Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I do not by any means want him, no sir, no thank you, not even a little, but among the current field he is the one the prospect of whose actual presidency fills me with the least bleak and suffocating despair.
Yeah, I'll take banning Big Gulp soft drinks nationwide over rounding up minorities for deportation or concentration camps if it has to be a choice of liberties lost.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I am so tired of blowing my nose. It's not that I'm congested, exactly, but there's enough crud to make things annoying. Stupid winter. Stupid dry air.

Ha! My parents got me the wifi crockpot for my birthday. They know me well.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That sounds wonderful, -t!
I'm thinking through how I want to vote in my state's primary, as it's an open primary. I need to figure out if I want to vote for the Dem candidate I want to see nominated, or if I want to vote for the least worst Republican.
I think what it will come down to is which race is closest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's awesome, -t.
I just made an hour of calls for a transgender anti-discrimination bill, and that was so much. They want you to do two hours, but I couldn't take it.

My parents registered republican back when they loved on CA so they could vote against Reagan for guv in the primaries.
Today was. I compartmentalize. Mom got an email from Molly, Carolyn is awake. Molly even got a laugh from her despite many broken ribs. And everything. I really want to make sure we take care of Molly too. She's got so much to deal with. Lost her dad, mom in long term recovery, mom's emotions.

Oh Sara. I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. What a tragedy.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
sara, I'm so sorry for your whole family. That is just unspeakably sad and awful. Wishing you all strength and comfort wherever it can be found.
Nashville is now on the board for my husband's job search. Interviews tomorrow.
Ooh! Keep us posted!

Oh, sara. So awful.
I am pleased that the last of the occupiers at Malheur NWR is in police custody, and the FBI picked up Cliven Bundy, who is so retrograde as to belong in a movie about the range wars of the 1870s.
Did you know that the reason those jackasses "built a road" with the federal bulldozer is because they thought it would magically "improve" the land, and give them ownership of the refuge? Oh, yeah, that's some magical legal thinking. (The Homestead Act does not apply to wildlife refuges!)
Anyway, the DOJ is bringing in an ART CRIME team to evaluate all the damage done to the archaeological sites and artifacts in storage, and there will likely be a raft of charges filed, just under the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, not to mention all the other stuff like threatening federal employees and theft of federal property.
I cannot WAIT for the trials. t rubs hands gleefully
