Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And Bannon's being charged in New York, which means Trump can't pardon him, right? I will take Bannon going to jail as the first step of many.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
He's being charged in a Federal court, the SDNY. Which means that Trump can and will pardon him, eventually.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Except he probably won't be tried and convicted by the end of the year, no? KNOCK ON WOOD

Our wings are not tired.
I know he will pardon a very long list of people, and try and pardon himself. This nightmare is not close to being over.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Ugh. I managed to fuck things up today before even waking up.
Gud, unless you are stabbing people in your sleep, I'm going to say you didn't fuck anything up.
You are a good, kind, caring person. I wish people closer to you understood that.

The president can issue a pardon before conviction. See, Ford pardoning Nixon.
We will have students in classes on campus starting on Monday, and it is going to be a mess. I am trying to protect my staff as best as I am able, but it is really, really difficult when the Powers That Be care first about making it look like everything is a-okay and safe rather than actually making it safe. Signed, 78,000+ sq feet and only allowed 2 bottles of disinfectant from the U. (I bought some on my own dime for my staff, see also wipes which the U is not supplying at all, and hand sanitizer because the U's dispensers are sometimes empty with *no* students on campus).
