Compassionately intolerant

gave myself the gentlest of days. No news. Cagney playdate. Unfettered eating. Long nap. So nice.

A friend who works for WPost came by to chat and said something really interesting.

A reporter told her that the vast majority of the crowd was school groups. Tweens and teens, mostly.

Sure enough, as we were having tea by my front window, two different groups came by...perhaps 30 kids, with 2 adults toddling off to the bus parking lot.

Most of the other folks on the street were obviously demonstrators.

I can totally see school groups getting free bus rides to fill the crowd.

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

I'm gonna say giving out a friend's contact info, much less offering her as a ride, to someone who you don't know well enough to get their name right is frowned upon. By me, anyway, I frown.

Excellent, Sheryl!

Not so excellent, aurelia. Begone, migraine!

I bought the stuff I needed to make soup but now I think I'll have popcorn for dinner and save the soup making for Sunday.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Besides the bartender, I'm the only person in this bar who isn't on a tinder date.

Well, put that in your Yelp review.

I did a bit of work on your Wordpress site. Hopefully that will help to get you going. I can help a bit more.

So me and childhood friend are hitting it off wonderfully, as if it hasn't been 25 years and it wasn't her older sister I was best friends with! I think I'm keeping her. One of the things she keeps coming back to is that she had to come because of her sons; she wants them to see this is not acceptable and set an example for them, to fight for women and equality and justice even when it is inconvenient (though she's pretty stoked about sleeping in Sunday and Monday. She's a sahm who believes in a good breakfast and has kids my nephews' age...she gets up early and does epic breakfasts. Here, it's gonna be sleep ins and Starbucks after tomorrow.)

Her flight from ABQ was pretty much all women going to the march and one flummoxed dude. The SW crew was all in, down to pink lighting (yeah, I know) and free drinks. And she made a lot of new friends on the flight.

I can't help but wonder if this was her flight: [link] She did get interviewed by media and agreed to have picture taken.

Sorry you couldn't make it, aurelia. It was a fun and odd show. Fire eaters, a magician, and belly dancers of varying genders and body types, which was awesome. The person who invited me to the show did a Fury Roadesque belly dance with fire. It was really cool to see people so creative and open. And a bunch of money raised for the ACLU.
