No official word on casualties but a reporter there tweeted that at least some people are dead.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dammit, I was coming over here to share a dumb problem. Well, I'm going to anyway: I have been invited to tour a construction site tomorrow. You have to wear heavy pants and boots. It's going to be hot out tomorrow, and I may end up being too busy to go on the tour anyway. Should I just plan not to go, or should I risk being hot for no reason?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Plan to not go. Unless you are really interested in seeing the site, but it doesn't sound like you are.
I don't know how to react to shootings anymore. I'm just exhausted.

I am interested! But probably not tomorrow, I think you are right. Phew.

This one is really getting to me. I don't want to speculate before there's some real information, but I think everybody suspects the motive.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Jesse, can you wear regular work clothes, but bring boots and pants to change into should you decide to go?
I'm on the exhausted bench.
Y'all, I hate this. I've been an activist all my life. When I couldn't do things physically, I wrote, and I contacted people, I argued and encouraged, drove people to the polls, made signs, contributed.
I know this has been their plan since inauguration night, and I hate it's succeeded with me, but I just... I'm worn out. I've got no more reserves of outrage and...just rage. I'm hoping this hiatus I'm trying to take will help top up my reserve tank, because I really really hate feeling both apathetic and impotent to withstand and work for change.
Sorry. Barriers are falling, too.

I could, but that seems extra not-worth it. There will be another opportunity!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday David!
Going to Concertino this weekend, which is near Boston. We are driving. I hope we encounter less traffic than we did on our trip to CT.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Hec! Don't look at the news today, just play with your family and eat cake, okay?
