Updating all my government ids. I hate it.

Imagine learning that an admin of one of the girls' fandom update accounts is an actual, honest-to-goodness journalist (not a vlogger) who covers national political events.

Because there's a heightened political mess locally right now, bordering on constitutional crisis, they're there covering the situation, and they had to issue a statement on the fandom account apologizing for not being able to do updates for now because situation is tense.

At my age, it's still mind-blowing to me.

Today, my favorite public servant officially turned down offer to run for president as she did a few years ago and lost (clear anomaly which she couldn't contest because she'd need her own money she doesn't have--no outside contributions--to ask for a recount).

She mentioned her weakness in navigating politics, and that she's more of a working-problem-solving kind of public servant whose platform is all about full transparency and accountability that don't do well in the world of politics and compromises. She's currently a well-loved and respected city mayor in the central region, and said that she's going to retire there.

My heart is sad. A whole lot of people are sad. She's like, we should stop with the savior mentality because there are qualified politicians who can run instead. She's right. Of course, she's right. But dang... uuuuggggghhhhh!!

This is confounding. If it didn't happen to me, I wouldn't have believed it.

I have my very own glitch-in-the-matrix story.

I have a front door, right? Same brand, the only one with this brand, and looks similar to this, right?

It has five owner's keys with the brand embossed on it. Five copies. When I moved here, I took one key and that's the one I'm using for three freaking years!!! THREE!!! Remember when I moved?

Anyway, I'd be out of town next week and my mother will stay here the day after I leave. So, naturally, I took my key box yesterday and gave her a copy. I tested the key, it was working so that's that.

Today, I went out for a walk. So as not to disturb my mother, I thought I'd just lock the door behind me. WHY WASN'T MY KEY WORKING?!!! It wasn't moving, it's stuck in place. I borrowed the key I gave my mother, and hers was working. I looked at the patterns and indentations on the keys, and why the hell are they different?!!

So, I took another copy from my key box and it works! It also looks the same as the one I gave my mother, but different from my old one. And why does my key box have another THREE freaking spare copies in it? Nothing matches the first key. There should be just two but now I have a total of SIX keys when I should only have five.

Where is the door with the lock that matches my first key? Did it slip into a parallel universe? Did the key? Did I slip into another? What the fuck is going on?
