You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

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.

Coming out of colonoscopy. All good. Anesthesia is awesome! Feeling fab. Thought I'd share.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Okay, there are Nazis dressed in all black waving Nazi flags on an overpass of I-75 about 12 miles north of downtown Cincinnati (so, well within what's considered "greater Cincinnati"). (Hil, flea, and anyone else who knows or cares about Cincinnati neighborhoods, it's Lockland/Evendale.)

God damn.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

ETA: I've had Chappell Roan songs stuck in my head for DAYS and then went and listened to one Sabrina Carpenter song and now THAT's stuck. Seriously. Brain. The lyrics are punchy, but there's a limit.

But have you heard Sabrina Carpenter covering Chappell Roan? [link]

Ohio is so different now from when I went to college there. It used to be such a swing state with a strong union base. Now, it's way more Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia. It's dead red and has gotten to be such a hotbed for Aryan/Nazi activity.

One of the reasons I never considered having Matilda apply to Kenyon.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

it looks like he's also heard enough concern about it to have a form letter ready for this particular concern. I think that's a good sign.

You don't write a form letter you don't expect to need.

It's hecking wimdy here. I need to get some trees trimmed.

Pretty box.

I did see video on BlueSky of a group of local people (ie, not Nazis) who got one of the flags away from the Nazis and burned it. I don't hate that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes, good.

information libertarian

We had nazi flyers left in the public library in Cincinnati when I worked there. And that was 5 years ago.

Because books.

Onerosity confronted and conquered.

This could be a really useful mantra for the next four years.

::waves at everyone:: I'm somewhere between outraged and terrified by what's going on, and I know I'm probably missing a lot of the nuances because my knowledge of politics is a lot less sophisticated than most of you. But it's nice to see so many familiar pixels.

Our wings are not tired.

Hi Amy! Most of us are still pretty news-avoidant, but still discussing the horrors here when they slap us in the face despite our efforts. Like Nazis in our paths!
