I feel like Republicans are playing on Easy Mode. Maybe Tutorial. Remember when Democrats couldn't get THE REPUBLICANS' border bill passed?
My school may not be showing much concern, but below the surface we're a duck. I got pulled in to research something about grant funding, which was a relief to me because I was starting to worry we weren't doing any planning. But there is furious swimming going on.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Google has taken Black History Month and Pride off of Google Calendar.
I don't know why that even bugs me at this point, but it does.
Serge, remember when your motto was "Don't Be Evil"?

It's raining. The wind was strong enough to pull open my front French windows again. Really need to have my contractor put in stronger latches.
I guess I can focus on in-house clean-up today, since I'm disinclined to go out in this mess.

Our wings are not tired.
Confirming both Hegseth and Kennedy demonstrates the fear/intimidation/admiration/worship of their vile leader. in the top 5 of my fears is loading SCOTUS with youngsters. Top of the list Aileen Cannon.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
The bodegas in NYC have started selling loosie eggs.
The bodegas in Rochester ALWAYS sold loosie eggs! It is just like, only poor people have bodegas. But, we do have corner stores- they are different- I think our bodegas are from people who came here from NY. They had loosie toilet paper during the pandemic. Also, the first time I heard someone calling "Cigarettes, Cigarettes! Loosies, Loosies!" at the bus stop I thought they were saying Lucy and was so confused!

Again, also, they get me half and half. Like, they don't normally carry it, but I asked, and they get it just for me :)

I’ve switched my browsers to duck duck go rather than Google. But just like Amazon, isn’t most of their income from hosting or storage or other “web services” now.

Unsurprisingly, FEMA pulled out of the job fair today. This all just sucks so hard.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Just saw that a show that had been scheduled for the Kennedy Center was canceled. Finn, a musical for kids, about a shark who's told he's supposed to be mean and tough, but he wants to dance and be sparkly, and he learns to express himself and push to be seen as he wants to be seen and sparkle. As far as I can tell, there's nobody in drag, and no mentions of trans people, but even that amount of pushing back at gender roles isn't being tolerated under Trump's management.
