At least they found that cop in Chicago guilty.
It's like we can have progress for women or minorities, but not both at the same time. And god help people who are both.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Kinda feels more like we can have crumbs but not progress right now. Not that the first conviction of a cop in 50 years in Chicago is nothing but, idk, it's one thing not being completely wrong.

Our wings are not tired.
Well they can, and probably will vote to impeach because that is the House and just a majority. But they (probably) could not get 2/3 of the Senate to convict. But a real trial would be interesting.

What is even happening?
I kind of want to burn down Yale. Is that wrong?
Don't quote me, but I think Yale (or the law school) came out against Kavanaugh, or at least in favor of a (you know, real) investigation.
I'm too angry to look it up though.

I kinda wanted to tell the ticket agent that I needed to check a second bag loaded with all of my rage, but she was too delighted by my "In Tacos We Trust" shirt and I didn't want to bring her down.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I went to CVS to pick up a prescription, and the person working at the pharmacy (pharmacy assistant? Not sure what the right title is) saw my name and said, "Oh! You should be in the White House! ... I bet you get that a lot, don't you?"

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
That's not the first time that's happened at that CVS, right?

Second time. Same pharmacy person. I've seen her a few times. She definitely remembers me -- she asked if I was feeling better, since last time she saw me, I was buying a whole ton of cold medicine and looked pretty miserable -- but she never remembers my name.

Thrive to spite them
There was a tiny anti Kavanaugh demonstration in front of our courthouse in town. I think there have been bigger ones but this seemed to be a spontaneous thing.
Someone locally is planning a weekend of healing. I guess they are calling it that so women can do spiritual healing, yoga various things to help deal with the stress.
M and I are leaving for the beach tomorrow. We will have 6 whole days and 2 travel days and I am ready.
Work is stressful. No one is applying and we need about 7 people. I have no idea how we are going to cover our Christmas hours. And people are blatantly stealing from us but we are short handed so they get away with it. We don't see them but we are finding packaging left out in the open.
