Maybe it's the engineer in you.
You are so good at seeing problems as problems to be solved and not as people who suck. And you're good at helping others to see things that way too.
People love working with you. Even people who hate working with each other!
It's wonderful in our relationship because I have never felt like I'm a problem, or that you don't trust me, or don't feel safe with me. There's never irritation about how we do things differently, from small things like folding laundry to larger things like raising children. We talk things out. We figure out if they matter.
And because of you and how you approach life and us, I know deep in my bones that I can trust you and that I am always safe with you. (And of course, you're always the solution, never the problem!) I think you rub off on me and remind me about what really matters. You make me a better person.
You are calm and competent and so good at how you approach solving things. Even if we don't come to a solution right away, I have full faith in your process. You are so mature it amazes me. The world would be so much of a better place if there were more people like you in it.
I love you so much. Every single year is a joy to be with you. I'm glad we've had another year together and I look forward to so many more with you.

What to ask Republicans about abortion this upcoming election season.
I hate when authors from underrepresented groups don't get to write their own stories but clueless White authors get accolades for writing about them instead. This is a reason I love Rick Riordin presents so much. (Also the authors involved are Really Really Good, according to DC2-- because there are a lot of amazing writers who don't get heard because they're underrepresented.) It would be best if Scholastic didn't need to put Rick Riordin's name on things, but it is WAY better that they're getting people writing about their own ancestral mythologies rather than having someone like Rick Riordin do it. (I still think it's ok for Cishet women to write and self-publish historical romances about gay guys-- they're not crowding out romance novels by gay guys, but more introducing people to the genre.)
