Popping in to vent a little if you’ll indulge me. I’m out seeing Common. Common! For free! And I’m with some of my closest friends, who I love dearly. But we are also on day 2 of going out and they are all the type to get grumpy and bitchy when things aren’t exactly according to plan and I don’t know if I have enough wine to deal with this bullshit. It’s a beautiful Saturday night. Shake it the fuck off.

First, awesome to have a blast on a Saturday night! But I do so understand the exhaustion of dealing with complainers. It seems to be an epidemic. As a lifelong "Roll With It And Apapt" type it is tough to roll with. Two of the local area FB groups that I follow for events and deals seem to be 90% complain about your neighbors posts. My sister nonstop complains about her DIL. I sincerely make an effort to keep negativity out of my life, but complete avoidance isn't an option.

I know I have mentioned it before, but a dear friend by habit always complained about everything when we went out. Service/Food/Patrons. I adopted a habit of telling her in advance that going out to dinner was supposed to be relaxing and that everything was going to be perfect, no matter what! She adapted and learned to let it go, at least around me.

BUT once again M is going to not only have dinner wai+ting for me but a bath for after dinner relaxing. Because he is made of awesome.

Ahh, I am relaxed just reading this. Good job, M.

Oh! Let me complain about something! Grammarly wants to underline way too much of my casual posts. Let it go, Grammarly. Go with the flow. (Okay, I appreciate the help on more formal stuff like work. Even though the emails I get from doctors and managers are cringe-worthy.)

Back north and into the morning gym routine. Whee! Okay, more coffee first.

Ugh, I'm glad my life is filled with Roll With It And Adapt types.

A thousand times this. I don't think people realize how much that energy impacts people around them.

Well holy fucking shit. I didn't expect Biden to step down so soon, if at all.

I wonder if he’ll throw his support to Harris. I think she could really energize the get-out-the-vote movement in so many demographics (women, of course; and POC, including South Asians as well as Black people; and hopefully younger people).

I think he could serve another 4 years quite competently. But I also see how he won’t be competitive enough against Trump this time around, even though he was last time.

And the Democrats have no presidential nominee now. I don’t see how this could go poorly at all.

Still, literally no candidate is better than Trump.

They better get behind Harris right fucking now.

I just read that Biden already endorsed Harris.

The next 3 months are going to be batshit insane.

Wow!

My anxiety is fucking tired of unprecedented times.

Well I thought to myself "you haven't checked the news today maybe you should..."

And what do I see...this is going to be. I'm not sure

I will say that while it's frustrating to see how Trump's memory lapses and rambling seem to be downplayed I do see it as different from Biden.

Trump was always incoherent and rambling he has gotten more so but there hasn't been a dramatic decline . With Biden it's pretty obvious that he has been having issues based on his recent past. And that is ...maybe not dramatic but a big deal. Of course I'm pretty sure that if Trump were in coma the GOP would keep him as the nominee and his supporters would vote for him.

I will continue to avoid social media because I don't want to have to deal with the "well id vote for a woman , just not Harris" comments that I know I'll see from various left and progressive dudes (maybe some women I dunno).

I’m really gutted at this. It feels like a centrist revolt that is putting all of our lives in danger.

I think there was less than no chance that Biden did anything but throw himself 100% behind Harris. But I will be shocked if the same voices calling for Biden to step down did anything of the sort now.

I’m a huge fan, and I think she’ll make an incredible president. But it’s going to be an ugly road. And if the so-called liberal donor class and white liberal punditry don’t stop showing their asses, we’re all in big trouble
