Timelies all!
Just got back from the seder at my MIL's house. We had it outside, because she's extremely cautious about this stuff.(She's vaccinated, but whatever.)
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

What is even happening?
Chag Pesach sameach to all of the Buffistas observing Passover.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy Passover!
A Good Stuff post just got some pick-up, potentially because a popular TERF blog re-blogged it? Ugh, and I'm glad I have a pro-trans post queued up for tomorrow. Internets, man.

Our wings are not tired.
I know the holiday gatherings are still weird and cautious, but still much better than last year. At least there are more options instead of just nope.
DH is on the list for his vaccine. My sister in NY was going to come last year in April for my other sister's 70th birthday, but of course cancelled. Now she is going to come this year, but she won't make the reservations until he gets his vaccine because then we can all be together and won't have to be outside in the heat of late April. My sisters are both done with theirs too. I haven't seen my sister Judi in over a year although 2 hours away. I saw my sister Mona last summer when I was in NY, but no hugs and mostly outside.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy Passover! I’m pretty tired of thinking about plagues but if someone wants to draw analogies between the parting of the Red Sea and the Ever Given I am here for that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just finished yet another Zoom seder with my parents and sister. My aunt is in the hospital again, and not doing well. I haven't seen her since the summer of 2019.

Yikes, Laura, 75% unmasked? I guess I’m super glad I live here.
The weather was really nice today. I can’t wait for more days like this.
Jesse boo TERFs but yay having a post they won’t like?

I think my most popular post that still gets notes is a post I just copied off Facebook about an older trans lady, so unless that's full of people reblogging it to say they disagree, I think I'm fine on balance, karmically.

In 2017, someone on Twitter made a joke about a croque monsieur (French ham and cheese sandwich, basically), and someone else said they didn't understand the joke, and then I explained it. Every couple of months, I get a few new notifications of people liking my explanation tweet. I have no idea how or why they're even reading that thread.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We drove quite a bit south out of the city to get our vaccines, and we stopped at a big Buc-ee's to get breakfast. (If you don't know Buc-ee's, it's a chain of convenience stores, except Texas-sized. Like, this place had a counter where they sold jerky.) The difference in the number of people without masks there versus in the city was really striking. It's the first time we've been around that many maskless people pretty much since the pandemic started.
