Consuela, I hope the biopsy results come back with good news.

That's cool. How did it turn out? Was the crowd a mix?

It was! It was informational, letting people know who the board is and how it works and a bit about the challenges it faces (lack of funding, mostly,and people not really understanding what it is). I left with a lot more questions and am trying to figure out what I can do to help them.

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

I cannot deal with my mother telling me that I just need to get over the election because of ltc. ltc is a large part of the reason I'm so upset.

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

On the other hand when people are scared for their lives

Full fucking stop. This is why I am not here for wound-licking or examining the whys right now. It is so so tone-deaf. We should be discussing how to step up and protect the marginalized people who are currently in actual physical danger. Lives are more important than figuring out why this happened right now. There will be time to debate and strategize.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My focus is stopping the white nationalists. Rehashing the primaries is wasted energy.

Eventually we'll have to look back and establish what worked, what didn't, and why. I don't think that has to happen right now.

The next election (if there is one) will be totally different. Trump basically went against everything learned in the Romney election and won.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The other night I was leafing through a knife catalog for gift-giving ideas and ran across this: [link] I think I may have found my Christmas present to myself. Because if I have to defend myself against newly-emboldened gay bashers, why not do it with a sparkly rainbow knife?
