I’m grim. I grin anyway. One a them bleedin’ heart liberal teachers in California. Woke AF. Now spit out your gum, keep your hands to yourself, and pick up your pencil. Let’s get to work. Artist. Geek. Political wonk since way back. Big fan of whimsy.

My kid saw Frump’s new do and immediately thought of the creepy doll that she and her friends ordered together many years ago. We call it Rat Baby. Now we have Rat President.

Modern independent woman at voting machine saying: I moved on him like a bitch. I just started voting. I don’t even wait. Just vote. And when you’re registered they let you do it.

Please start fighting about candy corn. The Candy Corn Wars are the harbinger of autumn and I need the fall ambiance to begin in earnest. Because my psyche is inefficiently duct taped together and I need a load-bearing hyperfixation to consume me. So it’s fall now. I’m not asking.

Yes, that’s Joe Pesci. And Victoria Jackson. And Fred Williamson. Dean Martin was in it too.

Today’s workday is going to need two very different outfits and will run from 7:30 am to 10:30 pm. It will also require the maximum amount of cold brew intake. Let the promotion activities begin!

It’s storming here, in a place that doesn’t get a lot of storms. This girl has been clingy all day, and she is the perfect companion to the book and tea I’m enjoying. #caturday
