I am starting to dread airport security. Mac was pulled aside by armed German officers as we exited the plane en route to Rome this spring and asked for ID which I had and had walked ahead with. Then this weekend when coming back to TX from IN, TSA asks me while I was in line if I was on vacation (asks no one else anything), then asked Mac his age and both names while they had his passport. Again did not hear them ask anyone ahead of us anything. And of course he was the only person of color, because of course.

ION, I might actually throw up. I am nauseated, but forced myself to eat, because stress should not make me forget to eat, but God things are awful.

Yeah, that's really hard msbelle. I'm worried about all my friends and family who are not white. And I just don't even know what to do. like, my sister is freaked out about the latest one because it hits extra hard--her daughter is 4 (and my BIL is black)
Microsoft addressed a group of its interns as "bae" and invited them to a party with "hella noms" and "lots of dranks." And then closed it with "HELL YES TO GETTING LIT ON A MONDAY NIGHT."
Hahaha oh Microsoft no.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
OMG, I'm trying to be snarky on FB and almost used "trump" as a verb (in its normal sense), and then realized I needed to find another word to use.
I went with "one-up."

Stupid orange-headed fool taking perfectly good words away from us. I see outraged bridge clubs muttering dolefully into their tea cakes.

This brings to mind the rapping Colonel Sanders cartoon from quite a few years back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I see outraged bridge clubs muttering dolefully into their tea cakes.
Or passive-aggressively poking at each other. "Three NO TRUMP!!!!"

The guy I was sniping at responded with a variation of "all lives matter", but fortunately I'd preemptively said I wasn't going to engage with him any more.
(Jesus, white people, why are so many of us clueless?)

Oh, Monday is going to be glorious, a high of 78. Tuesday will be 86 and the rest of the week in the 90s, but Monday will be blissful--and I'll be on vacation!
