“Not dead yet!”

This reminds me, did you all see the clip of the news guy where the Trump support comes up behind him and asks if he's "the real news or the fake news" and the reporter just says "Fuck off!" and goes back to camera? If no, I can try to find it again.

I saw! It was a Long Island reporter, wasn’t it?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Here you go! (Though he claims he said "Buzz off".)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So delightful.

I have a toaster oven baking sheet that has outlasted the toaster oven by a good 15 years. It’s probably my mist used pan. For actual baking you want a bigger one for much other cooking or reheating for one or two people it’s just right.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Isn’t giving other people money to contribute politically kind of illegal? [link]

Our wings are not tired.

Mostly I expect both sides in the Georgia races will have an overabundance of cash. The citizens will be overwhelmed with commercials, texts, calls, and knocks on their doors. It is going to be crazy.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Courtney Milan and other Romancelandia writers are doing a fundraising auction starting tomorrow. [link] The amount of money coming in from any and everywhere will make the non-GA nature of any of our donations fade into the overall noise, so we might as well give straight to the candidates or ActBlue.

"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

A write-in vote for "none of the above" can't win a runoff election, can it?

In very good news, I finally got to bring my cat Molly home from the pet hospital. (In less good news her final bill came to just shy of $1,250, so I guess not going on vacation this year wasn't such a bad thing after all...)

Thrive to spite them

I have to stay off Twitter for awhile , I read what is going on and then get more anxious.

I tried to limit who I was following so it wouldn't be politics but it doesn't matter bc everyone retweets political stuff.

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

tumblr asked this astronaut "Star Wars or Star Trek" and he answered Firefly:

Aw, that’s sweet. I find his seeming need to explain “There’s this show called Firefly. It was on for one season...” just adorable

Glad Molly is home, Matt! Sorry so expensive.
