Finally: Sen. Heidi Heitkamp says that she will vote against confirming Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
One down.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh yay!
Askye, I would not have been able to stop myself from saying (ETA: brightly, politely, and with a smile), "Well, to tell the truth, ma'am, I don't see you or your kids sitting down at an industrial sewing machine. And I don't think you or any of our customers would be willing to pay the prices we'd have to charge to fund the salaries, insurance, and paid vacation for the local, domestic, US citizen employees to make these shoes right here in the US. So it's a real quandary, isn't it?"
This is why I don't work retail anymore. I have no brain to mouth filter left.

I find as I get older, I get closer and closer to this.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Do I call Disney again and let them know it wasn't stolen after all, or do I just pick up the replacement MagicBand when I get to Florida?
I say just pick up the replacement MagicBand, but I haven't been to Disneyworld since they started using them.
(Please visit my spiritual home a few times for me.)
Did I mention here that Aldi is going to have a cheese Advent calendar this year?
There's an absinthe Advent calendar that I desperately want to try, but it's from the UK, and shipping is more than the absinthe itself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, I downloaded that Trivia game last night. Hopefully I did the referral code thing right.
Woot!
I have been having thoughts about all the other posts, too! But mostly all I can say right now is: wine and cheese and chocolate sounds nice.
Off to meet strangers who are already in my apartment...

I mostly kept quiet and then she said (about the others we had and Nike) "this is going to sound rude but there is no other way to say it , they are all made by the same little chinks".
You know, I think there are actually plenty of other ways to say that. Starting with using words that aren't horrible racist slurs. The more you know! (Ugh, askye. Sorry you had to deal with that.)

I was - years ago - in a store and a man (older, white) came in and refused to be waited on by an African American woman. The manager stepped up and said that she was the person free and it was her or no one. (He left, choosing no one.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Urgh. This sham of a FBI investigation pisses me off. I don't know why I thought it would be any different.
(It isn't even a yam sham.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, askye. That's an awful situation.

I had to put myself on a news blackout today. Twitter was okay, but no reading articles.
