Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I waited too long to get lunch, now I'm hungry and cranky and I can't decide what I want.

'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"

I wonder if I rent a bicycle, how far I could get riding it into the Market Basket before someone noticed? If I timed it just right during kickoff....

Our wings are not tired.

I filed my income taxes! I got everything I paid back because of the car purchase, but I hadn't actually paid all that much. Oh well.

I'm sorry you're sick, Gud. I'm glad you can see that your wife's complaints are not accurate. I hope you feel better soon, and she lays off and chills out.

I'm not planning on watching the game, but I had salt and vinegar wings for lunch because they were on sale. Yum!

So my favorite restaurant got death threats because someone was butthurt about a poster of this [link] (owner is friends with ilegal mezcal.) Word got around, media followed up. Tons of people came out to support yesterday [link]

Of course, it also means the internet trolls are out. I stopped by today, with cookies, & she cried on my shoulder. It's a lot of extremes of emotion to process. It made her laugh when I gestured to the room full of people from many races & languages & backgrounds 'this dream is the asshole's nightmare. And we've got full bellies.' Thing is, I'm sure the asshole just saw the poster in the window, cause if they'd made it inside, they woulda fled. It's is a fucking shrine to feminism, chingonas (that word features prominently in the decor,) pro-immigrant & all things Mexican. Hell, the assholes probably had to google pendejo.

Anyway, I was heartened to see at least 4 newbies come in BECAUSE they'd heard about the threat & also see a lot of her other regulars come in with words of support in addition to orders & taking selfies with her.

And now I have a quart of posole & a tamale that I'm still too full to eat (one sope asada & one al pastor & atole (think hot horchata) fills me up all day. It's not a ton of food, it's just filling.)

* also, I worry about any customers who are undocumented, who might not feel safe anymore because of the spotlight.

Aw. I'm glad they are getting support, and I hope nothing too bad happens in retaliation.

Hey, does anyone happen to know if a "passport card" is valid ID for domestic air travel? I didn't realize I had one, but I guess I do.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Yes. I think it'll get you into Canada, too.

Rest up and stay hydrated, Gud.
