Late to the party. Again. Finally started the Discworld books. It took me awhile to get into it. I just couldn't seem to vibrate at its frequency for the longest time. Finally got it about 3/4 through and The Light Fantastic is on my desk and ready. But I'm moonlighting with another book first... 😊

What happens when Tesni is alone in the office unsupervised on Black Friday? The inner monologue becomes an outer one...
All actions are narrated in a sing-song voice and conversations are had with inanimate objects in random and completely inconsistent accents...
A delightful morning, I tell you!

The era we are living in offers too many illustrations of greed, narcissism, and hatefulness. But I still believe we can recommit ourselves to serving the common good of all Americans. [Artwork by Jennifer Bloomer]

In the car discussing whether second-hand vape smoke is as dangerous as second-hand cigarette smoke. I can't remember what prompted it, but...

I could not stop laughing...
E: Mom. It's not that deep

Later, watching Mumbo's new HC episode with a section card saying "Giving myself wind." Mumbo has gas? 😆
Mumbo was making working windmills in Minecraft...

I love being short, I really do. It's an integral part of my identity. But perhaps I love it a little bit less when I have to stand on tip toes to get clothes out of the dryer and have to practically crawl inside to get the last socks from the washer...

For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus.

Opinion | Democrats’ election wins showed they don't need to hide their support for trans rights
Republicans repeated Trump's anti-trans strategy from 2024 and lost big. This should be instructive for Democrats.

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."

His victory has created a harsh contrast between the world we want and the world we have.

M had to go to California at the beginning of October. It was last minute and unplanned, but happened to be when some of the BG3 actors were signing at Funko.
This man took the red eye, went straight from the airport to Funko, stood in line, and got Pops signed on my behalf. I felt so loved.
