Our wings are not tired.

Sorry, meara. I am quick with the unfriend button these days. Zero tolerance. Very rarely I will get into a bit with strangers on comment sections, but come to my senses and disengage. Trying to not waste my energy on changing people and working on getting sane people, like the young people in my life, to vote. Too many of them didn't in 2016.

Yeah, it just disappoints me so much that not only does he feel that way but he feels it so strongly he has to post about it and defend it! And then when I argued with him he was like "well anyone who sleeps with men raise your hand" and I said "will anyone who gets to not think about men, because they don't sleep with them, raise their hand? I wish"

Wow. I wish people would stop surprising me. I keep reminding myself that I know lots of truly wonderful sane people, bunches of them here, and these shitheads are surely the vocal exceptions. (I have to say I enjoy watching my words change after I post) If only there were a Good Place filter that would obliterate ignorant posts!

What is even happening?

Meara, that stinks. Thank you for reminding me I do not miss Facebook at all.

Laura, how is your sister-in-law doing?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

That's pretty epically obnoxious, meara.

Can't keep her down! She still has to take drugs for a long time, but she is back to work.

Sending out ~ma to Maria tonight, with bunches more going out tomorrow. Let us know!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ugh, meara.

Back at work. Not quite "alas" but....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My "friend" at Sweetgreen just asked me where I'm from. (And by "friend" I mean, the woman who makes my lunch at least once a week.) I said her and asked why she asked, but she didn't say anything. Now I'm so curious why she was asking!! What is her story in her head about me??


meara - Sep 20, 2018 6:32:21 am PDT #29741 of 30002

Lol, Jesse! Now I want to know too?

Ugh. Spent $2.75 to take the bus to the doctor, $30 copay, to say "I need blood drawn for this insurance form" and now a $13 Lyft home (don't have time for the bus). And have to hope they do it correctly, or I may have to deal with this form again, Monday...

How long can you walk around as a Towering Rage Inferno before you actually morph into the Hulk? Asking for me.
