That's awesome, Shir. These days in the US Pride celebrations often seem somewhat over, like a party for straight people the same way Cinco de Mayo has become one. But it's so important to remember other places face many more struggles. Best of luck.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Shir!
Speedy recovery, Gud.
Today is Gary and my anniversary, so when he gets home, we're all going out to dinner.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Walking home from work right now, I came across a group of people, and I said to myself, "Why are all these people wearing tweed in 80% humidity?" and then I remembered that Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is filming in my neighborhood.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
...have to go buy a car....
Me too.
Short story: morning commute traffic on the interstate last week, accident far ahead brought traffic to a standstill. Someone behind me didn't stop in time and I got shoved into the semi-trailer who was stopped ahead of me. Slow impact (perhaps 5 mph?) but it was enough to total my 2005 Kia Optima. No one was hurt. No damage to the semi-trailer or even its "bumper" -- which came *over* the top of my bumper, into my radiator and lights, failing to trigger the airbags. Take-away lesson: don't hit a semi-trailer from behind in a sedan, your airbags will likely not deploy, which at a higher speed could be very bad.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yikes, dcp. I'm glad no one was hurt.

Ouch, dcp. Glad you're okay. Good luck on the car hunt.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh jeez, dcp. Glad you're OK!

Happy Birthday, Shir! I hope it was a good one!
Happy Anniversary, Sheryl! I hope you're able to have a nice dinner with no toddler tantrums.
Yikes, dcp! I'm glad you're okay!
Gud, quick recovery~ma!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I echo everything sj just said.
then I remembered that Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is filming in my neighborhood
I'm not sure who is filming in my neighborhood, but they had a whole lot of gear in the funeral home behind my building today.
