I've been warning about this. Anyone with a few functioning brain cells could see this coming. I'm 65 now, but in my prime, I was 5'11", with an athlete's build, and short hair. I'm a cis woman. I cannot tell you how many times in my life I've been challenged just going into the women's room.

I have a little secret. For at least a couple of years, I spent every Friday and Saturday night at the Rocky Horror Picture Show - as Frankenfurter. Losing Dolly really hurts. Losing Tim Curry is just piling on the cruelty.

Like the world needed to be just a little darker. Dolly shone so brightly - a great artist (just look at her songwriting credits), a great performer. But still more, a great human being. She put her beliefs into action. She made the world around her a better place. I will miss her presence.

Huh. I have 2 coworkers, both suffering literal broken bones, who can't work for a number of weeks. Our boss refuses to respond to their texts or to file paperwork requested by the state so they can get short-term disability. He's privately discussed firing them with a manager. Must be nice.

I only just learned of Miss Denise's passing. I'm devastated. I'm so sad - we're losing the "boomers" that lived - and put their lives on the line time and again - to secure the rights today's youngsters have failed utterly to defend. I'm glad I was able to do this for her before she passed.

I am a deeply unsurprised Democrat tonight. My policy preferences are quite far left, but I am old enough to have learned long ago that rainbow-shooting unicorns are not real . . . and people always show you who they are. We warned y'all about Fetterman. We warned you about Platner.

We had our first open house today. It sucks to be told on short notice to vacate, but seven couples came. Our neighbor across the street with 2 young girls came by to hope that the buyer has young kids. Two families want to see the place again - both have kids. I think our neighbor will be psyched.

Today I encountered the largest man I've ever seen in real life. HUGE. I cannot describe how massive this man's upper body was - like a living cartoon. Just yesterday, my coworker and I had been talking about how wrong appearances can be. He was the most gentle, polite, soft-spoken giant ever.

Happy Juneteenth! May you all have the day off, may you have a fantastic cookout to attend, may you never forget the history of this day. And raise a glass to Miss Opal Lee for her years-long struggle to convince the US government to acknowledge the day's importance.

A friend has taken it as her mission to be here every day to pack, paint, load, carry. . . whatever, to help us get ready to sell. Today, I spent the day in the ER because she broke her ankle helping me move a TV. The whole time, through white knuckles, she apologized for letting us down. Girl . . .

I haven't loggedon for a while, so I don't know if this has caught attention, but Nichelle Nichols' family has won a lawsuit for negligence in her death. I'm so sad and angry. She was such an icon - one that shaped this little girl, who adored and looked up to her. She deserved so much better.

Now that she's 14 and has mellowed a bit, my cat and I have arrived at a kind of unhappy medium - wherein she does not wish to be smooshed, and I don't get to smoosh her for nearly long enough. But there were are.

Day . . . I've lost count. Many long days - weeks - of hard labor making my home a saleable house. Fibro flares on the regular as I push beyond my spoons. All the usual medications to stay on top of it. But, come about 10pm, a good frozen mudslide is my new best friend.

Someone in comments on a YouTube vid about WWII scolded a commenter for suggesting America has abandoned it's values. She said they were brainwashed and that trump supporters would go down in history as the equivalent of the resistance in Nazi Germany. What do we even do w this level of delusion?

May every one of you have that one friend who will show up to do gross, sweaty work, or sweaty, heavy-lifting work every time you could really use the extra hands . . . And all she wants in return is a well-made mudslide and a couple of hours to chill at the end of a hard day. I have such a friend.

What an embarrassingly weak, pathetic, loser. Tell him "you're so very smart, sir" and toss him some trivial things to line his own pocket, and he'll lick your ass like a dog. Xi clearly knew this.

I am so deeply grateful for all of you. With your help, we're moving along, packing up, getting ready for what comes next. We don't know where we'll end up (this town is no longer an option). But our own version of Golden Girls will persist and survive - me, my wife, & bestie. gofund.me/d5ca77693

Bestie moved in after knee surgery so we could care for her. She can't help with the packing, lifting, loading. When my wife asked her to drive her to a nearby town to pick up a Uhaul, she said "what's my incentive?". Hey, I respect the hustle - especially since it's cheap... chocolate cake. Daily.

I hope by now people on the left understand this *critical* piece of information: Maga voters are not voting against their best interests. You've just misunderstood their interests. It's white supremacy. That's it. They'll suffer the economic consequences as long as they get the white supremacy.

Packing up the last 15 years of my life under a deadline. "Overwhelming" doesn't begin to describe it. The bone-deep soreness & exhaustion of packing . . . and having to fix things you thought you could get to eventually, bc it was the last place you'd ever live in -- suddenly isn't. I'm so tired.

New game. You know the game where you add "...in bed" to the end of a fortune cookie fortune? Now, to any headline about the economy, add "...for the super wealthy" and it suddenly rings more true.

I've said, over and over, in response to people screaming, "Repubs are trying to take us back to 1950!", No, you jackasses - they're trying to take us back to *1850*. They believe, really believe, that the country took a wrong turn after the civil war, and want to repeal all the post-war amendments.

He and Trump have been running the same cranky, white male octogenarian playbook for at least ten years. Grievance and white supremacy rolled up in whatever pretty wrapping paper their preferred base falls for. Snap the fuck out of it.

Virginians! Call your Delegate and Senator and show them the lawful way to stop the current Virginia Supreme Court. Change the retirement age to 54 in the appropriations bill. It can take immediate effect in June. The General Assembly is currently in session for the budget so they can do this.

Sharing the recliner with my cat and thinking about what an incredible and unprecedented flex it is that we humans made pets of two different apex predators and think they're sooooo adorable, we want to smooch the tops of their heads and boop their noses. And they let us.

You won't be safe in a blue state. A gerrymandered, racist, Christian nationalist South will be a dominant force in Congress. So, reproductive rights, marriage equality, immigration, education, healthcare, etc. all of that will be gone eventually.

I have an extremely weird and extensively-analyzed history of horrifying dreams/nightmares. Interestingly, the only actual human to have ever made an appearance in any of my dreams was James Burke.

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

Republicans worked the long game to take over state legislatures, because they know that structural power is built from the ground up. We Democratic voters need to stop sleeping on these elections and become active participants and building our party's own power base!

My daughter seems to be under the impression I'm a fragile little old lady, or nearly so. I love her more than life itself, but goddamn, she's pissing me off with "Ima, I'm only being practical". She has no clue the labor - demolition, hauling, lifting - I've done recently that would've broken her.

Bestie took an old friend to hospice care. She told me that upon letting the front desk know she was there, staff instructed her to "get her out of the car". I blew my stack. "Oh no, they did NOT! They *assumed* you were her PCA?!?" Yep, that's exactly what they did. And that's just the benign stuff

My son in NYC is feeling the effects of a mayor focused on small things that improve lives. He's noticed how often people move, and thinks the city could provide professional "moving services". I think it's brilliant and could create jobs for people with few skills beyond strength.

Baby Girl is back at her apt, with her brother, icing her eye, having a stiff drink, and going over the train schedules for tomorrow. She'll survive. We'll survive. Life sometimes is just really hard; I'll have to let her learn to navigate that without me swooping in to try to make it all better 😭
