OMG, the girl playing Tommy's mother is spectacularly awful. Smash the Mirror is a really hard song, and you need someone pretty good to make it not suck.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Sewing from scratch is not cheaper than buying cheap clothes, though, even if you don't take your time into account.
But patching/mending old clothes is cheaper than buying new ones.
And the continued supply of cheap clothes is predicated on international trade, cheap fuel, and large companies that can buy/sell/produce in bulk.
See also: cheap food. I bet sales of gardening supplies are way up, too.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I just bought gloves! Mine are for weeding, though. We live downhill from a busy street so no vegetable gardening for us.

Our wings are not tired.
Well it looks like I missed the chance to party like it's 1234567890. [link] I shall celebrate with a long evening of SciFi. My long tv night started 45 minutes ago with SG-1, then TNG, Sarah Connor, Dollhouse, then BSG. And all my crew are off doing other stuff so it is just me, the animals, and the wine. Woo!
Tomorrow it is the Garlic Festival in my home town. Yummy times. Work and stuff. Sunday no plans. Monday the kids have no school and my nephew and his wife are visiting from NY so visiting will happen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah. A bunch of states declined the federal funding rather than teach abstinence-only.
Oh! I didn't actually know that.

Most of the northeast, plus California, plus some others. I'm sure there's a list somewhere online.

That's my congressperson! She seems so reasonable!

I haven't paid much attention to public schools since I went to them, really.

I think the part of the proposed new rules that I'm most impressed with is this:
teaches young people the skills to make responsible decisions about sexuality, including how to avoid unwanted verbal, physical, and sexual advances and how to avoid making verbal, physical, and sexual advances that are not wanted by the other party;
(bolding mine.) I don't recall ever seeing anything like that in any of the sex ed classes I had in high school.
