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.
Remember in sex, lies & videotape when Andie Macdowell was telling her therapist how she couldn't stop thinking about the ships full of garbage with nowhere to take it? I have become her. And also, that was always a valid concern, wasn't it?
And I donated to Beto O'Rourke. It would be nice to have one senator who wasn't a shitbag distaster.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday JZ! Welcome to 50! (I turned 50 in April)
Happy Birthday JZ!
Surprisingly, Kennedy's news just makes me feel ragey and defiant. Nobody's going to save us. We've got to save ourselves.
A lot.
(I am saying this in the public-yet-not-whole-world forum of the Buffistas rather than in private because I suspect there are a number of people here for whom this is relevant, and we have good troll control.)
Jacqueline, I don't tell you this nearly enough, because I don't see you nearly enough, but:
You are one of the loveliest people I have ever met, and it is a positive joy to call you my friend. Thank you. I hope you have the happiest birthday ever.
::Echoing Karl:: (Thank you, Karl)
Also, (ahem) Dear Jaqueline, Sincerest Felicitations on the Anniversary of Your Natal Day!
Reviving a classic.
You know what was a bigger climb? The Civil Rights movement. It's doable. You can fight with all the government apparatus and justice and social order turned against you.
Eh, I feel like that battle's been ongoing and is being hard fought still. It doesn't feel an awful lot like a Mission Accomplished, with the defiantly unaddressed systemic inequities baked into the ole U. S. of A.
Basically, I am not feeling terribly optimistic about this dumpster fire of a country.
Happy Birthday, JZ!!!
