No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I turned on the radio to music and turned it up so I cannot hear his goddamn computer and hopefully it drowns it out for him. No one is talking to me, like at all. They know.

Vibrating with rage is a thing.

And, in Cincinnati the murder trial of the cop who shot an unarmed black man in a traffic stop is scheduled to end today! There's no way that could end badly...

Oh lord.

This whole thing is just such a shitshow. I can't read the news I can't take it. FB is just making me depressed because I'm only using the crying icon. I don't want to think about any of this. Trying to do work, only sort of succeeding.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

It totally is.

The latest post(as of this date) on cleolinda.tumblr.com has a bunch of links for crisis centers, self-help pages, calming and cute things, and angsty things.

Our wings are not tired.

I haven't turned on the tv since 2am. I told DH to cancel the cable. We talked and have decided we have to focus on ourselves, our health, our business, selling the house. No more watching news for a while. I made it too important and now I am hollowed out. I'm focused on getting out of Florida now. My mom is gone and I can't live where half the people think that Trump makes a good choice for president. It isn't an extremist position, or new, there is just nothing to keep me here anymore.

May I suggest Massachusetts?

I don't know how to reconcile that with the huge lines reported both at early voting and yesterday. I know we lost 800 or so polling places since the VRA was gutted, but damn.

Those Insane Early Voting Lines Were a Direct Result of Republican Voter Suppression

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I think I need to take a break from the news and probably from social media as well. Read some books, play with ltc, and catch up on some fluffy tv. I've actually been thinking of doing nothing that for a while. I'll likely at least stick around the TV threads here.

Punishingly Intricate

A house 2 doors down from us went on the market this week, Laura. We're sad to be losing some great neighbors one of whom is also a "Laura." FATE!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Missed HRC, now listening to the President.

I don't even know how to respond to the casual "Hey how's it going?" that doesn't expect an actual answer. Not well, my friends, not well for anyone.

Yeah, I just had that conversation with the guy watching me swipe my ID at the elevator.

Though the one that really punches me in the gut is - if there is some way to impeach Trump or get him to resign, then we get Pence. Who....I can't decide which one would be worse for the country. Both terrify me.

I think Pence would be worse. The whole thing is horrifying.
