You are all in my thoughts today, American 'istas.
You are in mine, as well, Shir!
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
And bigoted!aunt has jumped in with her rhetoric about Americans needing guns to rise up against the government.
(Please don't anyone respond to her if you see it. I told her twice that I didn't wish to discuss it, and I'm going to block her if she continues. While I'm admittedly a wingnut who would prefer that no one but the military and LEOs have guns, I'm also not here for discussions about arming the populace to rise up against the government, especially when 50 people just died.)

Heeeeeey, she replied to say she won't discuss it further (though I question whether her use of the term "dear niece" was genuine or snarky, but I'll take the win). And she also didn't say anything shitty about gay people, so it can just stay where it is.
(Though I boggle that she's ready to rise up against the government. Hercules Mulligan, she ain't.)

I just heard about the Orlando shooting. How terrible. WTF is wrong with people?
Did you see any meteors or satellites?
No meteors, alas. We saw some swiftly moving lights that others IDed as satellites, but not in the telescopes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm feeling pretty good about my decision to spend today cleaning for an open house and then sorting through my basement storage space while listening to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy instead of listening to the news. I've seen enough in little snatches to be heartbroken, and I already know I wouldn't be able to handle the details.

I have adulted...front yard is weeded, car washed, wiper fluid purchased, and prescription picked up. I'm done. Too darned hot out there.
And I just remembered an errand I forgot. Now to contemplate if I really need to go out again today.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I wrote my senators about gun control, for all of the good it will do.
