It went OK. I answered questions intelligently, but I talked too much.

Y'know one thing that's shitty about Mike Johnson?
Yeah, I know there's WAY more than just one thing, but bear with me here...
When he's behaving himself, he seems benign. Very boy-next-door in speech, dress, mannerisms, looks. It's a highly deceptive image.

I would like anyone who suggests something like this to be classified into said high-risk pool permanently.

I've been reading a number of Studs Terkel's oral histories lately: "Hard Times" on the Depression, "A Good War" on WW2, & "Working" on the experiences of working-class Americans through the late mid-ish 20th century.
Highly, highly worth it. It's like reading letters from survivors.

Good bog, I've said this a number of times, & the pushback I get (esp. from men) has been fucking ridiculous. "Of course it wasn't sexism, Clinton/Harris were just bad candidates/fucked up in some way/it's all their fault/etc. etc. etc." GOOD FUCKING GOD SHUT THE ENTIRE FUCK UP.

MAGA is a war of men against women.
That's what the elections of 2016 and 2024 meant: a majority of voters preferred the Worst Man Ever to any woman, no matter her qualifications or race.

The first woman nominated to lead the Naval Special Warfare command overseeing Navy SEALs had her promotion abruptly canceled — and military sources blame Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's hostility to women in combat roles.

Just saw a great quote elsenet: "A man who puts the food on your table can choose when to starve you."
Something to think about, whenever men bring out the whole "men should be/are the PROVIDERS" card.

This weekend the S.O. & I have a date to clear out the upstairs closet & start getting rid of our old RenFaire/SCA gear & garb.
Neither of us is into that stuff so much anymore, so time to let it go.

Is it just really hard to find a fun clear shower curtain anymore, or is it just me? I'm not finding much other than AI-generated ones from Amazon.

Did women ruin the workplace? Is the white race genetically superior? Was 9/11 a controlled demolition? Are my dental fillings receiving secret CIA broadcasts?

The most egregious example of #mansplaining I've ever dealt with came from one of my ex-husbands.
I've probably told the tale here already, but fuckit, I'mma tell it again, because a) I have the memory of a goldfish, & b) it's SO ridiculous it bears repeating.
