15 things you can do in light of yesterday

Yesterday was hard and days will continue to be hard. Here are a mix of self-care and action suggestions.

  1. Know your limits with media. It is okay to turn off the news and/or hop off social media
  2. Find ways to relax today (e.g. meditate, nap, take a bath, take action)
  3. Do things that make you feel safe (e.g. reach out to loved ones)
  4. Donate to organizations that mean something to you
  5. Donate to the two new Georgia senators: Warnock and Ossoff
  6. Donate to Resistbot which helps people easily contact their reps about important issues
  7. Contact your reps about impeachment. You can find contact information here. 
  8. Text IMPEACH to 50409 to reach your reps about impeaching Trump (this also signs their petition for you)
  9. Text 25TH to 50409 to reach your reps about encouraging enacting the 25th amendment (this also signs their petition for you)
  10. Text SEDITION to 50409 to reach your reps about removing seditious politicians (this also signs their petition for you)
  11. Look at all of Resistbot's petitions and consider signing
  12. Remember that an effective way to reach your reps can also be fax. You can fax your senators for free online here, your reps for free online here, and your governor for free online here
  13. If you have it or find it, provide information related to violent activity at the U.S Capitol Building to the FBI
  14. Sign the NAACP impeachment petition
  15. Spread the word about these and any other action items

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
