Curious on thoughts from Mastodon. I've recently been faced with this question with a close friend.
You've been told you have a year, maybe 2 years at most until you pass on from cancer. Its not curable, but thankfully there are no immediate ailments. Life can continue status quo for a few months, maybe until the end.
How do you spend your next year And, how would you expect those close to you to support you
How do I overcome social conditioning to confront assholes

Yesterday, I went to the coop with my friend. Arriving at the same time as us was an old white person coded: woman wearing a Barbie-pink MAGA baseball cap with a small US flag patch on it.
The coop is a hippy/liberal grocery and social space. I was safe, and in a culturally supportive environment. My friend is a disabled martial arts badass, who could protect me if it came to that. That hat, and the smug face under it made me angry. Which probably it was supposed to.
Despite my anger and desire to confront her, I didn't. I felt stifled by a lifetime of "be polite," "don't embarass your friend," etc.
I'm working on some strategies for overcoming this and know there must be other people here who are/have struggled with the same thing.

my sweeties book has just been accepted by a publisher. you go girl!

Choices & Chances With Tesa Arcilla
Great Australian Pods Podcast Directory:
Aaaaaand once again, I'm finding myself debating whether or not I would like to undergo a legal name change. I've just written to a lawfirm with some questions, not the least of which is whether I have to change the name on my birth certificate directly. I'd rather keep the birth name on the certificate and have it reflect that it was changed to my preferred name at a later date. I'm from Utah, and I realize that laws differ from state to state, but I'd love to hear more experiences, thoughts, and opinions from the people who have gone through a legal name change for reasons other than marriage. What challenges (if any) did you have to go through Was your reason for the change considered valid Did you have to change your birth certificate, or did you have the option of making an amendment that simply reflected the name change took place Did you use an attorney to help with the process, and did it cost a lot
Never Give Up With Lorna Jane Clarkson

This may be a controversial opinion, but my to women getting is this: don't change your last name.
Regardless of whether the gets passed, having a maiden name and two married names has become a nightmare for things more mundane than the ability to vote. Like 401(k) roll-overs and loan satisfaction documentation.
I highly, highly recommend keeping your maiden name.

An artist friend on Experts:
I find one of the biggest challenges regarding "Experts" is the desire for them to be right. There's lot of self-validation wrapped up in following the advice of "Experts", and when they're wrong it feels like it reflects directly upon the follower of their advice because they didn't exercise good judgement when choosing who to follow in the first place.
Its not a good feeling when you place trust in the advice of "Experts" who turn out to be not trustworthy. And it's incredibly hard to then not in turn twist and distort that as a reflection upon your own self. When the "Experts" we trust let us down, we feel naive and stupid for trusting them at all.
And that's so hard to short circuit. We have to constantly keep reminding ourselves that trust and hope and investment in plans are never bad things. We have to remember, as Rafi has expressed, that our unique square peg roles as artists don't fit into round holes. And we can't take responsibility when the hole looks like one shape and turns out to be another. That is not our fault.
Personally, I've been let down by a lot of "Experts" in my life that I trusted and paid for their perspectives. Sometimes there has been some sort of kernel of wisdom I was still able to take away despite the disappointment. The ones that have been the most effective have been the ones that recognize there are actually no holes to fit into in the first place...

Don't store your history on other people's computers. Ask yourself what you would pay to get your data back if it were suddenly destroyed.
