When we moved to Oregon in 2019, we always planned eventually to move back "home" to Pennsylvania, the state where, before that, I'd spent all but a year of my life since we moved there in '88.

Today, I'm going to have a conversation with my partners. I think we just have to assume I -- we -- can't go home.

Maybe ever.

Pennsylvania itself is in a low-risk category within two years, but it could easily -- well I know it -- swing into red if the next election cycle breaks another way.

That's not the kind of place where you buy the house that you intend them to "take you out of toes first," as I joked with my wives when we last talked about our plans.

That's what these laws mean to people like me. They mean "the state you consider home might become actively hostile to you within the next 5 years, so you can't plan to buy a home there." They mean "you shouldn't even board a plane that has a likelihood of having a layover in Florida, and you're definitely not going to repeat your 2019 drive across the country, one of the best and worst experiences of your life and the most time you've gotten to spend with your brother in one week since you graduated from high school." They mean half the states in this country are actively hostile to you, legally speaking, in a way you thought was finally behind you.

Sometime soon, I'm going to call my mother and tell her that we're not planning on moving back.

I don't have a clever closing line for this. I'm just sad.

I still think of y'all every time Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market would roll around. Big part of my college years. I'd always hoped you'd be back on the circuit some day, but for the love of all gods and little goldfish, keep your family safe.

I miss TPRFM like a genuine ache in my gut. I really wish we could come home.

When comment count doesn't match the comments you see....

So, on Other Social Media Sites, I often see that a post by one of my mutuals has comments on it, but I can't see any of the comments, or at least not all of them, even if I select "see all comments." I doubt I'm the only one who's had that happened. What's your first reaction when that happens?

Why don't comments match the count?

Wow, my mutual can tolerate people I've blocked.

Oh no, friends of my friend have blocked me!

LOL, Social Media Site Can't Count.

Seriously though, as a web application programmer, note counts belong to a class of problem known as “super fucking hard”. Like you think it’s just number go up, should be simple? But it’s number go up in response to hundreds of thousands of events per minute coming in from everywhere in the world. It’s a nightmare. They’re always at least a bit wrong.

honestly will never forget this older client we had who told me how her life had gotten so much better with time and age and asked how old I was and when I told her I was 28, she said I was just a baby and reassured me I had so much time ahead of me and how much better it'll get as I grow into my life. There was such an indescribable amount of love and hope in that single interaction I think I'll hold it with me forever.
