one of the speakers asked that we think about the driver, and I hadn't even thought of that. How terrible would that be??

My mom used to commute on Amtrak and knew the conductors and engineers. It really, really fucks them up. Suicide, sure, but from their end they killed someone, and often saw it coming but couldn't stop it. Awful.

I was very careful of my convos at work. Partly because I don't want to learn something to make me respect them a shitton less. Partly because I wanted to be all fuck all y'all, I'm going to North&pennsy.

Punishingly Intricate

If you all are looking for a way to help out Baltimore, can I put a plug in for Moveable Feast? They have effectively lost their volunteer workforce this week but still manage to get meals out to all of their clients (low income folks living with critical illnesses). Their executive director made sure all of their drivers felt safe and comfortable delivering meals today and they were able to serve everyone. The federal agencies in bmore couldn't even manage to stay open all day due to rumors and fear. So, here's the link to my fundraising page:

A lot of you have donated already, so, thank you!!! The city has pulled our permits for the Sunday part of the Ride so we're having to do a lot of scrambling to figure out logistics but, the important thing is, we're still able to raise the money to help Moveable Feast keep doing the work they do.

Well, fuck, lisah. My friends' wedding is moving 2 hrs earlier, and no Hampden crawl as planned for post, but that's nothing in comparison.

This isn't the answer . Occupation isn't the answer. Community and reform is.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My "1 pkg" of strawberries turned out to be a full pound. Nice surprise. And yum.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My mother once gave me directions that included, "Turn where the tree used to be."

I have a friend whose very woo mother will say things like "Turn when you feel purple."

I need to make donations today. This is my reminder.

I feel like I give directions like that ("where the tree used to be", not "where you feel purple" which seems hard to tie to geography) but I couldn't think of any examples. Will give my mom directions like "turn towards where we had lunch that time" when I'm riding with her. Internal directions at work, though, are full of things like "over by where A used to sit" or "C's old office". If I end up moving to the other site I won't know where anything used to be, I'll constantly be getting lost.
