Last week Tem and I scheduled our trip to Peru.

If we went to two a year we would finish our list in 2027 and I'd turn 40 before the last trip over winter break.
She's scheduled to be out of town every weekend in October. She wants to give me space to figure out what the fuck I'm doing with my life.
What the fuck am I doing with my life?
Tem is so great. I feel like I keep saying the same things over and over about her but I think I still don't realize how rare and incredible she is. I'm trying to sort out my life and she isn't mad, she offers space. We have an issue we talk about it respectfully. I don't know what else I want. She's beautiful, she's fun, She's willing to do whatever I want whether that be camping in Iceland or watching the Wire.
Kavanaugh was confirmed by the Senate to the Supreme court last week. I remember telling Brian while we were in Chicago in December all politicians are the same. They all say whatever to get votes and once in office they talk a lot and don't impact my life. Thanks to that conversation with Brian (and Tem later) I was able to see how privileged and dangerous that viewpoint is. And now with Trump in office putting people like Kavanaugh on the supreme court bench until he dies I see how dangerous that view is.
It's easy to understand why half the country doesn't vote. What does it matter? Both candidates suck at any level of public office and it's just one vote. So half of our country stays silent.
And in that silence sexual abusers now have the power to overturn Roe v Wade, to overturn marriage equality, to overturn any supreme court ruling from the past.
Again none of this stuff would impact my life in anyway but I can't imagine how scary this must seem to people who's lives it does impact, women and the gay community.
America
we talk of freedom like we know what it is and we have the corner market on freedom.
Live and let live
You're welcome to do and live however you feel.
Your personal liberty to swing your arm ends where my nose begins.
I love this quote and I believe in it deeply. Your personal freedom to have an abortion in no way affects where my nose begins so in the land of the free you should be allowed to do what you please with your body. Your personal freedom to marry a consenting adult of any gender in no way affects where my nose begins so again live free. Your personal freedom to smoke whatever you'd like in no way affects my nose so again do as you please. Drinking in public does not affect me so again do as you please.
If at anytime any of these freedoms encroaches upon another's individual freedom we have a police force in this nation that is sworn to protect and serve if anyone becomes violent while under the influence or not...there will be consequences but by no means should the population of the whole be prohibited to live freely because of the irresponsibility of the few.
The direction this country is heading (backwards) is scary.
I keep hearing about this "blue wave" that is suppose to restore the balance in our two party system republic...but after November of 2016 I have little hope for such a thing. I think America is showing it's true colors and I think it saddens me and worries me.
But you better believe come this election day or any other I will blindly and earnestly vote blue not for the betterment of myself but for those who's freedoms might be stripped of them.
The supreme court already ruled a few years ago the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is no longer relevant...
