Wow, graduation. Doesn't seem possible. Congrats all round. Also, yay for good meds.
We have open house today so the TVs are on music or HGTV. Heartbroken about the hate and horror in Orlando.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You are all in my thoughts today, American 'istas.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's good to hear, tommyrot.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
You know this world has gone fucking insane when Marco Rubio is making sense. About ten minutes ago:
"We're still learning all of the facts... We know there's hate in the world... We know that some of it's inspired by a warped ideology... We know that we've been in conflict with it for a very long time... We stand for and with all Americans, irrespective of their sexual orientation, irrespective of their party ideology, irrespective of where they live. We are all Americans."
No hint of a condemnation of Islam as a whole, which floors me. It's a shame he couldn't actually practice what he's preaching today.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I just made a donation to this place:
Got back from lunch and was sickened again by what I was reading. Especially all of those fuckers who shot down any reasonable kind of gun control after Sandy Hook.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If only more club-goers were armed.....
Nope. I'm going to stick to the hammock and my book.

Sound plan, Jesse. Otherwise your head might explode.
Thanks for the link, Dana.
Tommy, congrats. Glad to hear the new ADs are working well.

They're so goddamn quick to offer prayers and shit, but they won't do the one thing that would ACTUALLY HELP. It's unconscionable.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I want to yell at about five different groups of people simultaneously. Mostly Republican senators, admittedly.

I can't really post anything else on FB right now because I'm sure it's going to come out as a garbled mashed-up rant about Trump, the GOP, and the NRA, probably with my bigoted aunt thrown in for good measure (she's the one who says she cries when she has to tell her gay friends that God hates how they live) (I'm reasonably sure she doesn't HAVE any gay friends since she so diligently spreads the hatred) (and it's fucking attitudes like hers that lead directly to people being murdered).
So...it's probably best I don't post anything. And I'm full of migraine meds so I can't start drinking. And it's hotter and more humid than the equator right now, so I can't take a walk. Basically, what I'm saying is I have a lot of anger and nowhere to aim it.
