I’m at home in Northern VA. It’s very quiet here, but my apartment faces away from the street.
I am freaking out a bit, following the news. “Whiplash” is definitely the word.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We live in Maryland. The events in DC are really scary. Lock them all up.
In other news, my crown has been glued back on my tooth. (Although the person I spoke to on Monday apparently didn't put my appointment in the system, they were still able to fit me in.)

While it's kinda minor, I feel a bit bad for Senators-elect Warnock and Ossoff. They should be smiling their way through the news cycle, giving interviews and thanking their supporters. Instead everyone's focusing on the idjits f-ing around in the Capitol building

All of my afternoon meetings were cancelled and emergency meetings have taken their place.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks for checking in DCistas! I was completely in zoom from 8:30 to 4:30, so I totally missed this happening until I saw David post on Facebook. I have no words. I am honestly not shocked.
Also, I have an upset stomach, and literally had to occasional turn my camera off and be sick during several meetings. It isn’t COVID, I have been having weird reflux issues and I actually just did not eat enough or take my medicine until is was too late. So a bad day anyway.

shrift, yikes!
I'm having to restrain myself from obsessively refreshing news sites.
And now there's a helicopter over the apartment complex. Great.

Heather Cox Richardson is live on FB right now if anyone might find that useful/calming

I don’t know who that is? The cat vibing to songs put out an emergency cat vibe to We Didn’t Start The Fire. I think The End of the World as we know it is more appropriate
