Tara ,'Empty Places'
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.
Amy, I also believe I have a sinus infection, so fistbump of miserable solidarity?
This is super petty, but someone just cancelled a meeting on me at the last minute. I 100% didn't want to go to this meeting, but I'm irritated because I had to get up early to catch the 6am shuttle for it.
I have a list of organizations to donate to that are providing support to migrants in detention, so I'll send money their way later today.
The only thing worse than early morning meetings is having them canceled after you already got up for them.
I have a friend who teaches at U of Amsterdam, Nora. He loves it, not least because the US is so fucked.
I just can't even address the current awfulness. Scrolling through FB seriously leaves me unable to function. I'm going to try very har to get to a protest on the 30th. I need to budget for donating.
ltc is cracking me up. I don't understand not liking polenta, though. Yum!
Have already had my morning meeting and it was smooth and easy. Yay!
ltc is her mama's child, at least wrt to expressing herself. ;-)
::miserable fistbumps of solidarity to shrift::
I wish I could donate to help in some way. My budget still makes me my number one charity, though. Which is why I wish I could go actually DO something.
Aw, Good Things! I miss that.
I am not sure if it is a sign of things to come, but in our local runoffs for city councils and school boards last week, the dem and progressive backed candidates won. Candidates backed by the super regressive Empower Texas group were defeated. It gives me some hope.

I have found a worse thing: meeting was rescheduled for later in the day without anyone actually informing me of that, so now I have to attend it ANYWAY.
Aw, Good Things! I miss that.
It's still there! With less news than ever, but a constant stream of puppies and whatever. [link]
The contractor working on our mandated earthquake retrofit has encountered some sort of difficulty because I've just been treated to a Tourettes like spew of "fucking motherfuckers!" for about five minutes non-stop now.
I am hoping the foundation has not split in half and we aren't going to be swallowed into the earth.

Look, at this point, the C.H.U.D.s are better than the goddamn GOP. Embrace the C.H.U.D.s.
"fucking motherfuckers!"
That's my mostly internal monologue, whether I'm working or reading the news, so. I'm just glad a coworker is about to be out of the office for ten days, because she is making me crazy. And if I can't give constructive feedback, I just need to suck it up. (I should give constructive feedback, but today is not that day.)
