Notably: every single rally (including in the small towns) was bigger than the surrounding police force available. That kind of image event is VERY IMPORTANT if you're, I dunno, demonstrating social coherence AGAINST a fascist government and it's makeshift gestapo.

Reminder: It is a privilege to be able to afford to travel out of state for abortion care. Far too many are forced to carry pregnancies to term against their will.

Going to my daughter's concert tonight. She's scared, and the idea of watching 30 6 y.o. girls dancing, & forgetting all their cares will restore me. I wish that more adults don't that joy along the way. Someday they'll grow up and become just as jaded as I am, and that's a damn shame

Has anyone successfully cultivated a mango in/out in zone ~6? I had one for two years, and I think I moved it off the heating pad too soon. Any expertise here?

Okay, that's weird. I pushed off both animals, did two days worth of entries (if you count fight and makeup descriptions), and now they're both back in the same spot. I think Jellybean would happily not move for the rest of the night

I'm terrified that Trump is going to dodge all four hundred billion bullets headed his way, claim victim status, and squeak by the EC, and destroy democracy. There's a very real possibility he'll win. He gives his base what they want. The cruelty is the point.

Has anyone ever actually taken a selfie or had a partner with the prescience of mind to capture their own O face?

I'm sitting here with a purring cat on my lap and a Llewellyn Setter curled up aside me. Seems like a shame to discard them so I can go diary, but emotional health comes first ...
