Me: My teeth hurt. Crap. Wonder if something is wrong. Me, 10 minutes later, unclenching my jaw: Oh. Bet that’s why. Me, an hour later: My teeth hurt. Crap. Wonder if something is wrong. Rinse & repeat, probably for the next 4-ish years.

It’s morning. I open 🧵 to check on my friends there. I am assaulted by a parade of horrors. I close the app. I open this app to check on my friends here. The horrors continue, with fresh horrors added. I close the app. I realize that this is yet another reason to hate El*n.

Cory Booker and penguins have saved my sanity this week…is a sentence I never imagined I’d write, but here we are.

Another goodbye. The path will be lonelier without you.

Everything is terrible, but here’s a picture of one of the local squirrels on my patio wall with what looks to be all the seeds/nuts that ever existed stuffed in his/her face.

Me: *shopping for groceries* Me: *…still shopping* Me: *starts unloading cart* My nose: wheee I’m a fountain lol yay

It’s only a tariff if it comes from the Tariff region of France. Otherwise, it’s just sparkling dumbassery.

Amusing myself by alternating between writing, emailing, and calling my GOP rep to complain in my most lawyerly (read: annoying) way about all the crap Trump is doing. I feel sad for his staff, who are all very pleasant, but maybe don’t work for the party that’s trying to drive America off a cliff.

Turns out that what it took to radicalize me was needing to put a reminder in my phone to ask my doc whether I need a measles booster. I’ve spent my life working to respect others’ beliefs & question my own, but—no. Fuck the antivaxxers and fuck this administration for enabling their bullshit.

When I’m angry, I clean. Since Jan. 20 (in addition to the usual weekly cleaning), I’ve dusted every shelf and baseboard, hand scrubbed the shower grout, and deep cleaned the area rugs. At this rate, by the time the Tangerine Traitor dies, my house will be clean enough to build semiconductors.

In the middle of a ditch in a construction zone, I found a bunch of stone cairns. People are capable of making so much beauty in a world that is often full of ugliness.
