Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Squeaky toys are great because the don't require shouting or blowing into something to make noise. The more noise you can make without projecting your voice, the safer the protests are so long as people are taking appropriate safety measures.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Dang, my brother just told me he got tear gassed and shot with a rubber bullet at the Portland protest last night. I'm actually still glad he went but yikes, another thing to worry about.
oh, -t, I hope he's okay.
I am thinking ahead to what's going to get me out in the streets. I will keep going to local BLM protests, but they are low-key and non-violent here. I can't help but thing this shit is going to keep getting worse and we're going to need to get out there before November to get that gluttonous toad out of the white house.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Alas, I do not have my full-sized keyboard to see how the keys are labelled. My laptop definitely just says "Enter" but from that write-up is actually Return? I don't know. I think I understand the reverse polarity vs 180 out of phase thing better (and I don't really understand that but I think at one point in my life I would have...)

Our wings are not tired.
Scary to think about for me.
I would think. I'm glad he is okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am thinking ahead to what's going to get me out in the streets.
Yeah, my problem is being anxious about taking public transportation to get to where protests are happening, but that's got to be worth it at some point.
And if there is a call for "moms," I would definitely go, because I know what they actually mean is middle-aged middle-class white women and I am that even without children.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Much health~ma for your aunt, Laura.
-t, glad your brother is okay.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Health~ma to your aunt, Laura.

Health~ma for your aunt, Laura, and yay for your son's new job!
t, I'm glad your brother is okay.
TCG has a meeting tonight. So, I decided to make an easy dinner of frozen pizza and frozen sweet potato fries. ltc hated everything. TCG just left, and now we're watching The Sword in the Stone because it was my turn to pick our movie. I don't think she likes this either. Mom fail.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think I will want a hard helmet head covering and eye protection before going to any protest. I have a big face mask thing from working with chemicals that I think I would wear also (this would keep me from yelling). I do not think I would do a sign, so my hands would be free.
