random life update for those of u who vaguely know me: my parents (divorced almost 5 yrs) are dating (one another)

enjoyed my little staycation (even if i did confirm that its cherry blossoms im allergic to... oops). went to some museums and the local queer bookstore, got lunch w friends, hit my climbing goal for the year(!) by flashing a 5.12- on lead, hung out w my cats, and just generally had a good time

taking a little staycation because i didnt want to leave my cats (or the gym) for too long but had a ton of PTO. so far this has involved dozing w the cats and making plans to visit all the museums tourists usually go to that i take for granted

I love how she’s like. Listen, to be clear, I’m racist. However this is too far

officially pretty consistent w leading 5.11+... and yet still anxious abt making the jump to 5.12-

not to brag but today i managed a hat trick and completed three previously abandoned wips. they were all about 85% of the way done, but it still took abt 7.5k cumulative words (+ some editing) to get them to the finish line

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

there's 'blocked the EO from going into effect' and then there's a judge saying from the bench "this is literally the most illegal thing I've ever seen, how are you even a real lawyer"

led my first 5.11d tonight and i did NOT fall. goal of leading a 5.12a by the time the year is out is looking very attainable 😂

My new essay comic, Antisemitism in a Time of Genocide, is now up at Le Monde Diplomatique in France. I’ll thread the 8 panels in English here, and link to the French at the end.
