i'm back after an absence; i've been working on a bunch of stuff because Cohost is shutting down at the end of the month.

the result: i have a website now, and i'm porting over my essays and running my union blog out of that. i have an RSS feed that works for both, as far as i can tell. things seem like they're calming down now so hopefully i'll be able to be around more for the remainder of this month

Sorry I haven't commented on one of these in a while. Life's been a bit of a mess. I don't know how to feel anymore. Stressed? Terrified? Anxious? Does any of this actually matter?

Have to make a 9 hour drive up north to Georgia for an appointment early October, didn't expect to have to do that. Apparently starting new care was recently banned here, so that's...it sucks. Just trying to keep my sanity till then at this point.

Turns out some family members I have to see regularly are very transphobic, so... yeah. That's been oh so fantastic for my mental health too.

Venting aside (I'm sorry) the best news is definitely getting a new car. Traded in my aging SUV for a much newer Subaru, and absolutely love it. Finally something that wasn't a hand-me-down, that's mine and my own. Also managed turned that now required drive to Georgia into timing perfectly with a camping trip with some friends up there, so that's something worth looking forwards to.

Sorry if any of this was saying too much. I've been stressed way out.

I don't think you need to apologize at all, that sounds like a terrifying situation. I'm happy you at least have a good vehicle to make that drive, but I wish it wasn't necessary to jump through such hoops.
