However, it has been a continual worry of my parents, so much so that my Dad insisted I take an uber instead of jogging down to my gym when it was about a mile from here.

I guess 5 minutes of exposure to a stranger is nominally better than 15 minutes out overland?

The thing is, this is probably over cautious. I've never had to much problem except being yelled at in a bathroom a couple times, but there is a more sinister tilt to the world than there was before for me, here.

Odd.

So I messed up my schedule and so I wasn't able to get to the gym today.

My parents need their car often in the mornings so if I don't get out by a certain time, it prevents me from going.

I could run outside. I'm equipped to, but I don't exactly feel safe being out to much here with the way thigns are in the US right now.

That struck me as.a surprise. I know Lubbock has hostile people to trans folks, but it's never prevented me from getting out there before.

Holy Gods this hits hard.

Mom and dad leave....

30 seconds later.

Body: Oh you haven't run today, then why don't we just eat all the things...

Me:

AMERICA! Heck yeah!

Most of my content I curate and I avoid ads like the plague. Advertising truly bugs me deep down.

Visiting my parents, they always have the TV on, and so... LOTS OF COMMERCIALS!

I'm approaching it with curiosity as best I can. I was just watching a DQ commercial.

We live in an interesting time. There is still a lot of food insecurity in the world, but we have whole industries dedicated not just to providing food, but unique, cheap food pleasure.

It's just a wild world out there.

@LnzyHou Good morning groovy soul! How's your dawn?

Good morning groovy souls!

My schedule is so sideways (Again) But I am on the bounce!

How's everyone this morning?

.

Good night groovy souls... I'm going to go rack out for a few hours.

Mom: Are you going to stay up all night?

Me: Wha? Yes, bed soon, please thank you... *Thud*

I am sooo tired.

That was a rad Coso Call!
