Wrote another 1100 words and finished lit review in the Intro chapter to my book on white male popular culture in Philadelphia, 1785-1850. It breaks my sprinter's heart to work this slowly but I hope to finish the whole chapter by the end of August.

Weighed a hair below 188 this morning. Yesterday, my magical male weight-loss powers just kind of took over and I dropped 3 pounds while napping. It felt weird but my digestive system is a wreck and I'll have to keep reducing my food intake and losing weight till I reach 175.

Therapy note. One thing I realized today was that my first marriage really activated the caring mentality that became a much bigger part of my life in the 35 years since the divorce.

This is garbage. What RonDeSantis is telling black students and parents with the "slavery benefited black people" idea is that Florida will teach black history from a white racist perspective while also making black perspectives illegal. If anything, Harris didn't go far enough.

I don't have a window into the soul of John Roberts, but it's equally plausible that Roberts sees himself more as the front man for the lawless, corrupt Supreme Court that's giving bigots free rein and stripping rights from women, black people, LGBT folks, and other people.

One issue with growing up in an abusive family is having a "usable past" that can be called on. Yesterday, I was stressed about a deadline, but also able to hear the voice of one of my high school basketball teammates urging me forward. "Come on Ric"--and it was appreciated.

The corrupt Supreme Court just authorized religious bigots to discriminate against gay people. White conservatives act like the only people who have rights in this country are white billionaires, white gun owners and white evangelicals.
