a multibajillion-dollar company can afford a bit of guillotine repellent in the form of not being in a hurry to make people homeless.
COMMed for the delightful phrase "guillotine repellent".

My voting plans are as follows:
1) Vote early in-person at town hall for our state primary (for US Senate, not POTUS) on August 22nd (election is September 1)
) Request a mail-in ballot for the general election, and drop it off in person on the first day of in-person early voting
2a) If I don't receive a mail-in ballot, or if something else changes for the worse, I will vote early, in-person.
2b) If something else changes for the worse, my family has instructions to dress up my debilitated body or actual corpse and make me/it vote in person, on election day, Weekend at Bernie's style.

Parenting, Natter-style:
Hec: Matilda is parked in front of her computer for her first class of high school: Ethnic Studies with Ms. Elfland.
She shooed me off when I came back from my run bringing her a hot chocolate and mechanical pencils. Clearly I am not to be on camera. Only a hand that brings cocoa.
Toddson: As long as she doesn't take to saying, "thank you thing."
Atropa: No, that's exactly what she should do.

Toddlers and college students, the two populations most likely to have their tongues in places they probably should not.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I know I am beating a dead horse and preaching to the choir, but the anger of some people scares me.

In Natter, Steph L.
Even if we take as given that Donald Trump's baseline level of health isn't robust, I am stunned that he got Covid while my father, who is a walking medical journal with about 80 billion diseases AND works at a grocery store, still doesn't have it. I really thought my dad would have Covid by summertime. But as far as we know, he's still fine (or at the very least, aymptomatic), and Trump is not. Blows my tiny little mind.
(I'm not really being nice to Trump, here; I'm just shit-talking my dad.)
