I almost never skip out on reading my whole Twitter feed, out of my completionist urge, but I just can't handle it today.

I have a new refurbished tiny little Dell Inspiron, and several of my keys (such as c) do not work in Chrome.

Huh. I can't think of any reason for that. There's always Firefox, too. For whatever reason I still always end up using Firefox though Vivaldi is a close second.

You could always use Chromium which is basically Chrome with less Google. If your Chrome install is messed up in a way that reinstalling doesn't help, Chromium might avoid whatever is causing the issue.

Timelies all!

Quiet Sunday here. Gary's mom looked after Mr. S while Gary and I went to lunch and to get groceries. Soon she and Gary will take Mr. S to the pool, while I try to finish moving books to the basement.

So embarrassing to see your (nominal) minister liking your FB post about going to the beach on a Sunday morning! (I mean, he knows I don't go to church, but still.)

Not that I even consider myself a Christian anymore, but the church I attend just had the prepared sermon today and did not address Charlottesville at all except in the pastoral prayer. Unacceptable.

Really excited to send my beautiful boy off the start school in a week and a half. I really would like him to develop some friendship with other students of color.

I spent yesterday being flown to & from Portland so I could film my Very Important Cameo (with dialogue) as a Disapproving Elder Goth in an indie movie. Everyone involved with the production is great, and the kids in the cast are so damn adorable.

There were stressful hijinks with getting home: because of how tight the filming schedule was, and because TSA Precheck isn't open on Saturday nights at the PDX airport, I got to my flight gate 5 minutes after the plane had pulled away. But apparently airline gate staff get concerned when a goth girl starts crying in front of them, and found another flight to Seattle that had been delayed (for almost an hour!), that hadn't started boarding and still had seats available.

Sophia I haven't seen Atypical. Those on my Twitter feed don't seem happy with the trailer.

A big compliant has been that the autistic character isn't played by an autistic actor. One of the show runners or writers said something about how a neurotypical actor could humanize the role. Which is rather unfortunate wording.

Also the fact that a show about an autistic person is a show about a white male.

I'm glad they came through for you, Jilli.

I got up and spent too much money at the farmer's market, then came home to make coffee and a breakfast burrito. I need to finish drinking coffee so I can go to the salon and get my hair cut.

Well, fuck. Just got a call from my mom, who'd been called by the sheriff in Tuolumne. My dad has been backpacking this week and apparently went off by himself yesterday and didn't come back. So he's missing. Gah. I can't think of anything helpful to do. Mom said not to come out error till later, so I guess I will try to clean my house but gah.
