I donated to a GoFundMe page and I don’t give a flying rat’s ass if it’s paid back.  I remember not having enough money to pay my rent.  It’s awful.  I feel terrible for these people and I hope my $50 helps someone get groceries.  

Who is buying all that terrible pizza?

‘But Colonel Sanders said it and I remember when my neighbors used to drag Black people behind trucks so why is everyone picking on ME?’

I do rather wish I were still in 1995.

Weirdly, I don’t mind turbulence. I fly frequently in the Rocky Mountain region and I’m pretty used to crazy bumps.

Yes! The tesseract! I remember being fascinated by that idea.

I’m almost 50 and still remember carrying around my dad’s original 1962 copy of ‘Wrinkle in Time.’ When I was an awkward, nerdy girl in the 70s and 80s, I obsessively read all of L’Engle’s books.

Sargas Indtil, smuggler from Z’Top.

Who leaves their keys in their car while getting gas? I always take my wallet and keys out & lock the door. But then I’m old and sensible.

I have listened to the audio production of Pullman’s Dark Materials trilogy a half-dozen times over the past decade. The story is simply brilliant and the audio reading is really good for a long roadtrip or yardwork project.

How about Congress tells airlines to quit fucking charging passengers $25 - $50 to check a bag?

BECAUSE MIDDLE CLASS OHIO DUH.

No wonder they look so bloody thrilled to have him at dinner.

Oh my gosh that’s perfect.

Civil society is seriously jacked for half the electorate to be okay with DeVos, Price, and Trump’s other outlandishly corrupt nominees.

A chess grandmaster named Stuart Conquest. The world is a wonderful place.

You need to read this. I’m a fiscally moderate centrist and I support sensible entitlement reform, debt reduction, and overhauling the tax code; i.e., I am not an economic leftist. But Mulvaney isn’t sensible; he is a radical and these kind of draconian budget measures will throw us into a terrible recession.
