were delicious and Q took this picture of how happy I was while eating them

I cut my family off a year ago, after Q and I went to Michigan for thanksgiving and spent two days at my mom’s house, where she questioned every decision I was making and made Q cry because “she treats you like you’re a child” and “she doesn’t respect your decisions”.
