I had to come here where my people would understand me

comment “let me wipe away the tears with my plastic hand” because he wouldn’t get the reference

Oh man, that is a shame. But we get you.

It looks like Trump tried to use several other Twitter accounts he had access to ad those were shut down. Also his fund raising spam emails seem to have stopped and it looks like that got shut down as well.

If I was a better person I would probably feel slightly bad for Graham. At this point everyone seems to hate him and he just keeps clinging to Trump. Instead I'm hoping he gets caught doing something that will land him in jail.

“let me wipe away the tears with my plastic hand”

One of the best things about watching BtVS/AtS with D last year is having him recognize things I've been saying for his entire life without providing context.

I am disgusted with anyone in Congress or the Cabinet right now who isn't actively trying to remove Trump from office. I mean, we've been saying for 4 years "surely THIS will be the last straw before the sensible adults wake up and do something!" but there isn't actually a line to cross beyond ARMED FUCKING INSURRECTION. (Well, "successful coup" I guess, but at that point Congress wouldn't technically be empowered to do anything anymore.)

It does seem like a whole bale of hay. Surely the last straw is in there.

That happened with us and C, when watching BtVS in 2019. A few times, he actually said, "Oh, that's why you say that!" I just went to ask him if he could remember which lines prompted him to do so, but he can't.

It's a whole hay field, I fear.

-t, can I borrow that plastic tear wiping hand, a second?

1. Me too.

2. I mostly kinda always figured this is how Trump's final days in office would play out, but when I was having those moments of thinking this is how it would go down, a little voice in my head would tell me I was overreacting.

At the time, I thought it was the practical, cool-headed Cindy talking, but apparently it was the same old shit-talking Cindy who thrives on making me discount my instincts.

I hate that girl.

Yes! We started last year with M and so much this

Yes. Also anyone who hears Trump read a prepared statement and says, "A new tone!" can fuck ALL the way off. In the year of our lord 2021, I swear.

"We have realized that Trump is dangerous!" What? This is shocking news never discovered by anyone in the last FIVE YEARS.

It's occasionally difficult for me to listen to my body when I have a lot of stress and anxiety going on. I vaguely noticed on Thursday that it felt like it was taking more effort to take a walk than I thought it should, but y'know, fucking coup attempt. I took Friday off because I'm trying to use up vacation days before I hit the upper limit of hours I can accrue, and a bunch of packages finally arrived. As I was grabbing them while they were being delivered and then running the cardboard down to recycling while there was space in the recycling bins, I was all, "WHY IS THIS SO HARD?!" So I spent a little time being mean to myself for being so out of shape before it occurred to me to take my temperature. It was just over 100, so I sat quietly for a bit in case it was high from going up and down the stairs and hauling boxes, but then it went up to 101.6. I took acetaminophen and spent the rest of the day taking it very easy while panicking about possibly having Covid-19, because I had two other symptoms on the laundry list (none of which were unique to Covid-19).

Today, I'm taking my temperature every few hours and my body temperature has been low, and the other symptoms are gone. Even though I feel vaguely ridiculous about it, I'm going to quarantine and get tested for Covid-19 on Wednesday morning, which is the earliest available day near me for an appointment.
