Apparently Texas is going to be swallowed up by the earth, and maybe LaPierre will go with it.

Nah, they’d just get more security for congress. Their workplaces are already gun-free.

Why should they change their stance? Gun violence helps their corporate sponsors sell more guns. And clearly if everyone just went to the club armed to the teeth, everyone would be safe. That’s just logic.

This cover Erasure did of ABBA! I’ve been re-watching NCIS season 4 randomly and have nothing useful to add.

I showed up for choir!x3 again this week, and chatted with a couple new people- new choir friends maybe?

I came down with a terrible cold just in time for the weekend. I wish I had more ice cream so I could be drinking a frosty soothing ice cream float.

I’m not convinced he realizes it will be hard work.

I feel like my eyeballs just vomited.

The senator just called them out for not being there.

Probably, but until people get angry enough to push back, nothing will change. I mean, look at the passion of these activists who had to fight against homophobia of the 80s to save themselves, their friends, lovers and families. They got mad, they got organized, they got results.
