I don't think I have much of anything constructive to add to the next Drupalcon being in....Florida.

No one wants to travel in the US right now. It's a hot mess and it's getting worse for anyone who isn't a heternormative cis guy.

Moving the 'con to Canada presents other issues. It adds the expense of a passport. And with ICE at airports now, unless you a *white* heteronormative cis guy, you are likely suspect and may be detained, doxed, or have your devices scanned.

I sorely overestimated how much I could walk around to explore parts of Chicago nearby the DrupalCon hotel (feet and lower back were not happy with my choices), but at least I got to go see the bean.
Maybe pair me with a nice red wine. I don’t care which kind, it’s your choice.
Someone put me out of my misery: degut me and fry me up with some butter and freshly-squeezed lemon juice. Serve with a size of roasted vegetables.

I feel like the universe might be dropping hints here and there, that the values I hold dear to me don’t match the values of the things that had been interests and passions for me for so long (e.g., Drupal, web technology, etc.).

Talk about feeling like a fish out of water.

Sometimes I just make things worse. 😫

I’ve reached the part of pregnancy where I start crying randomly at certain video game music. Why? I have no idea. But then I start laughing about it. So weird. 🤷🏻‍♀️
