I am heartbroken and angry on your behalf, U.S.ians. I am so sorry.
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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?
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.
Heartbroken about this court. Damn Mitch Mcconnell to hell.
Less devastating but still annoying news: Nathan Fillion says Joss was always fine with him! [link]
Nathan Fillion says Joss was always fine with him!
Aw, dude, no.
Nathan Fillion says Joss was always fine with him!
Well I feel better, don't you?
I’m on Paxlovid. Damn the literature included is scary. I should probably not have read it.

Of course.
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.
