My partner of almost 30 years, my love, the father of my children, had a cardiac arrest on Tuesday and didn’t make it. We are devastated, but we are also surrounded by love. They all tell me I’m strong enough to get through this, but I have my doubts.

Life comes at you ... at exactly the rate it promised to come at you during its 4-year re-election campaign where it told you exactly what it planned to do literally thousands of times.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address:

Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

Insane. Valid papers, but they thought she might tattoo for money. Don’t believe them when they say they’re only going after criminals (not that anyone believed them)
CBP is detaining german tourist for over 1 mo because they accused her of intending to tattoo for $$ while in US. In jailing her to deport, they held her in solitary for 9 days, also kept her from her return flight Feb 15. She's still jailed.

Happy New Year: our toast this evening was “well, we’ll do our best,” and “god help us.”…right before they played “What a Wonderful World” and G attributed it to Neil Armstrong. So we’re starting off strong.

Dreamed last night about a very popular new place selling what they called a “Waffle-Falafel,” a waffle ice cream cone on top of a falafel. The flavors might need some work but the name’s solid

Got a scary tsunami warning at work saying “you are in danger.” I’m at the top of the East Bay hills, so I don’t think I am, but me and all my coworkers looked at each other like, we’ve done fire, earthquake and active shooter training, but not tsunami. Should we go up a flight of stairs?
