In weird genealogy news I feel uncomfortable posting on Facebook, my stepmother is the 3rd cousin once removed of (drumroll): Madonna.
Apparently Madonna's mother was French-Canadian.

It's raining heavily. The hibernating grass is starting to green up. The willow trees are looking a little fuzzy. But no daffodils yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I do think guns should be regulated at least as much as cars are. I don't see how that's not like, common sense.
Agreed.
Apparently Madonna's mother was French-Canadian.
Like all the best people! In related news, I had tourtiere (French-Canadian pork pie) for dinner.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Matilda's school had a big walkout, and she participated. She said about two-thirds of her English class walked out. (The teacher was very supportive.)
JZ posted a video of her old high school, the Ruth Asawa School of the Arts (SOTA) where the student protest was very movingly sung. ("You're not alone...") Theater kids to the rescue!

Our wings are not tired.
As a child of the 60s it impresses me beyond words to see the protest participation from these kids. See also, BLM, Dreamers, Women. I really thought for a long time that the spirit of revolt and protest was gone. I'm encouraged.

"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
That's true. Whatever awfulness current politicians are dead set on inflicting on the country, it does seem that the younger generations are picking up the spirit of 60s and 70s social conscience.

I know it's the unpopular choice, but I love Logan on Gilmore Girls. And in my rewatch I'm on his first season and I love him so much. I want one.

Apparently my rapid decline into impostor syndrome and gloom today is related to the fact that my temperature is 100.1.
Also I am jealous of all your pies.
