I'm going to keep at this like a broken record: Everyone vote. Get out into your neighborhoods and your families. Get on Nextdoor or the FB page for your town or local area. Make sure people are registered to vote. Make sure they have every fucking thing they will need to vote. Get them to a DL place if needed for ID. Start a list of folks who need ( Read more... )

What happens when an incompetent and inexperienced spoiled dipshit gets the presidency and starts handing out important roles to people for kissing his ass? You get the least experienced and competent director of National Intelligence IN HISTORY.

The only experience this hard core ReTrumplican has is being mean to Mueller. What could possibly go ( Read more... )

So, week three is upon me and I am already tired of writing papers. Me tired of writing is not something I was expecting. But you can meet your "match percentage" just with your reference page of citations. To turn it in, you have to be under a certain percentage. This week I was at 25% on one paper, which feels too high. Especially when it has ( Read more... )

I am on the fence about opening things back up. I feel like a safe, pragmatic approach while slowly opening things back up could work. However, if we open, and you have a business, and it spreads through there, you risk losing the business for good. Whether it be because a whole bunch of people went there for lunch and you only had one person show ( Read more... )

Some days I feel like I'm the only person on the globe who doesn't have a problem with being at home. Mostly at home. I get out to walk  dogs or exercise, I make those shopping runs if I have to. But I can be home. I still haven't gotten to all the stuff I need to get done!

The rest of the world? You make me think maybe the rise of the machines isn ( Read more... )

1. Are you an Essential Worker? Yes, but I am fortunate to be able to work from home, and it is changing my life and making me think very hard about my next steps.

2. How many drinks have you had since the quarantine started? 1 glass of wine.

3. If you have kids... Are they driving you nuts? She's grown, and I miss her. They were coming every other ( Read more... )

Man, I have been an adult all week. Almost hit my exercise goal - it's not great but it's something - and I have mine and the boy's taxes filed and accepted. We're even spending the biggest chunk of it on grown up things our future selves will thank us for. But I am tucking some away because I truly need a vacay. I want to spend some time with the ( Read more... )

We're having lots of snow, which makes me want to sleep. Although last night I hit my first 7-hour night on a work night since I started this position. That's been years, btw. But I also had a lot to catch up on, and I made the mistake of watching something on Prime while dinner digested, so of course the dogs wanted to snuggle, and here I am, ( Read more... )

I happened across the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice (seriously, I could watch it once a month, I think) and this kicked off another Jane Austen obsessive kick. I have been binge watching everything Austen while sewing and crafting because my previous engagement was blizzarded out this weekend. What does this mean? Nothing, maybe. Or ( Read more... )
