How are Max and Leo not adopted yet? Do people generally not want to take in two at a time? I love those two.

The worst for me has been sleep disruption. I can fall asleep, but can’t stay asleep. And while my period duration has gotten shorter, there is usually one day when I am changing tampons every hour. And I’ve definitely noticed an increased difficulty in maintaining muscle mass since I’ve hit the mid-40 range despite…

Me and Mr. BSE are going to stay home, make carnitas tacos, drink some homebrew, and listen to records. Here’s hoping this is a new tradition.

Let’s see...

Just be happy.

My first Presidential vote was November 1996. That day I broke from all of my uber conservative, rabid Republican, Evangelical values voting, Rush Limbaugh fanatic family and filled the bubble for Bill Clinton. It was the making of a crevice that would eventually form a giant gorge separating me from the family.

Glad you and the little are okay. And good thing you were in a Subaru. People make fun of them, but Subarus are badass. My Outback has been the best car I've ever owned.

It does. I’m convinced that the majority white men who vote for him do so because they covet him. They live vicariously through his (facade of) wealth, model wife, his no-consequences banging of porn stars and playboy models, roaring crowds, and his crass demeanor. A lot of men would totally BE him if they could.

Meanwhile I am the only Democrat in my very well-educated family. We have an attorney, physician, multiple engineers, multiple teachers, a real estate developer, and others with different graduate degrees. All Trumpers, except me.

10/10 would eat. I have no sweet tooth, but have zero discipline when it comes to salty-fat food.

Peanut butter and cheddar cheese sandwiches. I don’t know how drunk I was when I discovered this in college, but it’s fucking delicious. 

That's...one way to think about it.

It’s going to come down to Pennsylvania. But right now Biden has to overcome a 4 point deficit with 14% of the votes still to report. Most/all of those are mail in and absentee which skew Democratic, but 4 points is a lot.

Georgia and NC aren’t going to flip. Arizona looks okay. Nevada is on a razor’s edge. If it comes down to Pennsylvania, Biden has to make up a 5 point deficit via mail in and absentee ballots. More Democrats are projected to use those methods, so we shall see. If there’s going to be a legal challenge, PA is where it…

Hope is depending on the actions of other people. And, well, have you *met* people? 

Yeah I’m not checking in with my boomer parents. They’re both anti-masker, COVID-hoaxer, fox “news” obsessed, angry old people all-in on the Trump mania. My mother thinks Trump getting COVID was an assassination attempt (but also thinks it’s a hoax...???) and my dad’s favorite bitch sessions involve something to do…

My state mails a ballot to every registered voter. I completed mine and dropped it at the county government center a week ago. There were three front-and-back pages of drop off locations for the greater metropolitan area alone that coincide with early voting locations. And they’ve been counting ballots as they arrive…
