Our wings are not tired.

I haven't enjoyed Facebook this much in years. The memes today are priceless. Upside amongst quite a number of upsides. Ahhh, I needed this. Thank you Mr Orangeman. Now I just need a few more of the Judiciary committee to get sick.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Not only are the rallies cancelled/in limbo, but Trump (as of an hour or so ago) hasn't tweeted since last night.

Which leads me to believe he's not 'faking' being sick just to get out of the next debate, because the man doesn't have the self-control to stay quiet that long.

It is a really long time to not hear from him. Maybe someone did snag his phone while he was in a weakened state.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I generally try to practice compassion, but I do hope that man suffers. And if he just shuts up and stays out of sight for a while, that might go a long way.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I have a non-Roomba that I still haven't set up - don't ask how long - in my defense, the house is so cluttered, I'm afraid it won't be able to get anywhere. Which, now that I think about it, as a defense does not actually make me look better, I suppose.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

If my Bible-thumping relatives say anything to me about Twitler being the "chosen one" I'm going to point out that he was struck with a plague within a couple days of refusing to condemn white supremacy and calling out to gun-toting Neo-Nazis to stand by for him, and how I recall a few precedents for similar things happening to wicked rulers in the Old Testament.

Apparently Jesus said "Look, I'm all for forgiveness and everything, but even I only have so many cheeks to turn!" and woke his dad up from a peaceful nap.

Yes, I hate that my policy of never wishing anyone ill has become a thing of the past for the last 4 years. At least I don't wish him dead (because it might garner GOP sympathy for the election, not because I've improved as a person, but, hey, baby steps!)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ET - my plan re: clutter and the non-roomba is to get one room cleared and set the machine loose in there - and hope that inspires me to get other rooms ready. The kitchen is pretty ready as-is.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Another difference between me and Trump? My latest COVID test was negative.

I have a number of blockades to keep my non-roomba from getting stuck under things. It's a bit of a process, but worth it.

Woo for negativity!
