I just like the butterfly. Maybe I'll think of more later.

I did ask questions about defunct Oddfellows lodges: Bad news: You have to draft a new charter if your lodge is considered "defunct". So yeah, if you have a local lodge that is even mildly on life support, start working with those 80-year-olds.

i sincerely think a lot of you believe that the people who join the service are robotic psychopaths who will mindlessly listen to whoever is in charge, and there is nothing i can say to disabuse you of that frankly delusional belief

Ugh, this month sucks, and it's only the start of the second week. (I see we also get Friday the 13th, that's always a great sign).

Seeing a massive divide online between Angelenos of all political stripes who understand that the protests in LA yesterday were mostly peaceful and any violence was ICE-initiated and East Coast establishment liberals lecturing “the left” on how riots just amplify right wing talking points.

Again, hate knowing people, I wish I only knew about the project, because that's actually inspiring and I hope we do more.

"Knowing" people is the worst. Really ruins half the "Aw shucks, just happy to be here" thing. Honestly, sometimes...it's better to admit you know each other (So I don't have to do a string board).

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

"You have to write a newsletter and move everything out of your closet." "Can I just....look, the physical labor is less stressful than the mental labor." (I'll do both. The hard part is the newsletter has two editors).

"Do you want to promote yourself?" Honestly...no. As much as I'm interested in politics, writing, and other forward facing things, I can't do it. I can't do speeches, I hate taking pictures.

Didn't think I'd have to go to the trouble of bringing up the "I think you're all morons!" clip from Criminal Minds, but...man...that might have to happen.

"I tried, but could not because of Depression" is going to be true for more things than I'd like, but....it's still true.

Trying to write a newsletter, but for some reason people don't accept "I'm tired" for 30 lines in a row.

Enough with the fucking “this is a distraction” bullshit. That’s your cowardice speaking. It is incredibly easy to say “These people are exactly the same as the messiest disasters you personally know, and would you want those people in charge of your daily budget? Your house? Your healthcare?”

Guys i know this is a first for many of you ... watching to equally evil pieces of trash ruin each others lives ... when two bad people fight no need to pick a side... i hope both of them have an awful time

I get why people think everything is a distraction. But this appears to be a genuine falling out between the two most powerful people in the country. Fascists are just messy and their power struggles always get weird. There are a lot of awful things still happening, but this isn't a distraction.

I'm starting to think a lot of people watch politics like they used to watch sports, and I have to say this again, with love: Don't Do That.
