The right to change one's mind is sovereign and sacred...and also courageous! Kudos to you, Clint. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Happy New You 2026 to you too, boo! I love breaks…almost as much as I love writing (and video editing). Cheers!

Welcome back from wherever you've been, or maybe the places you've visited. You were missed.

I appreciate the welcome back, Lee. I haven’t been anywhere since the cruise in early December. And the doctor. All’s well in my world now. Hope 2026 is off to a good start for you and yours! Cheers….

Yeah, speaking kinda metaphorically: I can go a thousand places without leaving the couch. So from all the places you might have been at one point in your mind, welcome home. Lee

Thank you, Dear Doug. Feel free to keep saying it. One of these days it’ll sink it. My noggin is THICK. Btw, if you’re available tomorrow, would love to see you in the Zoom call. By my calculations, the “Hangout” would work best for your time zone. No pressure though. https://luma.com/vhcz47ze

Clint, I understand the need to write. It’s what helps me get out of bed every morning. Might I suggest, on a day you just don’t feel up to it, just post a sentence saying something like “Thinking of you. Taking care of myself.”

fondly, Michael

Thanks, Michael. That’s exactly what I have in mind. Luckily, I’ve collected so many “Born This Way Today” links and such that I can easily include those little digestible queer history celebrations.

take a break when you need it. writing is not a zero sum game. the daily habit does help us create and think and thrive but also give yourself grace to rest as needed. the judgment is typically inside one's own head (not coming from us outside)

Thank you, Jerry. I appreciate and respect your input. For now, I think I need the daily habit to build on. Noodling on some longer-form projects, but love short-form too. Variety is the spice of life, right? Hope you and yours are doing great!
