Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Ha, ha, ha, that is so wholesome. Love.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Voted. May Ted Cruz's shittiness come back upon him a thousand times.

I don't get the sense that sociopaths actually enjoy happy, fulfilling lives no matter how much material success they achieve. Ted Cruz has to live with being Ted Cruz 24/7.

Our wings are not tired.

The govs dressed as Walz truly delights me.

I will do my part to send Rick Scott packing with him.

Yeah, but right now, so do I. I want him publicly humiliated. I want him to disappear from public view so quickly that it's like he dropped into a sinkhole.

You have my support. Virtually. I can't actually help with a vote.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

One of ltc’s classmates told her today that Kamala Harris can’t be president because she only cares about her family. I told her that that classmate was an idiot. Probably not my best parenting moment, but whatever.

But accurate!

OK, just got my first trick-or-treaters. Super cute trio of Iron Man, Wednesday, and Maleficent. I'm terrible at guessing kids' ages but... younger than Stitch and ltc by a few years? Anyway. Cute.

ETA: And we're up to three rings and... nine kids? Couple of sports teams, and I don't remember the others. Some little dude was a Mario character... but not Mario. Wario? I'm bad at those.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Welp, our managing director sent out an email last night saying that we are under a hiring freeze, they are reviewing labor costs, early retirement offers will be made and "Further Workforce Adjustments" depending on Q4 performance. So, layoffs are in the air. The mood in the office today is not too fun. I feel like our department is already lean to even short handed so this is going to be rough on everybody.
