The head of ltc's school called, and she is taking it seriously. All parties have been spoken to and ltc know she can go to her teacher if it happens again. I think the school has concentrated so long on getting kids to work out their differences amongst themselves that it never occurred to her to tell her teacher. However, this was not a simple case of sharing a toy etc, and both TCG and I told ltc that no one gets to speak to her that way.
Mal: Does she understand that? River: She understands. She doesn't comprehend.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{Pix}}} As I said elsewhere, my doomscrolling got a lot doomier. I'm glad you thought to come here for refuge! Do you want commiseration or distraction (or both (or anything))?

I'm glad they are taking it seriously, sj, and sorry it happened.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Pix, I'm NGL. I had a thought that it sure would be terrible if Thomas caught COVID at the swearing in ceremony. Just awful.

Kavanaugh and Thomas can share an ICU room.

I am finding online puzzling to be really soothing and helpful in taking my mind off of all of the awful from time to time. I even went so far as to subscribe to the NYT puzzle/games section. Anyone else do the Spelling Bee, by chance? I do all of them, but I'm really digging the Spelling Bee right now.
Tonight I'm doing phone (well, text) banking for the first time. I am kicking myself for waiting so long to do it. So, the rest of the afternoon I will spend reading up on what I need to know to be useful.

I was starting to feel better about the election, but SCOTUS news is making me start to think that a whole lot of votes may not be counted. I'm back to thinking that Trump will win the election via court decisions despite losing the vote soundly.

I could see that with one or two states, Gud. With six or more states to fight I see his legal staff fleeing like the rats they are knowing they won't get paid. Let's focus on the win being so overwhelming that the GOP faithful turn their backs on him.

Good grief. Double post.

I want a fucking blue tsunami next week that drowns those GOP motherfuckers. I want the Oval Office, House, and Senate to be overwhelmingly blue, and fuck every goddamn one of those motherfuckers. I'd prefer that that zombie-ass motherfucker McConnell lose, but if not, I'll love it so much to watch him deal with Warren as Senate Majority Leader (unless she ends up in Biden's Cabinet).
It's going to take so long to repair the damage these motherfuckers have done to the country, but with a Democratic-controlled House, Senate, and Oval Office, they have a shot at doing it.
I want that SO much.
