Yay, Calli!
I totally need to donate to the SPLC.

I donated to the Environmental Defense Fund today, and my acknowledgement email said someone had matched it 2-for-1. Which was unexpected, but nice!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
ALso, I have to thank Steph for her facebook link to the little kitten called "Squee"! Squee is very calming.
Squee is unreasonably cute. (This is my nun friend who fosters kittens, in addition to having 3 cats of her own. She's also an Army veteran -- she was in the Army before she became a nun. I think she must have the most fascinating stories about her life. Also, she loves Hello Kitty.)

lisah, jump in please, if you can.
I can't right now but I'll try to put a coherent thought together and jump in later.

Yay, except apparently now it's going to be John Bolton?
It's like the best way to guess Trump's cabinet is to come up with the worst possible person to fill the post.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Social media is exhausting these days. There's too much noise. If this wasn't the only real way I could keep up with family in Europe, I'd have been long gone from FB.
I get that there are different ways to approach an issue, but JFC when people are scared for their lives... well that isn't the time to talk about how your candidate--who never made it out of the primary--would have kicked the opposition's ass.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! I mean, sob, but also ha.

Ugh. Gwen Ifill. That makes me unreasonably sad.

I haven't been at my computer for the last hour or so. I had to go rescue my mother from the grocery store. @@
edit: Jesse, what's going on in regards to the march? I'm out of the loop on that drama, but I have friends who wanted to participate.

I can't really tell. I jumped to your comments directly. I don't know if adding anything now would be helpful or just more words thrown into the void.
I'm trying to limit my time on social media because it's making me so anxious right now. But I want to stay connected, especially now, to my loved ones far and wide.
