A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Is Jilli around? has she - or anyone else - seen THIS? Seems relevant to our collective interests ....

YES. If anyone in the whole eastern half of the country (or willing to travel) wants to do a faboo steam-sew-in, I'm down. (And could probably provide good sewing space with a little advance notice.)

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

I'm only watching the RNC to find out who's side Lucifer is on. Oh wait! They covered that.

Heh. I decided to sit outside. It's 85 degrees but the cicadas are soothing.

My favorite (but now closed) taco place did a mashed potato taco that was excellent.

Dang, that acquaintance who posted about how much he likes the abusive bigoted Breitbart editor who got banned from Twitter? Just doubled down. Acquaintance said "Have you watched his videos? He was banned because he's an outrageous, satirical, British gay man."

NOAP. You are now on the Stay The Hell Away From Me list, broheim. (I did reply, "Twitter didn't ban him for being outrageous, satirical, British, or gay. They banned him for being an abusive racist bigoted troll. Surely the difference is obvious.")

NO WORRIES, I got your back. You can make them for yourself at home.

I looked at a fussy Saveur recipe, but no way I'm making homemade salsa and hard taco shells for a weekday dinner. But the potatoes themselves are easy peasy. Boil (or in my case steam) the potatoes until soft, then mash them with butter (lots), cumin, salt, pepper, and a bit of salsa in lieu of milk. OMG sooo good, so easy. Bonus: son likes them too. My daughter wasn't willing to try them, but she'll eat tacos made with a can of black beans so she's easy.
