Oh! Location is: A Bar of Their Own in Minneapolis, MN

I arrived at the bar a little over an hour ago. I started journaling. 4 handwritten pages and counting. This place is super safe and welcoming. They’re just letting me do my thing and keeping my glass full. Welcome to introspective Delia

A point of clarification... I know alcoholism is brutal to kick. I respect people who try. I respect those who try and fail. Hell, I am probably a bit of an alcoholic myself (though I can go without it). I take issue with people who are willfully rude.

The absolute gall of puking in the bathroom sink (in the only bathroom in the house) of the house you are a guest in and not cleaning up after yourself.

No, not a child. No, not someone who is ill with a virus. Just a selfish alcoholic.

I exited the closet.

I tore the closet door off.

I threw out all my old boy costumes.

I built a shrine to the woman I’ve always been.

Fuck this SCOTUS, Fuck this POTUS, this trans woman isn’t willing to merely survive, she’s gonna fucking THRIVE.

also, fuck ICE, just cause.

I reiterate:

The deity who decided we could either breathe or ugly cry (but not both) should be condemned to a lifetime of stepping on milled-metal legos.

Dear deities,

I am specifically addressing this to the bastard who decided we could either:

A) ugly cry

or

B) breathe

I hope you hit your pinky toe on the table leg of any table you get within a foot of.

And all of this happened after my *most supportive* siblings could not even commit to using my new name and pronouns when talking to the rest of the family.

Then why am I the one crying over this while they don’t have a fucking care in the world?! Shouldn’t they at least be a little embarrassed?!

Completely unscientific poll time:

If someone (who wants to hook up with a third party) asks you whether you hate the third party, directly in front of the third party, would you consider that manipulative?

I kinda feel like it forces dishonest responses based on the desire to not hurt others.

Go read the attached article. It is actually bewildering.

I kinda laugh-cried my way through this.

Most fascinating, though, is how hotly contested the Hennepin County Attorney & Minnesota State Auditor races will be. Those may end up being the most intriguing races to follow in this cycle. And who knows, someday soon, there may be candidate for a local/state office who looks exactly like me.

While it was cool seeing Ilhan Omar, Keith Ellison, Angie Craig, Peggy Flanagan, John Hoffman, & other well known democrats speak, I was particularly impressed with the new, young candidates out there. Seeing people younger than me stepping up is so encouraging. 2/*

Went to my first senate district convention yesterday. Well, I should say that it was the first one I attended since I was a child. It was a fascinating process. There are some issues with it, but overall I thought it went well. Met some nice, politically active (and motivated) neighbors. 1/*

Playlist transitions that just work, but I can’t explain why:

1. Misfits “Dig Up Her Bones”
2. Warren G & Nate Dogg “Regulate”

Happy International Women's Day to all you amazing ladies out there. I hop you enjoy your

*checks notes*

23 hours of celebration.

Despite the fact that I missed the Alternative show during #triviaweekend, I have trained my @triviamafia.com host to include “Banditos” by the Refreshments into his regular playlist.

I am fucking WINNING at life.

I got different but also tasty snack crackers from Warm Goat Spings University at the awards show! They’re a delicious substitute

Now that #triviaweekend is over, I am going to get healthier. For example, I am only eating this 1/4 of a Bismarck. (Roku remote for scale)

The derpy doggo in question:

Home from #triviaweekend. Just got a “hug” from the sweetest and derpiest Great Dane ever. It seems he may have missed me. Brought my roommate a Nelson Bros Caramel Roll (I am good at bribing) so that she won’t mind me lounging on the couch and doing a lil day drinking.

I danced for about 2-3 hours. I tried keeping up with a college aged person. I am almost 47. My right hip says “fuck you.”

Worth it,I never dance. . #triviaweekend.

LOL! Just keep supporting the contest and KVSC, I couldn’t ask anything more. <3

This one of the rare moments where crying in the bar is warranted and is because my heart is full.

LOL. Autocorrect is and asshole. That was supposed to say: With love, Delia “Dorf” Waldorf. #triviaweekend

I’m sitting in a bar of people who, 11 years ago, knew me only as a member of Far Que. I was a weird drunk kid that followed Alex H around at the station ion my first year. I don’t know all the people in this room, but y’all are family. Thank you. With love, Delivery a “Dorf” Waldorf #triviaweekend

Y’all are why I keep doing it! 🩷

I GOT SNACKIES FROM WGSU!!!

Awwww thanks!!
