Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I am heartbroken and angry on your behalf, U.S.ians. I am so sorry.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Late last night I started getting a fever and chills very late in the evening last night, and guess who has Covid?

Oh no! I am so sorry.

Separately, SCOTUS did it.

I feel like I can't breathe right now, I am in such a state of shock and horror. Not shock as in surprise, just...well it was nice having civil rights for a while, wasn't it?

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

sj, I hope the symptoms are short-lived and you recover quickly.

Same. I'm numb and I can see the panic attack on the horizon.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Heartbroken about this court. Damn Mitch Mcconnell to hell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I’m on Paxlovid. Damn the literature included is scary. I should probably not have read it.

Of course.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

On the one hand, I've already become terribly disillusioned about this country and my fellow Americans.

OTOH, I also feel like this is undemocratic unpopular right-wing coup that doesn't represent the interests or will of the American people.

I would really like the Democratic party to go to war with the Republican party, and that doesn't mean socialism, Bernie Bros. Just defend the country itself from the Christian Nationalists who are not the majority but are eager to shape the country in their image.

The choice is not between Biden (wants to play nice with Republicans) or Bernie (socialism for white people without any sense of intersectionality). I would really like to see somebody like Klobuchar's centrist stance that will vigorously protect women, civil rights and voting rights.

Clarence Thomas has already declared in his opinion that the court should "revisit" (rescind) gay marriage. The right to privacy basis that at the core of Roe are also at the core of gay rights and interracial marriage and contraception.
