I'm back from the protest in DT Oakland, it was pretty big! Plenty of middle-aged white folks with creative signs, but at least the crowd swung younger than the Tesla protests.
I do think that if this nationwide day of protests had taken place LAST week, the turnout would have been much less. But the way everyone now has to worry about their retirement and so forth has people PISSED OFF...
yeah, most people kind of don't have enough already--we really couldn't make it with less.
also, being told to hang tough by dudes with gold toilets makes me want to break shit. just on general principles.
In good news, today we celebrate Amy's birthday! May the day bring joy and cupcakes! I hope the year to come brings all the best.
Happy birthday Amy! Cake for all my friends
It's also Alex's birthday--unbelievably, he's 21!
21!!!
And Amy must be what, 27, 28?
Happies all around!
