I miss the days before vaccines, when nobody died.

OT because I'll be getting ready for bootcamp class when Open rolls around:

I've pretty much settled a likely college destination for TeenX for 2025, with a safe spot from which she can begin her journey to independent life. She's Non-bin/Trans and on the spectrum, strong artistic gifts, intelligent, innocent but brave. She can live, to start, with retired academic granny in her academic town, with three colleges from which to choose. There's a very strong community of family friends and allies for her, to cushion the shock. People of respect and status for her relative safety, good (our) values, who will love her in our absence. Not a great distance from our state, not too different a community.

When I discussed it with the granny yesterday and she said she'll take her on a campus tour during her visit this weekend, and was 100% supportive, I burst into tears of relief.

This child is the reason I was born. I want everything for her. In this society, now, her survival is threatened. But this is a huge positive and Mac Daddy/HusbX and I are so relieved.
