Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Bev, I also figure I'm cooking any meat, not eating it raw. That would destroy the virus even if it were on the meat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, this might sound crazy, but: I'm so bored of my house, I bought a scented candle, and I think it's helping! I have not traditionally been a scented candle person, but Jess (?) sent me one through Secret Holiday Gifter one time, and I got a cinnamon one for Christmas, but I feel like it's too late for cinnamon, but I liked the idea, so I bought a Yankee candle alongside some other stuff I was ordering, and it's a nice change to my senses!

Jesse a small wax melter might be a thing to look into. Now I am scent LOVER, so I have 4 in my house and at least 1 on almost all the time. The nice thing is getting to change the scents when you want.

Maybe I will turn into a scent person.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Beverly is an excellent moral compass.

One of the Mexican food carts near my house was doing a $1 street taco special for Cinco de Mayo, and while the general US celebration of CDM get some side-eye from me in light of what marking the actual occasion of the Battle of Puebla, I really can't argue with delicious $1 tacos. I rationalize that, you know, I would have bought the tacos even if it wasn't a holiday!

My ballot is due 5/19 and I really need to sit down and go through the whole thing. It been a very extensive local primary in Portland Metro, and I haven't had any damn spoons to spare for following the election. Notably all the of the library buildings are shuttered for quarentine, but the libraries are also accessible places to drop off your ballot. There are 22 library branches all over Metro, so that's a big impact. We're all hoping it doesn't affect the voter turnout -- that maybe instead, because everyone's sheltered, they'll actually look at their ballot and drop it in the mail!

I will probably drop mine off at the Elections building dropbox, but it's a little comforting knowing I have enough time to stick it in the mail, too.

I assure you: it does not sound crazy.

I have two full size scentsy burners and two small plug in ones in the bathrooms. I am currently in love with this one, but no other bathroom, so no need. [link]

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

esse, you can drop your ballot in the 24 book drop of at least some of the Multnomah libraries; the county's ballot dropsite page has a list. I really appreciate the fact that Oregon makes it easy to vote!
