See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

What achievement do I unlock if I eat kale for every meal today?

If we actually get a vote on the matter, I say superpowers.

Also, sooper seekrit shrift message: Don't forget to vote tomorrow!

It's a superfood, right? So, yeah, superpowers seems like the natural expectation.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh Ginger!

That's as screwy as when our homeowners insurance got canceled on account of our mortgage company had failed to pay it despite taking out money for an escrow account all year. But then 3 months later we got a letter from the same homeowners insurance assuring us we had been enrolled again for the following year. Leading us to a massive WTF moment and the impetus needed to get us to apply for a new hoe loan.

I, uh... don't think I managed to register to vote in time because I have been out of the country and still don't have a CA driver's license, so I had to fill out some forms and sign them to have my signature on file. I'll have to call in the morning to find out if they got it in time.

I also have a ton of meetings tomorrow AND have done no election research. I try to be so conscientious about voting and now I feel like a terrible citizen.

Shit, San Francisco does ranked choice voting?!

Edit: Okay, I've found some voting guides and I know where my polling place is, so if the Department of Elections tells me I can vote tomorrow, I will make that happen.

Jon B. just got hard-on.

It's actually a big part of the strategy to oust the current Mayor puppet-head, Ed Lee. The three opponents said "We don't care which you pick first, but pick us 1-2-3."

I went to bed at 7:30 last night and this morning I am still tired. Cooking breakfast, making lunch, and/or picking up something to eat all sound like too much trouble, so I'll be doing a juice cleanse. I predict maximum irritability.

Hey, Ohio could have legal pot after today! I hope it passes, for lots of reasons.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm afraid Houston's equal rights ordinance is going to lose. It was passed by the City Council, then people got a petition to put it on the ballot, then the petition was ruled invalid, then that ruling was reversed.

The focus of all the hysteria? The ordinance would allow transgender people to use the bathroom of the sex they identify as. OMG we must protect our wives and daughters from all of the EVIL MEN pretending to be women just so they can get inside a women's public restroom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would love to understand why people think this is so likely!

Did I tell the story here of being in the women's bathroom when someone who I definitely would have thought was a man came out of the stall? Now, I have no idea what that person's gender story is, but guess what? They washed their hands and left the bathroom! THE END. Who fucking cares?? If someone is a perv, they are a perv regardless, and that is the actual problem.

Exactly. And "bathroom laws" can't do anything to stop hypothetical same-sex pervs.
