All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yard work. Might try the new sushi place.

Our wings are not tired.

Whirlwind trip to NY. I arrived here at 2:30 this morning and will return to the airport at 9:00 tomorrow morning. Then in FL for another week, tying up loose ends and so forth. So far, two loads of laundry, picked up grocery order, got my nails done (after rescheduling the appointment 3 times previously), and did a bunch of stuff to prep for my SIL and BF to be here visiting (previously scheduled) while I am in FL. I've given my son lists, and he is slowly doing chores too. Next is filling pill containers and packing again, after I empty the suitcase which is still sitting next to me.

The dog was a pain while I was gone. He usually sleeps in my bedroom, but he wouldn't while I wasn't there, and he would just pace in front of Brendon's room and not go in. B ended up sleeping on the couch so Skinner would sleep in his bed downstairs. We'll see if he sleeps in the room with SIL while I am gone again.

I am going to a fish fry tonight with my sister and son because I haven't done that this year, and we don't have the same tradition in Florida as they do here on Fridays. I don't do fried fish, but they also serve broiled. And I am not cooking on my brief stay!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I need to clean this weekend, although that might not actually happen.

I think I will go see Boys Go to Jupiter at some point.

Always Anti-fascist!

Finding myself wishing fun were a bit less of a foreign concept, even if I didn't plan to hit the ground running(sic) for a Mandami phonebank tomorrow--it will be normal time in New York, but early for myself in Satan's armpit. I actually started a series of writing craft lectures I really do like, but even that's a bit...diligent to be true *fun* right? I think so.

Not sure if we can keep operating the website in light of Mississippi's HB1126

There was an injunction blocking it which was struck down in the fifth circuit recently. An emergency injunction was rejected by the supreme court last week.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I think this is more informative on the topic: [link]

They say major social media sites, but the bill doesn't read that way.

Can everyone assert that we aren't in Mississippi? Or something?

We had lunch with some friends today, so that is the beginning of my weekend. Don't have anything else planned right now, but we usually manage at least a dinner with friends and often a movie.

But maybe we'll do something new and different. I've been pondering putt-putt and horseback riding lately.
