We are supposed to drive an hour this evening to go to a cousin's birthday dinner, but we are also under a flood watch. I'm a little twitchy.
I don't know what to say to you, Gud. Thank you, or I hear you, or I share your pain. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with people. Particularly with old white Republican men, though I know there are also women (probably white women) out there saying the same things. It's horrible. I'm so angry.
Sometimes I get to take a random walk for my job, including this morning (I had to take pictures of something to show someone), and I put on podcasts, and went and got a pretzel on my way back, and I highly recommend this kind of addition to one's day!
The sad thing is, like Gud, I knew a lot of good guys in high school. But I also knew a lot of guys who would do something like find a drunk girl passed out at a party and take turns humping her. Not every man is a predator, no, but there is nothing in place in our society that teaches them to be otherwise.
And the idea that my daughter is hearing things like "Boys will be boys" and "It was all just in fun" is heartbreaking and infuriating.
Maria, how did it go yesterday?
Very well! Discussions will be continuing, but the response was really positive.
Healing~ma, Zen.
Woo! Will keep the ~ma heading out.
Happy healing, Zen. May thy bones stay put together the way the surgeon intended this time. Hope the kitties go into nurse mode and purr a lot.
I have one sitting on my feet right now AIFG.
Glad to hear it, Maria!
Yay random walk!
Hahaha I can hear someone in the warehouse singing that Friday song that was a Youtibe sensation back in the day. Day made.
Zen, I hope you heal up well!
Gud, you are a good egg, and we need more men like you in the world.
My nemesis is annoying me and I can't tell if I'm just being picky or if she actually did something wrong. Bleah.
Great. NYT is reporting that Rosenstein floated the idea of wearing a wire around Trump and possibly invoking the 25th. Any chance Trump waits until Monday to fire him, or can we measure the time in hours?
How has he managed to avoid getting fired until now? It's remarkable, in a way.
