Those are amazing. The OG nuclear family.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Tiny bit of housecleaning today. I'm gonna feed myself some dinner and then list things on ebay for the rest of the evening.

The Druid Hill Country Club swim is at Roosevelt, in Hampden, this weekend, because Druid is closed. I figured it'd be sparsely attended, and in the back of my head, I wondered something. The core, die hard CCers are mostly retired black folk.They are the heart of DHCC. Hampden, in their lifetime, has been a place they did not feel welcome (it's come up.)
There were 0 nonwhite ppl there this morning.
It could be a lot of other reasons, you know, but here? You have to WORK to ignore the ways white supremacy sneaks into everything. And many do.
And hey, a cop beat the shit out of another black man here today [link] & the Same old song & dance. I really think the BPD should be disbanded & LEOBR in MD revoked. (Edit to get acronym right.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Well, fuck, sarameg, that is terrible. All of it.
I see what you did there, aurelia. Well played.

I love the people of this city & the city as it is a whole of those people, am blown away at the resourcefulness, but the institutions are broken, if not at times deliberately parasitic, & hold it down.

My current favorite stupidly entertaining big show is Ultimate Beastmaster on Netflix. It's an obstacle course competition with teams from China, Italy, France, USA, India, and Spain. I really enjoy obstacle courses, but the most fun is the various announcer teams from the countries. Italy and France are jinxing each other and poking spikes into voodoo dolls, the Indians are gorgeous, and the girl on the Chinese team is simply adorable. The American announcers are the only ones with two guys, and there's some obnoxious USA chanting and douchebro-ery, but the patheticness of it is certainly obvious.

I have had a lovely vacation in Colorado with my siblings, including a great deal of mountain biking. But I'm ready to be home, and instead our flight was cancelled and my SIL had to make another round trip to the airport to fetch us. Cross your fingers that the mechanic shows up tomorrow morning and we make both our flights!

Flight~ma, Consuela!
I got back from MI yesterday evening. While it's nice to be back in my space, with my cat, I already miss being near my family and the lakes.
