-t, please be safe, if you feel like maybe you should go, just go. Better to leave when you didn't need to than be caught wishing you had!
I'm so upset about the wildfires. And everything else. It really feels like the world is ending.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Gud, the Virginia state campaigns are distressing me too! Northam (D) is the best choice and the better man, but he's not dynamic and quick enough in person, and Gillespie (R) is playing to the bigot base.

Sometimes it just feels like the R base is like, 'okay this guy may be terrible on a lot of things, but he supports gun rights so I'm going to vote to for him' and the D base is like 'well she's on my side on the issues, but her brand of feminism isn't quite as intersectional as it should be so I can't get behind her'.

You're completely right. R's seem to be one-issue voters who will get behind anyone who supports that issue, no matter what else they also support. Dems seem to be one-issue voters who won't support anyone who doesn't support their issue exactly the way they want it supported.

I am so fucking glad I got back on antidepressants. Because this shit is not letting up.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hi, y'all.
-t, I'm glad you're okay. And Zen. And everyone else.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
and the D base is like 'well she's on my side on the issues, but her brand of feminism isn't quite as intersectional as it should be so I can't get behind her'.
Damn, that is my dream D base. In my region it's more like 'well, she keeps talking about distracting trivia like keeping abortion legal and saving the ACA and listening to black people instead of understanding that everything is really all about class warfare and promising to spork all the bankers to death, so I can't get behind her.'

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gud, I keep seeing the nasty ads for Gillespie on tv because I'm in MD. Can't hit the mute button fast enough.

I do not approve of fire. Fires should stop.
In our continuing annoying tech saga, I just showed up to get people dressed at 6:30 for a 7:00 go and found out they had made a change so they could do more tech- an 8:00 go. They didn't tell anyone in costumes or wardrobe from the designer down.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm just so tired of the Apocalypse, y'all. More fires this year than I ever remember. Plus the damned storms. Where's the reset button? Stay safe, -t!
I'm all for Fort Matt. Cleaning weapons, sharpening pencils, growing food, basic cooking, interpretive dance--what's not to love? Well, sushi. But I'll trade for someone else's tuna sandwich.
