Control issues and perfectionism are among my many neuroses. Twitter Diaspora. I swear a lot. I do drugs (the good kind). I'm a socialist. I studied art in school. Beyond that: US Politics, environmental conservation, mental health, organic gardening, and my employer Ramses, That Damn Cat. Sometimes I have really shitty takes. He/Him/Michael/Arrogant jackass.

2.5" of rain today.

If you don't say "WELL WELL WELL" in the style of Beverly Leslie every time your cat saunters into the room lookin' like she just left a traphouse, what are you even doing with your life?

I saw that in the NYT. My eyes rolled so far away I had to hire someone to go get them.

I disagree that they can't be entry level positions. If a person has their ear to the ground for the community they would like to represent, I say good on them and go for it. it's the choice of their constituents. It's a bit of an originalist interpretation of the role, but I truly think anyone should be able to do it so long as their closet isn't bursting with skeletons.

Y'all know that's just The Damn Cat ™️ jammin' out to The Killers in her sitting room, right?

*distant screaming*

I can't stand the "Eat the rich" meme.

We are, though, singing right along, here to a point. The age thing. I don't think anyone should be judged on that. I'm neatly forty (that's like 600 in gay years, if you're unfamiliar with the math). That doesn't change the fact that I'm tired of having people in charge who have been in charge since before my parents even met. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't call that ageist. I'd call it anti-dynastic.

You put this way better than I did. That man is a monster, no doubt. But to attack for a cognitive issue runs right over the line of hypocrisy, to my way of thinking. He chose to be a white supremacist, chose to strip social safety nets out from under our feet, &c. My money says he didn't choose to have a brain injury. There are so many easier things to go after him for. It's sad that this is what gets people wound up. Gross, even.

SIGH

I should be outside twirling around in the gardens like a nun on meth because it's so gorgeous. But there's still a lot of really annoying pain. Zero energy.

I spend more time making sure That Damn Cat ™️ looks nice for video calls than I spend on myself.

I can look a rake, but I don't want a client to see Ramses without her glow on.

Uh oh.

Evangelistas in walmart brand oxfords and clip-on ties. Roamin' the hood.

$7 gets you $12 that they wind up running back to the car they parked ON MY LAND in less than 45 minutes because they knocked on Rex's front door and he started shooting out of one his back windows.

I'll give you that. You're not wrong. It has been nagging at the back of my mind. Original meangirl here (*snaps suspenders*) would love to make fun of dippy because he's fat and illiterate. Elise Sefanik is the very definition of low-hanging.

There's a difference between not taking the high road and sinking to their level, though. I'm not sure what that is, but I know hurling ableist insults and bathing in schadenfreude isn't it.

When it's the right going after Dianne Feinstein or John Fetterman do you accept that as justification for mocking a person for their disability?

I'm not defending the man's policy decisions or platforms. I fuckin' hate him. The people that vote for him likely hold some very reprehensible values, themselves. There's plenty of fodder there. Why swing for the low-hanging fruit?

Sale refused! Do what you want with it, don't tell me about it.

I guess I'm a snob?

I gasped so hard I could hear the windows flex from the pressure change. 😂

You have a point, though. Cropping an abstract isn't categorically a sin, I guess. I just don't like excluding any part of the artists intention from a work. Feels to me like taking a quote out of context.

Because that's totally going to help the left defend the right's attacks on Biden's age, right?

SIGH

Mitch McConnell clearly has a TBI. As much as I want that miserable piece of shit taken down, this isn't the way I had hoped. Frankly, it makes me a little sick to see people relishing in the mans disabling injury.

Grow up.

And now the great pronunciation war can begin.

Like gif/gif.

fib-get or fib-jet....

I can hear it now at the council meeting.

"Whaaaa! But it's almost 200 years old!"

Fact. But y'all approved building a damn gas station eighty feet from it. What the hell did you think would happen to it. It's dying.

They need to just fell that tree.

It's gonna come down on it's own one day and kill somebody's kid.
