Brenda, I’m glad you’re having such a wonderful trip. I can picture all the things you’re doing based on my memories and it just makes me so happy!
Is anyone here using the Finch app? I’m looking for friends there.
Welcome to the Hellmouth petting zoo.

15,000 steps and 19 flights of stairs. So naturally I just picked up a standing room ticket for Brie Larson in Elektra.

Okay, but when would you have that opportunity again? Definitely a good choice!

Exactly. What am I, going to go sit in my hotel room?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Good news from the Cincinnati Nazi demonstration! Although the cops blocked to overpass so those assheads could wave their Nazi flags, a group of young people busted through the police line as the Nazis fled in their box truck. The kids stole the Nazis flag and set it on fire.
I believe that children are the future.

That is so awesome.

Teach a child to punch a Nazi when they're young, and they'll fuck up Fascists for a lifetime.

After much window rattling storm and rain we have a glorious blue sky today.
I'm going to try and mediate my Saturday between Needful Tasks and Faffing Off. This is the wisdom of age - you don't have to settle for binary choices. I can do a few Needful Things and then Faff Off.
Or as I have come to think of it relative to my home: "just pick up one pile."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
One of the tasks on my list today was to read a book I just bought. I mean, sit down, concentrate, and read without any interruptions. It was way harder than it seemed.

Our wings are not tired
The events in the world right now have just been making everything feel like an onerous task. The depression fog in my brain is no fun at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had a church retreat today that was about making space and building community, and it was just what I needed. Would recommend! We ended by walking a labyrinth, which I didn't think I would get into, but did.
And tomorrow I have a snow day, which I'm really looking forward to -- church is on zoom and my band session was cancelled. It's more of a snow day than I probably would have gotten on a weekday at this point.
