Return Post

I haven't updated this blog in two months, due mostly to medical issues. It is my hope that I will be able to resume writing consistently now that I am feeling mostly better. This post is mostly just me catching up on everything that's happened in two months. I plan to begin writing the post on mental healthcare today, and it should arrive next week.

Since my last update, many candidates have dropped out of the race, listed below:

  • Patrick Littlefield
  • Steve Kerrigan
  • Nadeem Mazen
  • Terry Ryan
  • Keith St. John

Also, in that time, a ballot initiative received enough signatures that it will be down-ballot from whoever wins this race, which asks whether we want to discriminate against trans* people. This is notable because one of the candidates *is* trans, and if she wins, then she will share a ballot with a question of whether or not she should be allowed to pee in a public rest room. This is, clearly, deeply disturbing.
