7 Anniversary Takes

The loss of my tabs; Twitter turning into X; How time does fly; Men being men; and Trauma as authenticity.

Two years ago we were still young, my hair hadn’t turned gray so that I had to suddenly become nearly blond, and the living room was still a light blue. Matt looks exactly the same.

A small catastrophe has occurred. One of my children—one of the sweetest ones actually—obediently, upon what she thought was my direction, shut my best and most beloved browser with all my most crucial tabs. I’m so bereft. I don’t even know what to do. It’s going to take me ages to piece back together the order of my life.

Still, it’s Friday. Are there any takes? Without my tabs, I’m not sure but I’ll do my best.

What do you all think of the transformation of Twitter into X? It feels dystopian to me, like I’m being forced to live in the gaming world of one of my teenage sons. It’s so odd. Matt keeps saying Elon should put a P behind the X and then, whatever this platform is, it would also be Christian but no one would even notice or know. But I doubt Mr. Musk would ever do that.
