'Safe'
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.
I hate SalesForce for entirely other, local reasons.
I am in the process of convincing the baby (not a baby) that he doesn't need to be on The Boob for the entire time from 3AM till wake up about 6. He Disagrees.
Which is to say, I am too tired and too on a phone for a full meara, but I'm vibing hard for everyone
I stopped by at the Tesla Takedown event in Berkeley today. I wanted to be excited, but it was... so Berkeley. Surrounded by bougie shops (Restoration Hardware, Athleta, Lululemon), 150 or so white folks over 50 chanted and waved signs.
I mean, YAY that there are any protests at all? But I have the sense that at least half of those passing by had no idea what the protest was about, and the fact is that whoever is organizing these hasn't reached out to other communities. There are black folks in Berkeley, but they weren't there.
Signed, spent too much time in downtown Oakland during Occupy.
David, I hope the warm and comfort of seeing old friends helps balance the sorrow.
Yes, it was great seeing old friends. The ceremony was beautifully done, and really honored who he was as a person. Which is to say a lot of the stories were hilarious.
It hit me hard in ways I hadn't expected, though. Definitely was taking me back to some of the raw grief at JZ's funeral. We'll do one more, less formal, get together tomorrow.
A lot to process.

I’m in Wisconsin with my niece’s family. They’re lovely. My great niece and nephew are 5 and 3 respectively, and they have so much energy.
I have been in a deep, deep funk for so long, but I am happy to say that I’ve been having a GOOD WEEKEND. I took Friday off, (and also tomorrow), I somehow found my motivation, and now my apartment is the cleanest it’s been in well over six months. And I got myself out early today, and shot two rolls of film, and I had enough time in the afternoon to go and see Black Bag (which is Soderbergh at his Soderberghest).
And when I wasn’t cleaning or out and about, I was able sit and read comics and listen to WFMU, and not feel any anxiety.
Tomorrow, I’m buying new AC window units for my apartment
but I am happy to say that I’ve been having a GOOD WEEKEND.
I am happy to hear that!
YAY TOM!!!
That is the best news.
Yay Tom!!!
