so i have notifications turned on for my mother on facebook mostly to keep an eye on what the fuck she's up to. bc she and my father are like, "broke the law to start an underground fundie home church during covid lockdown and still aren't vaccinated and are incredibly gullible but also potentially dangerous" levels of Whatever That Is, right?

and she's been relatively normal for a while — photos of sunsets and flowers she saw and food my siblings make and whatever. except she's just shared a post from a like. "hope for hurting parents of wayward children" type fb page that she follows that's all like "remember... [list of bad things in the bible that lasted 40 days]. your day 41 as a parent will come :)))) your child will return"

and i cannot overstate enough how much that fb page and its associated website links out to multiple counselors, orgs, and websites which practice conversion therapy. like mom, sorry to break it to you but your church/the school you sent me to/etc actually put me through it three times already and it didn't take. and also you didn't notice it was happening, fucking somehow. and ALSO i've been with my wife for TEN YEARS like

anyway this just means that once i get my next t shot on wednesday i double extra need to get back into powerlifting bc i wanna be as jacked as possible before the family trip back home for her 60th. if she thinks she's enduring a trial god's sending her way then i better make it an extra virtuous one
