Yeah, I do not recommend the news right now.

Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm honestly worried we are in the definite slide into authoritarianism. I really think that there enough in GOP leadership that want something like this to happen that they will let it happen.
My dad had surgery today. Everything went well and he's already at home, so that is good.
Excellent news!
It looks like he has Lyme disease and his doctor has been dismissive of his symptoms since last fall, which is not good.
Ugh, not good at all. Are they going to give him an IV antibiotic treatment? I've watched a friend deal with chronic Lyme for years now and I'm really in the Nuke It From Space camp now.
They've got him on doxycycline for now, but IV antibiotic treatment is a possibility if that isn't effective.
I am wishing bad things on our leadership., They are vile vile people and I wish I could physically hurt them.
Are we watching the death of the Republic in real time?
Yes.
No, we really are. Get a crash cart in here. She's coding.
Health~ma to your dad, shrift.
Buffistas, as usual, all of my love. It is heartbreaking just to read the news from afar.
This is about six blocks away from me. The park where we hold trans pride. The park we play soccer in. Across from where I dance. A block from the police station. People are saying there's tear gas in their apartments. I've heard helicopters the last several hours. Can't hear anything else and not worried for my own safety at this point but it's still scary.
