My Son Isn’t A Political Debate

On 22nd Jul 2026 By Absurd RhioIn lgbtqia, mental health4 Comments

This is one of the hardest posts I've ever written. It's about my son, the Supreme Court ruling, and why, as a cis woman, I don't feel more protected by it. Most of all, it's about the human cost of turning people's lives into political debate.

Grief blogging, ADHD chaos, ED recovery, and Cyberpunk 2077 outbursts. Sometimes Biscoff. Always feelings.
