Do we need to tell you to drink some water whenever we see you here, JenP?
I am vicariously excited about the rad prizes (and the rest of the fair) and the non-verbal performance! Also the blueberry muffins, really.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I renewed my Costco membership (after letting it lapse several years ago) and now I'm off to restock my supply of comically large jars of mayo and peanut butter.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Teppy, can I get some details on your mutual aid fair? I am working on some local stuff and it looks like that has possibilities.

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
And also about the rad prizes.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yeah, what kind of info do you want? I think it was organized by the owners of the indie bookstore in our neighborhood, but I'll have to double-check that.

So, remember the walkable sustainable city that consortiums of tech bros and investment bankers wanted to build in Solano County (California Forever)? My city is considering expanding its municipal borders in what is rumored to be a back door for that to go ahead without needing to get voter approval. I’m trying to read up on it and be a responsible citizen but it’s hard to know what sources, if any, to trust

It would never go amiss!
I am looking forward to hearing about the fair and the rad prizes.
I have stuck to my plan of reading, and I am dutifully shipping my "special drink" (oral rehydration solution for all your low-osmolarity needs!), and... actually, now that I'm writing it, I need to go turn the laundry. I am having a successful and enjoyable day.

I do remember, I think I learned about it from the NYC Daily podcast.
On a separate note I’m absolutely freaked the fuck out by what’s going on in the United States government right now.

I slept in and woke up to a winter wonderland of an inch of snow and it still coming down. But the weather app claims it’ll rain by afternoon so maybe not the “oh no gosh I can’t go anywhere” day I hoped for. But it’s a start. I am too scared to go to the news and see more of it, every minute of every day there’s something new and awful.

There is so much terrifying shit going on, javachik! I am oscillating between trying to calm myself down so I can function and thinking maybe I am not freaking out enough
