Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac is sick. I do not do with with bodily fluids other than blood. I gag a lot. it makes him feel bad, so I have clipped my nose shut with random office tools and thrown cat litter onto his bathroom floor. I think we will both sleep a good chunk of the day.

unrelatedly, I think you can gather all about my childhood sex talk (or lack thereof) by the fact that there was no porn to be found in my childhood home, nor girlie mags, nor sex topic books, nothing of that ilk.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm pretty furious with the companies who are bending to right-wing xenophobia and bigotry.

I have the companies on a list and I am strongly considering boycotting them. I have not needed to make a choice as to whether to buy from them at this point, but I can't support their actions. it is straight up cowardice.

Of the stores that pulled their ads:

Lowe’s, Bank of America, the Campbell Soup Co., Dell, Estee Lauder, General Motors, Goodyear, Green Mountain Coffee, McDonalds, Sears, and Wal-Mart

The only ones I am/have been a customer of are Lowe's, McDonalds, and Sears. To boycott those (especially Lowe's and Sears) would be very difficult. But I'm thinking about doing it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Lowe’s, Bank of America, the Campbell Soup Co., Dell, Estee Lauder, General Motors, Goodyear, Green Mountain Coffee, McDonalds, Sears, and Wal-Mart

Hmm. Only one I support regularly is Campbell Soup, and I can do without them pretty easily.

it is straight up cowardice.

Absolutely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Once again, I can claim to boycott companies I don't really use anyway....

(Although in the case of McDonald's, it's just because there isn't one convenient to me.)

yeah, McDs would be hard, especially since just last week I had to explain to mac why I didn't want to eat at Chik-fil-e anymore. ok, so Wendy's is ok, right? right? Whatburger?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmm. I'm a Bank of America customer. I don't patronise any of the other at a top level, but if they own other companies I might do.

I feel good about canceling my BoA stuff earlier this year. They suck balls.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Lowe’s, Bank of America, the Campbell Soup Co., Dell, Estee Lauder, General Motors, Goodyear, Green Mountain Coffee, McDonalds, Sears, and Wal-Mart

Green Mountain Coffee? Ouch. My SiL is a buyer for them. I think I will shoot her an e-mail.

You should especially eat at Wendy's, msbelle! (Because of their/Dave Thomas's support for adoption.)

Well, dammit Home Depot is implicated as well.

So I cannot boycott Lowes AND Home Depot. But I can write letters to the CEOs, which is what I will do.
