An hour in Times Square under normal circumstances seems like a lot, never mind during a protest!!
A sauna sounds great, -t. I would like that. I am looking forward to December when I will be at a place with a hot tub.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I lasted about an hour and a half. Half protest signs half runner signs. I did see some protester shirts on runners which was cool.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
An hour is long, Tom! Thanks for braving the crowd!

I have a virtual event today, which I finally feel well enough for.

Seemed like a good crowd here in Nashville! Our signs were "With fear for our democracy, I dissent" and "Make Orwell Fiction Again." It lasted about an hour and then we marched the length of a nearby city park where our local book festival is being held this weekend, so lots of people (us included) peeled off there.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all.
I am still in Florida, so no marching for me. Not that I would be marching if I were at home. (For one thing, Mr. S is home this weekend and taking him would not end well. For another thing, I’m a federal employee and I don’t want to risk my job.)
Otherwise I am ok, if sick of deli.

Virtual rallies are just not the same. Which would be one thing if I hadn't waited for weeks.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Planning to drive by our downtown park rally/protest as soon as our housemate comes home with the car. We'll honk in support; one of us is too disabled to march, so household solidarity it is.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Times Square was pretty damn crowded.
The crowd was much bigger here than June. Not, thankfully, Times Square crowded. I'd have lasted much less time.

Our wings are not tired.
We had about 100 in Old Forge, which is a tiny Adirondack community, so impressive. Lots of beeping, thumbs up, peace signs, and onlookers cheering. Tourists were almost all supportive, with some blank stares, and a tiny number of thumbs down and obscene gestures. We cheered and waved at them like we assumed they were with us. Considering that the library was too late to have it listed as an official gathering, and it relied solely on word of mouth and some FB posts by locals, it was a success.
eta: it was scheduled 3-4 and that was pretty much when everyone gathered and dispersed.
