SpiritDay is the world’s most visible anti-bullying movement inspiring LGBTQ youth, especially transgender and nonbinary youth to live their lives in their truth and authenticity. As a person of faith I believe that LGBTQ people are made in God’s image and are worthy of unconditional love and safety.
It’s a new phone day for me. We have been loyal Google Pixel users since the original model. This is the 9a that is replacing my 7a. My wife has the 8a, and we have had other models over the years. We usually upgrade every couple of years because we have Google Fi as our phone provider. We like all the good stuff these phones have to offer, such as its camera and call quality. The Pixel integrates with the Google ecosystem seamlessly. I suppose my next phone will be the 11a, and that should be in 2027. Along with the phone comes a new holster case for it.
Today is the end of life for the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. After today there will no longer be updates sent out unless you buy extended service programs.
Upgrades to Windows 11 are available to compatible computers.
Those who don’t have machines that will run Windows 11 will have to buy a new computer or use open source operating systems like Linux Mint to keep their systems from becoming unusable. I do recommend Linux for those with some experience. Thank you Windows 10 for your service.
You never lose by being kind. You only lose when you forget to be.

I am fifty-six years old, and some days I feel every year of it. My personality is like that of a big kid in many ways. However, life has called upon me to have situational maturity in times when needed.
I think getting married, buying a house, paying bills, going to the doctor are times when you have to put on your big boy pants on. Also, being burned out of your home and helping walk a parent through their death is super important.
So to answer the question, there have been many times along with that first time which I can’t pinpoint as to being a grown up. Being grown up can suck, I must say.
It’s 2025 and why in the hell do many want to go back to 1955 and earlier. The promise of the future is in jeopardy by those who are wanting to claw back the hard fought progress that has made the world more just and fair. I don’t want dystopia, it’s not the best place to be.
