Happy Birthday, -t!!! I'm sorry about the work stress.

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

I closed out the evening with loaded tiny tacos from Jack in the Box because sometimes I have the palate of a stoned teenager. It was pretty darn tasty. Thank you all for sharing my birthday journey through chain restaurants.

What is even happening?

Good for you!

I kid you not: they're going to open a DOJ investigation on whoever the Dem candidate is, before the Democratic convention even starts. And there's nothing we can do about it.

YUP and I'm sick about it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Coolness, Hec! Hey, I dunno if you've met him, but I know the A's unofficial/official historian -- he's my niece's BF's father, a long-time Oakland resident, former llama trek guide, and amateur historian. Wrote a book a few years back about sports history in Oakland. He's done some work for the A's in the last few years, and knows a lot. I can hook you up if you haven't already met him...

Very thoughtful! Good to see your pixels here too!

Herding cats for fun

I have found a blessed source of imPOTUS relief people at DH's work are crazy for: Randy Rainbow! See the Cheeto mercilessly lambasted musical style by a fabulous gay man. Don't skip the one about Cruella deVos.

Take two and post about it in the morning.

Happy Birthday -t!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I got up at 7:30 - trying to get myself back on a schedule.

I found jobs to apply for yesterday, but did not complete even one application. Back to it today.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Shir, I posted photos of my dress on FB then realized you're not on there! Oops.

Epic, if it's not too much to ask for, I'd love to see them in another way.

Happy belated birthday, -t!

I cannot continue to pull it out of my ass at the last minute like this, but on the other hand this seems to be how I work, so do I just roll with it? I just asked for an extension on my peer feedback, and then as soon as I did that, was able to complete the assignment in like, two hours.

I am, too, struggling. What I have learned that is I need certain balance of sleep and time for my head and thoughts to wander so that I can focus on school tasks. What is that balance when the workload changes from week to week, I've yet to find. Right now my biggest problem is getting up on time when my days are more "relaxed" (only 4-5 things to take care of during the day/after work). It means I have very little free time left to myself in the evening.

Our wings are not tired.

Suela, the news of the world, and the country, and the current administration in particular, is also killing me. Horrifying

Yes, just when you think he can't top himself he pushes it even further. He still has 11 months to do damage. Serious damage.

Separate post for delightful stuff! (I've cut way back on FB so choose to celebrate here)

Maria and Pix are the birthday twins today! It is more than a double delight that these two examples of awesomeness get to share their birthday. Happy birthday!!

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