I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Now that I have watched (some not all) Community, I read the xkcd comic in Abed's voice.

The bright spot in all of this is that, while a crisis reveals who people are, sometimes "who they are" surprises you in a good way. Remember, there have been multiple law enforcement groups engaging with protestors and de-escalating. The county sheriff here in SA met with protestors, marched with them a ways, and promised the right to assembly would be protected.
Big tech companies making press releases may not be as substantive as we'd like, but even that much shows which way they think the wind is blowing.

Good choice, msbelle
We just got a curfew, so far just for tonight. The wording is trying pretty hard to say it's because of looting and not because of protests.
I wonder if this is going to disrupt our warehouse swing shift. Actually I think we have 3 shifts going. well, it does say people "going to work" are exempt, hopefully being indoors at work is ok also...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm working on sewing some masks for protestors, either here tomorrow or for someone to bring up to Columbus over the weekend. It's not much, but it's what I can do.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's a lovely thing to do, hil! We just got back from getting a bunch of plants for the yard. We chose by using our strict design rubric: is it less than $7?

Whew, end of the work day and I'm furloughed tomorrow. And it's another heat advisory, so not the funnest day off, but I think lying around not working while I melt will be nicer than working while I melt? Maybe I will go grocery shopping and see about donating blood...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I really love my neighborhood. Someone posted on the neighborhood FB group earlier today that she and her husband screenprinted a batch of Black Lives Matter signs and offered to drop them off at people's houses for anyone who wanted one. I replied maybe an hour ago, and she just dropped the sign off. So nice!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
As if life isn't stressful enough, Nova(our outgoing kitty) isn't feeling well. She's not eating much, if at all, and is having digestive issues. I don't know if it's something she ate that she shouldn't have, or the stress of dealing with a pre-schooler who keeps picking her up when she doesn't want to be picked up, or what. I'm dropping her off at the vet tomorrow morning so they can check her out, Poor kitty...
