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

In pretty good political news from here (a rare one!): Merav Michaeli, feminist politician to the core and an excellent parliamentarian, just won her party's primary elections. She's the only woman to head a party, even though the current situation of her party is pretty grim (there's another woman who is leading a parliamentary group, who isn't getting enough votes to become a party). I don't think I'll vote for her party because they're not as progressive as I'd like them to be, but it's certainly good news.

Roommate will be leaving next Thursday, and I realized that I really want someone else to move in here as soon as possible (first people to see the place will be coming this week). I always preferred living with someone to living alone, but with the lack of socialization this year and too many inside thoughts I don't want to live on my own. It will be too lonely.

I enjoy being able to be like "oh I think I have a [cable/battery/sharpie/piece of cloth] for that!" and having a lot of stuff. BUT, I think the key is I'm not attached to the vast majority of it. I have a lot of bakeware, but I'm not attached to that particular bakeware, just like having it handy. So I feel like if I needed to, I'd be fine without the vast majority of the stuff. My issues are mostly regarding clothes/shoes, which are a little harder to replace with exact/very similar things, sometimes.

Had zoom book club this morning--only five of us on, and only one had finished the book--I got halfway, and another person was like, a chapter away from the end. We're usually better than that! I miss book club in person with pastries and mimosas and hanging out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh wow, Lisa, I can't imagine having to move that quickly! I have told my mother not to worry about cleaning out the attic because when she dies, I'll just hire a dumpster and some movers, but that wouldn't work if she were moving!

Punishingly Intricate

Their house isn't on the market yet so we will have time to move out stuff they aren't bringing to their apartment.

Thrive to spite them

So I don't have a kid info dumping about anime or Minecraft but I have M who has been giving me a whole rundown on the pros and cons of this character in Diablo 3 . I've never played this so I don't know anything. And I just keep saying "mmhimm. " and "sure"

I have no idea what prompted you to say that Dana, but I agree.

I don’t follow football at all, and I agree, Dana.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, Dana is on point no doubt.
