One of my friends tweeted a joke about a cat that ended up going viral, and her Twitter account is in her real name, which is a pretty clearly Jewish name, and a whole bunch of white supremacists -- several with Twitter handles that reference Trump -- started tweeting all sorts of garbage at her.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, the internet is the worst.

I dislike Trump. I wish he was still the slightly amusing caricature that he used to be.
In happier news, I received two reviews and a rating for my book yesterday. That's the most one day activity I've ever seen. All 5-star as well. I'm still trying to line up reviews at blogs, got three so far and one that says he'll post about it but doesn't have time to do a review. I hope they all pan out. I suspect I've reached the limits of my meager social media.

My plan to do nothing in the evening, no projects, for the first time in, oh, a while, was thwarted. I resume normal plans to do too much tomorrow.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I should have waved at msbelle when we passed Fort Wayne today.

In case anyone was wondering, sneezing about 30 times in a row will hurt your throat, stuff up your nose, and make you feel like shite. I do not recommend the practice.

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

That resembles my mornings. Well. I've gotten up to 26 in a 90 m period.
I gotta say, every time I walk into my bedroom, I get a frisson of joy. So happy with the new furniture. It was the right impulse buy.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Fucking Humana (unsurprisingly) denied my doctor's request for approval of the only drug that might help my IBS. The reason they gave for denying it? They said I need to have first tried Drug XYZ within the last year.
I am currently TAKING Drug XYZ, and have BEEN taking it 24/7 for over 3 months, which their own pharmacy claims show. So I clearly meet their criteria.
Will I be angrily Tweeting at Humana while my doctor appeals the decision? You damn bet I will.
(I know that insurance companies basically just deny claims the first time even if you meet the criteria and hope that you don't have the spoons to appeal. They don't know me very well. But they will.)
I also genuinely hope that every executive at Humana gets the form of IBS I have and that no medication works for them and they can't get to a bathroom when they need it. For real. Fuck those fucking fuckers.
