I'm so lucky I did this to be safe 🛜

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Not too long ago, I was interviewed by someone at a rally who turned out to be a reporter with a Texas right-wing media outlet (nope, I didn't vet him - totally my bad).

He tweeted the interview plus put it in an article on the organization's website and socials. The comments were awful (I know, I know - I shouldn't have read them!). Lots of people wanted to see me arrested or hurt, and it was been shared by some pretty large accounts.

BUT! I had already taken some measures to protect my personal information.

I signed up for DeleteMe to protect myself and my family.

DeleteMe scrubs your personal info from online data brokers ands prevents anyone from finding your personal info, like your phone number or address, but your business info can still be found.

I feel so much better with an expert continuously removing my personal info from tons of sites so I don't have to!

Small joys

A few weeks ago, I had surgery for a back issue, and the recovery has been a bit rougher than I anticipated. In addition to feeling significant soreness and fatigue, I was not allowed to raise my arms above my shoulders or bend, lift, or twist for 30 days. Yesterday finally marked 30 days since the surgery, and I celebrated by doing exciting things like bending over to tie my shoes, leaning over to put my breakfast dishes in the dishwasher, and reaching for office supplies on a high shelf. I...

Chappin' my hide

Did you catch the President's State of the Union speech this week? Nah, I didn't either. I figured I'd catch the highlights later rather than subjecting myself to that man's voice for 107 minutes. As you can imagine, this "highlight" really chapped my hide: "No state can be allowed to rip children from their parents' arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents’ will. Who would believe that we’re even talking about this? We must ban it, and we must ban it immediately." Raise...
