TPT#450 - The Drainage Department

As a blended family, we have never celebrated a holiday on its assigned calendar date. (ACAB = Assigned Calendar At Birth?) We had lots of holiday queerness in all senses of the word, from a visit by Cousin Vinnie for LGBTQIA+ holiday outings, to adjusting our traditions now that the kids are grown.

TPT#449 - Naughty Dog Stories

The boys have lived elsewhere for over a month, but we're still their parents. We also had been pet parents, but we recently lost Bob and so we're down to one dependent mammal.

TPT#445 - Friend In Law

We went to a friend's gay wedding, saw another friend, and hung out with a bunch of weird straight people. Or maybe straight weird people. Or maybe we're being redundant.

TPT#442 - I Didn't Think You Were Serious (Evictions, Pt. 1)

Some months ago, we gave our adult children a set of expectations they needed to meet in order to continue living with us. They did not meet the expectations, so we needed to enforce the consequences, but we still care about them, so we tried to be kind in doing so.

The second part of this story follows next week!

TPT#440 - A Problem And A Worry

As our country of origin continues its glacial slide toward christofascism, we decided to temporarily escape ... to TERF island. Between tiny urinals in clean restrooms and LGBTQIA+ tours of government stolen artifacts museums, we got to attend London Trans Pride and tour Doctor Who filming sites.

TPT#436 - There Was Gendery Fun Stuff

While George was wandering himself all over the western US, he encountered a lot of folks who were doing a lot of gendery stuff. From the seemingly-cishet dude at the hardware store in the bay, to the queers at the psychedelic conference, to the cissies at the support group near home, there was much gender to be had.

TPT#430 - Lemme Tell You A Man Story

George's shoulder surgery went better than expected, although being an 'old retired guy' everyone wants to talk about injuries and ailments. While he recovers we're preparing for Child#2 to turn 18 and move out, with strongly mixed feelings.

TPT#428 - Sandwich That's Been At 7-Eleven Too Long

When westerners call the generational status of caring for children and elders simultaneously "Sandwich Generation", Jess thinks that makes it sound like flavorful fillings in an easily handled form, but we have found it to be far from tasty. George especially finds it challenging while also dealing with repeated illness and injuries.
