Since I couldn't find any lavender at the nursery this morning, I bought an octet of blue ageratum plants to put in the new planter on my back deck. I'd bought them because they were small, pretty, and wouldn't poison the alley cats, but after the fact I've found out that they're easy to care for and their scent is offensive to mosquitoes—being used in commercial repellents. Jackpot!
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

So during the protests last night someone drove up to the building where I work and shot a contracted security guard. Not even a cop, just a contractor.
assholes.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Ugh. Mr. S's clock starting playing the nighttime routine around 5:15 this morning(he likes to randomly reset it), followed by the wakeup music. Of course, that meant that he starting yelling for someone to open his door around 6:30. He won't get dressed either. Bleah.

Oh, no, Consuela! I'm sorry to hear that.

Argh. The police used pepper spray at the protests at the Ohio Statehouse, and one state representative, a black woman named Joyce Beatty, was sprayed. There are a bunch of articles about it. This guy I know has been commenting on every one with something like, "As much as I'd like to pepper-spray Joyce Beatty, this is an awful escalation of violence by the police." So far, at least two people (me and another person that I saw) have called him out on this, that talking about how much he'd like to attack a black woman is really not what he wants to be doing if he's trying to claim that he's fighting violence against black people, and he's brushed us both off with, "Yeah, I get your point, but she's a total garbage human being."
Dude. You are not helping.

Two wrongs never have made a right. All of this is just painful.

In better news. Looks good for launch this afternoon.

He says that he values and appreciates my perspective, and he considers it a kindness and a gift of grace.

This is kind of a thing with him -- he'll listen to someone say stuff like that, and give a whole bit about thanking us for our emotional labor and sharing our perspective with someone whose privilege has made him unaware of certain things, and then he just keeps doing the same crap over again.

Woot! Spacey stuff! So nice to see it launch. All I could see from the driveway was the second stage momentary flash but watched it all on television.
