"Donnie, Donnie, but see the thing is, if you break your shiny toy, there aren't any more toys. Or a toybox. Or a toy store. Take a deep breath, back away from the big red button. Here go break some brown people's lives, instead. That'll be fun, right?"
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am going to do some research and I am only going to buy female artists, authors for the next year or so unless I know the people personally. Female owned businesses are going to get my business. Male POC if I know their stances may get my business, but I am feeling strongly anti-patriarchy across the board.
One of the male activists I follow on Twitter was encouraging 3rd party voting for weeks if not months and today he is blaming HRC and DNC for results.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just started ranting and raving in a meeting about the new FLSA regulations, so probably I shouldn't reply to any emails that are making me mad today.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I hate to say it, but I'd rather swallow the horror of Pence than the horror of a nuclear war. It's like Death is Not an Option, only in this case, it is.
This is where I'm at, too.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

Fuck this year. Seriously. The wife just got rear-ended on the Interstate. She and my son are fine, thank God, (though she thinks she might have whiplash and/or a concussion) but her car is a total loss. I'm waiting for the tow truck driver to get them home and her to call me so we can figure out what the hell we're doing to do.

Oh no! I'm glad they weren't seriously injured!
I got the opposite sort of news awhile ago. A teenage boy I indirectly know here in Belgium fell down some stairs two and a half weeks ago. He died and was revived, but he's been in a coma since with so much swelling they've been unable to do an MRI to test his brain function. And today, miraculously, he woke up. Completely unexpectedly.

Yeah, I was thinking about not getting mine replaced when it's due (which is probably this year), because I'm 45, but NO WAY am I taking that risk now. I will go for IUD #3.

That's wonderful. Glad someone got some good news today.
