Confederate flag = flag of treasonous losers.

I'm in a mood today.

YAY SCOTUS! I was cautiously optimistic, but I didn't expect 6-3. Still concerned about the SSM ruling, but not too worried.

They're sending the gays to take our Confederate flags and our guns and make us get healthcare!! Maw, bring me my shotgun.

I have discovered a hole in the underarm seam of the shirt I put on this morning. I pray that I do not discover more holes as the day continues.

Oh, hey, guess who still hasn't gotten the Thing she was supposed to get on Monday? That would be me. Sonuvabeech.

Oh, hey, another project with a short deadline. I'm sure that won't be any problem to wedge into my schedule. Sigh.

You know what's good? Chocolate tea with a little cream. Kinda wish I had little sandwiches to go with it. Just bread and butter would be perfect.

Three conference calls down, one to go. Talking makes my tongue touch my stitches, which creates an instant reminder of yesterday. It is hard enough keeping my tongue away from them, I don't need it going there on its own (unless I want to lisp).

I did get a message from my dentist checking in on me and thanking me for "hanging out yesterday". Ummm, yeah. I appreciate the follow up though.

OMG thank goodness on the SCOTUS. I was really going to be screwed because my state is so petulant they actually passed a law preventing them from creating the state marketplace that would allow me to keep my subsidies. So if it had passed, I would have just gotten all the things done I could before they implemented, and then I would have dropped coverage and paid fines. Which would have sucked. But there's no way I could have afforded the unsubsidized rates. It went up enough as it is.

Oy, Suzi, that sounds like too much talking!

Someone I work with posted a meme thing yesterday with a picture of a confederate flag above (black) young men wearing saggy pants, which said something like "You say this flag offends you (on the flag), well this offends me (on the saggy pants).

I was feeling bad for not calling her out on it, but apparently someone we work with spoke with her about it-- she posted that she took it down and that it is someone she has liked and respected for years-- I thought an apology was coming, but the end of that post and her next posts are her saying that she is not racist, she doesn't think she is superior, she has friends of all colors, etc, etc. She apparently has no respect for this person who spoke to her quietly about this anymore, thinks they are rude and offensive. I really want to post something, because everyone who is posting is being supportive of her (granted, not a lot of people from work) and I want to give her a white privileged 101. It is just so hard to flip the switch in people's heads that just because they were poor or had hard times, or don't actively call people names, they can still be acting in a racist manner, and in fact racism (and sexism) is all around us just permeating everything. But once you see that, it can't been unseen.
