Can someone please explain to me in VERY SMALL WORDS why it is that re: Florida and Michigan, where the states expressly DID NOT PLAY BY THE RULES AND THIS WAS KNOWN BEFOREHAND, people are calling the DNC hypocritical because they, umm. Kinda enforced the RULES THAT WERE KNOWN BEFOREHAND?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Good news about your father, Kat!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Of course, the Khalil Ghibran school is an arab culture/language school, not a Muslim school. FYI. Hence being named after a Christian.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Are "did not get desired result" small enough words?
eta: Also, house and makeup blogs. You said so!

Plei, I wish I could explain it to you, but I can't. I can see where Florida and Michigan voters might feel screwed since the voters themselves didn't set the primary dates. But I don't get it (as someone who enforces rules that don't make sense regularly).
This political season has driven me from sort of excited about what's going on to extremely angry. I think I am done reading about politics until after election day.

People are all, "FLORIDA 2000! OHIO 2004!" and I'm all, "Apples? Oranges? Take it up with your state chairpeople who decided to break the rules in the first place?"
But I think you're right. Even though they're all saying it's Not About That.
Oh, bullcaca.

Because you aren't in my classroom where I am eating a cupcake.
I had the best lunch.... special weird wild grain mix (with couscous [not the little grains of semolina kind, but the nice round yummy ones], orzo, baby chickpeas and red quinoa) with a roasted red pepper sauce and turkey meatballs. It's sounds nasty, but it's the best quick meal EVAH. And I left school and went to the Coffee Bean (in walking distance....love) and got an iced tea.
My life is filled with the yum.

That's a good plan.
Though I'm finding it hard, hard, hard to avoid.
