+# Katie comments—
+
+# Ben used the phrase "play the hand you are dealt"
+# And I think this is a thing that you're missing in general
+# That when some things can't be different, you optimize them
+# You were born with awesome Jew hair, so make it awesome
+# And you were born a man
+# So get good at being a man
+# I became a mom, unexpectedly
+# So I tried to be a good mom, lean into the personality traits I have that made me more maternal
+# There are some instances in life where you should try to change the hand you are dealt
+# But I think hair (and gender, as you know) aren't those things, at least not usually
+# That's sometimes what bothers me about some trans people who don't pass well
+# Spencer could have been a good man
+# Or Ada could be an ugly, non-passing, masculine, male-interests woman
+# And he chose wrongly I think
+
+
+# in a nearby alternate future in which my analogue read different books in a differnt order
+# "Mark!"
+# "I don't got by that anymore" _As you know_
+# "Right." (he doesn't say sorry) "You're looking ... well ..."
+# (I know he meant it as an interjection, but I decide to interpret it as an adverb) "Thank you"
+# (Python ADTs)
+# a Python program should be the best Python program it could be
+# "This isn't about code, is it?"
