Always Anti-fascist!

My mother always puts stuff away, but then when she dressed as Wonder Woman for Halloween when I was a kid, I wasn't totally sure it was a costume. (Sometimes I feel weird mixture about all the stuff disability...kind of gets me off the hook for. Because, when I'm missing stuff, it sure as hell isn't laundry...well, except for the one place I lived in college where it became kind of a flashpoint for the attendants and then people put underwear in my hamper with, well...never mind. But there have been times I wanted to handle it myself, I suppose.) But I can't ever even say stuff like that, or that I'm glad that I have time to write or for political activity, without seeming like I Think The World Owes Me A Living(Does it make anyone feel better that I think it owes you one, too? Sometimes.)

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

It is known that putting the laundry away is by far the hardest hill to climb among any household chore.

Putting all the clean, folded laundry away is the dream, man.

Yeah I am v good at doing laundry and even at folding it straight out of the dryer, but putting it away?? Nahhhhh

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Flat is .00

Yep. THIS IS HOW I LEARNED IT IN SPORTING EVENTS, NBC. TWO MINUTES FLAT IS NOT TWO AND A QUARTER MINUTES.

I, umm, might have learned it from horse racing. Go fig.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

IT IS LITERALLY WHAT FLAT MEANS.

Ahem.

I really try to support taxis over Lyft and Uber, but damn if they don’t make it hard.

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

Timelies all!

We had to put our cat, Luna, to sleep last night. She was 17, and had a lot of medical problems, but it’s still hard for all of us. We were all with her until the end.

I'm so sorry, Sheryl.

So hard, Sheryl. I am sorry.

Tim Walz's hot dish recipe. It's topped with tater tots.

My Minnesotan SIL says that this is not hot dish because the ingredients do not contain a cream soup. She describes it as "fancied up"
