I'm pretty sure no one has ever spelled the word "renaissance" correctly on their first try, without looking it up.

Sometimes bigots say "I don't understand why LGBTQ+ people have to be so in-your-face about their sexuality."

We straight people are CONSTANTLY in EVERYBODY'S face about our sexuality, it's just that it's super common and completely normalized, so no one cares or even notices.

Every time a dude introduces you to his wife/girlfriend, or a woman introduces you to her husband/boyfriend, they're essentially telling you "Yeah, we're totally boning, and on some level, you now know that."

You know when your neighbors are having a big bonfire party, and you can smell that wholesome, earthy bonfire scent, but you're kind of jealous and bitter because they didn't invite you?

That's how I feel about #Canada right now.

Oh, hello #Mastodon, I forgot about you for a couple months there. I'll try not to do that again. I really do enjoy you, and I'm certainly not going back to that Other Site.

Question for those who say prosecuting a former president sets a dangerous precedent:

Isn’t it more dangerous to set a precedent that a former president will never face accountability if they broke the law?

I've been neglecting #Mastodon. I need to get back in the habit.

In unrelated news, Wiseguy #Pizza in #WashingtonDC (East End-ish area, a few blocks northwest of the #Capitol) is amazing. Just discovered it today. Thought I'd share.

Day three of complete #decaffeination. Crazy vivid dreams again last night. I hope that's not a permanent change, because I really prefer peaceful, dreamless sleep.

Mild headache this morning, but it's not too bad.

Brain fog and disorientation seem to be fading, which of course is a good thing.
