You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

I've accidentally gone into the men's room. For some reason they didn't all run out screaming.

Vote correctly, Houston!

I haven't been able to find any voter information for my area, so I assume I do not have an election today. Maybe I will swing by City Hall (also my polling place) on the way home to be sure...I can cast an uninformed vote for school board if that's what's on offer.

I don't know about this cleanse. I expected to like the Beet Kvass, because I like beets, but it tasted very raw. Perhaps I should just expect none of it to actually taste good.

Called the Department of Elections and I am registered to vote! So I will figure out how I'm voting in between meetings today.
