the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

And have you seen the suspect's van?

I was hoping that it would have Trump and Putin airbrushed on the side, but this is pretty good, too.

Top Youth Soccer Recruits for Trump? That's...oddly specific.

Also, those stickers seem so over the top that, back in 2016, I would have said surely they're either a parody, or someone trying way too hard to frame a Trump supporter and failing because they went over the top. But since this is the darkest possible timeline, those fucking stickers look about right for the unhinged people who support Trump. (And, apparently, their kids who play soccer.)

There's a van that parks in front of a house I drive past on my way home that outdoes that. Full-vehicle wrap proclaiming the glory of Trump, beams of glory, rippling flags, that orange face, and on the back door there's a picture of Trump and Milana that would do well on a flag in a Soviet May Day Parade.

I like my car too much to sideswipe it.

What is even happening?

Yeah, the whole thing would have been way too OTT on Earth-that-Was.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Not just Florida, y'all -- Plantation, Florida, because in the Trump-Is-POTUS AU, nothing is too on the nose.

It's not just the darkest timeline, it's the darkest poorly-written Trump fanfic timeline.

Our wings are not tired.

So obviously the dude is really a big ole libtard just pretending to be a deplorable to sabotage the righteous right.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

My non-NT mind is stuck on "blue tarp," which I hear a lot. Fiber-reinforced plastic (as opposed to outdated canvas) tarpaulins come in silver, orange, and green, that I'm aware of. Probably beige or something, as well. Is there some rule that says one has to specify the color when mentioning use of a tarp?

Laura, already seeing that on my Facebook feed. Grr.

hip deep in pie

So I woke this morning with about 30 flea bites, mainly on one part of my neck, and about a dozen or so in my cleavage. I kind of suspected Oz might have fleas because I had the odd bite here and there lately, but I've never found any evidence of any on him or anywhere else. Oh boy is it going to be a fun night of laundry and vacuuming.
