Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

'suela, I hate when you gear up for something and then it doesn't happen. It feels like I've been stressing for no reason.

I am worried that this latest scandal drop will have zero effect. It feels like the GOP will do nothing. It feels hopeless.

Punishingly Intricate

That's how I'm feeling about it, Kat.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I feel old. I remember when the GOP had concerns when people colluded with Russia.

Our wings are not tired.

I remember when the GOP had concerns when people colluded with Russia.

It seems inconceivable that they aren't feeling the strain of hypocrisy. And yet.

So I got up before 7 AM and over the last 4-1/2 hours I have let the dog in and out several times, made myself breakfast, and read, read, and read some more. Total silence in my household. Bliss.

Thrive to spite them

My nephew has a crush on a girl (according to Mom). He's in 2nd grade and when asked why he liked her E said "She's really funny!" but then said that she's not his girlfriend because it would never work out (this is a paraphrase I forgot the exact wording).

When Mom asked why E said: "Her grandma has Trump/Pence bumper sticker!"

Nice, Laura!!

Our dance event is managing to continue just fine but only because they took all the cash reserves in the groups budget and spent it to pay last minute for the hotel ballroom and floors and sound systems that the Outgames suddenly wasn't paying for. Grrr. And something I ate yesterday violently disagreed with me last night so I didn't even dance much and instead spent most of the night feeing icky and in my hotel room. Today will be better. Thankfully there's three more days of dancing!

I remember when the GOP had concerns when people colluded with Russia.

But Putin is such a good guy, why worry about him when there are bigger threats to America like the media and the wealthy not being more wealthy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelines all!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Omg, I'm volunteering at a reunion and there is basically no reason for me to be here and I apparently have another three hours sitting here with college students.
