The world is a trash fire these days but at least i get to stay married. I will take the win. Anyway the adrenaline crash is enough that i do not wish to do any part of my job today.

sounds like many people are canceling travel plans this november due to the government shutdown and decreased flights nationwide
as a native american who does not celebrate thanksgiving, i humbly ask that you consider donating your cancelled travel costs to native organizations in your communities

This is so exciting!! I am brimming with schadenfreude! The comments include a fantastic interview with Khan that i really enjoyed listening to.
For those who don’t know, Lina Khan gave tech bros hell AND her ass to kiss when she was FTC chair. She was busting monopolies left and right. Gave Amazon and Meta the finger too.
This is an EXCELLENT addition to his team.

Khan's appointment sends a message to the tech industry, whose most powerful players have already been critical of Mamdani, a Democratic socialist.

For a number of years, i used to watch V for Vendetta on this day. Then i stopped, c. 2016 (for no reason whatsoever). It felt too real. Too close to home. Too painful. Today for the first time i feel like i can resume that practice. V is a perfect movie and so endlessly quotable. I have missed it!

spent the last 1.5 hr trying on the majority of my clothes to see if they still fit right. According to @itslineto.bsky.social i am developing some "guns" so a lot of shirts are tight across the shoulders. BUT my 2 fave winter dresses still fit or i would be gutted!

Started the work from office morning getting half-soaked in a deluge. Good thing i brought an extra shirt and wore my boots! Downside: my pilates butt is making my skirt look extra short. Guess I'll have to try on all my clothes again to make sure i can still wear things i lay out for morning.

I have looked so much like my dad all my life. When i was born the nurses at the hospital apparently took one look at him and said, Ah, you're the dad! Some years ago i cut my hair short, looked in the mirror and saw my dad looking back. It's not a bad thing! It's just v obvious that I'm his kid.
Do you look more like your mom or your dad? Or a grandparent? Or another relative?

We had a delightful day today! Went to the Turkish festival in DC, ate incredible shawarma and falafel, got a ton of baklava, purchased beautifully crafted silver earrings, a LARGE summer throw for the bed, perused so many pretty things, AND got a Turkish coffee fortune reading! Such a fun event!

We have decided Kitsi is a warlock - he has very high charisma, modestly high dexterity, and intelligence of 6. His patron is Ball.

Look at this beautiful CAEK OF YARN!!! A regular-sized pair of scissors in the corner for size comparison. It's yowza by Miss Babs in Hitchhiker Birthday, which is their double-the-size skein line. I'm making a complex cable and lace argyle sweater vest!

Anyone who turns their nose up at ~genre fiction~ (like scifi, specfic, romance, etc.) as being inferior to ~literary fiction~ and thus not worth reading is a boring snob who lacks imagination and i have no time for them.

OK there's my Unhinged Literary Opinion: Pratchett is the greatest humanist/philosophical writer of our era.
and since he really does have a quote for everything, in the wise words of Sir Terry Pratchett: “Susan hated Literature. She’d much prefer to read a good book.”

#vaccine side effects were surprisingly mild this weekend! Not complaining! Still feel quite tired, though that could also be the dog needing to go out at 5am this morning and fucking up the rest of my sleep cycle. 😐

I already preordered this but this teaser just confirms that it's exactly what i want to read at this point in time! Cackled out loud several times.
TWO! DAYS! TIL BOOK DAY! let me take you away from all this (the stresses and horrors of the dystopian present) to a better place (still full of stresses and horrors, but only for the characters, and with much lower stakes). excerpt so you can give it a vibe check! geni.us/1204-al-aut-am
