Told my parents about the senate race; they may even vote in the primary (I will drag them to early voting). The old Black church folks (apparently) love Jasmine Crockett because she's a "fighter". who knew? (A lot of people. Most people. Everyone)

Unfortunately, between Friday and now I have become Jasmine Crockett's strongest soldier because the way some of these pundits who have never stepped foot in Texas talk about her irks my entire being and now I have no option but to vote for her in the primary. My hand was forced.

No one else caught that Colin Allred, Jasmine Crockett, and Marc Veasey all caucused, huh? Allred stepped out of the Senate race to let Crockett have better odds, Veasey stepped out of his House reelection bid to the county level to clear the way for Allred's run in 2026. Interesting.

Marking it. TX primary in March goes to Crockett (name rec, fired-up resist libs who actually vote in the primary love her).
Paxton "somehow" carries the R Primary.
The state of the economy and immigration enforcement will have to be/stay apocalyptic for a D win. Sigh. Bring on the suffering ig.

I was a Sydney Sweeney stan from Everything Sucks to the Make Sixty Great Again post. I did break my "ban" to watch Immaculate.
SS was always a capitalist riding trends: Savage X Fenty, Syd's garage tiktok/Ford brand deal. She horribly misread the room and assumed an actual right-wing culture lean.

Started the year with Spotify, then switched to Apple Music for 3 months, Then 3 months of Amazon Music (the worst by far) and finally Tidal (which was just okay). Trying Deezer next and then probably Qobuz. I like to keep the people guessing.
As a consequence, I have no accurate "Wrapped" to show.

As someone who was born/raised/lives in TX, Oklahoma is actually what the rest of the country visualizes when they think about TX as backwoods/irredeemable.
IMO, the most surprising thing about the OU essay is not that the instructor is being unfairly targeted; it's that OU had any trans faculty.

I keep thr*wing up because my body is disagreeing with my white cheddar popcorn and Candy Cane Kisses overconsumption. I appreciate that I'm trying to protect(?) me but, like, respect my choices.
(It has been like this since my late 20s; my body auto-rejects my sad attempts at food sometimes.)

Oop. I have been under a tornado watch all day today and I did not realize. TBF it was on my weather app I just thought it was for someone else I guess. Still going until 1AM and we do not have tornado sirens but I am taking my phone off silent so hopefully it will yell at me if something happens.

My Aldi grocery picker has done me a solid on the avocados. 1 is ready to use today, 1 is a day or two off ripe, and the rest are firm.
Yes, he was Latino. He knows ball. We live in TX so everyone should. But no. Usually all hard.
(I know I could ask for ripe in the notes, but I keep forgetting.)

It's always cute (derogatory) to see a cult of personality form based on vibes alone from a group of people who are constantly telling people not to idolize politicians (that they don't like).
An aside, I do wish mental healthcare were more accessible in the US. It'd cut down on a lot of this.

*Through clenched teeth*: Thank you, Gavin Newsom, for adopting Texas' non-R constituency and fighting our governor for us.
EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Federal judges block Texas from using redrawn congressional maps that would boost the GOP in the 2026 midterm elections.

Ever since I discovered how to use dark brown lipliner at the ripe age of now, my life has improved. Black eyeliner at 12, a revelation. Brown lipliner at **, a renaissance.

I know we’ve already decided on Mamdanistan for NYC. What are we thinking for Seattle? Wilsongrad?? There’s already Lenin in Fremont. It would be on brand.

Seattle has quietly been having its own Mamdani mayoral moment with Katie Wilson, but, because of all vote-by-mail elections, the story won't officially break until...Tuesday next week.
Throwback to being anxious every election for two weeks before I found out Sawant was still my council rep in D3.

I wanted to enjoy my extra hour of sleep but ...somehow... I started developing a caffeine withdrawal headache at midnight, so I woke up in pain an hour ago anyway.
I DID drink my lil energy drink yesterday but I've been caffeining too hard post-illness this last week and did not drink my usual 2.

Moisturized too hard yesterday and people were apologizing for drinking beers in front of me... I am 35.
If you are short and have neotenous features, apparently you have to wear an "I am old" pin or else people will baby you on your hoodie and leggings days.

Soooo much of the Black braiding/salon/barbershop experience is having a stylist that you think is insane but being stuck with them for hours. Like, sure, we can totally talk about prophetic dreams and prayer warriors and demons. I am. Stuck here.

Had my yearly October ration of caramel apple. Delicious. Will hold me over until next year when I remember they exist again. Last year was Chocolate Turtle. This year was just caramel and peanut. The chocolate is definitely necessary.

This was wishcasting. The next day it returned and I am on day 2 of having an iffy sense of smell at best. Continue to take your multivitamins, folks. Do NOT let your guard down.
Woke up yesterday with a sore throat, progressed rapidly, turned into a full-blown fever and body aches, cat was ecstatic I was so warm. Rode it out. Took ibuprofen just to sleep comfortably. Woke up again, and now it's like it never happened. Was that a drive by one-day illness? what??
