This is just a hard conversation to have. It is ongoing and we haven’t figured it out yet. We may not figure it out. We just may need another fifty years—that sucks! One thing I’m trying not to do is to harshly judge people who engage earnestly, wherever they’re coming from, because that won’t move anything forward. I…

As a cis-woman, I don’t want to share a bathroom with you. You’re giving me the creeps.

I know a lot of trans people and I have NO problem sharing a bathroom with them. OTOH, I would love it if we could have tidy-designated toilets and sloppy-designated toilets! Are you an asshole who pees on the seat and leaves crap (paper towel bits, loogies, hair, ashes, etc.) in the sink? Yeah, you go somewhere else,…

I don’t guess she would want to look at the Republican Congress, too, who likes to use troops as a campaign prop but doesn’t really come through for them on things that matter, hmmmmm?

I protest. The whole Republican field are orcs. Except Carly who is, of course, one of the Nazgul. They don’t get Aragorn, they don’t get Boromir, hell, they don’t even get the power of Sauron! No! They are orcs. Multitudes of orcs.

This, this, this, this, this. About 18 to 20 years ago (where does the time go?!) I had some women telling me essentially this. No, no, I insisted, we make these decisions jointly. We support each other in this. I really wish I had listened. I’m not in a bad place in my relationship, but I’m not always happy either…

Need that on a t-shirt!

Lin (how do I feel we are on a first name basis?) is pretty interactive on social media. One could even say non-stop.

Lin’s a nice guy. I’m not. Fuck you very much, dumbass!

Was it always in his mind to run away? (Probably. Wouldn’t it be in yours?) Or did it come after he was sent back to Mount Vernon? After Washington decided, “hey, you’re the best chef I’ve got but I’m going to send you back to the countryside and have you make bricks instead to show you I’m boss.” That’s how much…

Doesn’t he look fab? If it was his sister modeling, would that be overindulgent? Why overindulgent?! Do you think his parents bought this for him? You don’t think he fits into this shoot? It’s fashion, for goodness sake! He looks fashionable to me!

Ugh! I would never use a glue trap! That’s like torture.

Redundant?

We had a mouse problem at our old house. We trapped and released them at the far end of our yard, into the woods, for a long time but the problem didn’t seem to be getting any better. That’s when we bought the snap traps. One night, I was up really late, but heading for bed when I heard the snap from the other room.…

Needs more hovercar races! Long hovercar races!

This is why I’m a bad liberal. Let him represent himself. The sooner this is over with, the sooner he goes to the chair. Or whatever.

Me, too! My cards this year say, “Winter Joy!”

I said ‘happy holidays’ years ago, when I was still something of a believer. There’s Christmas eve, Christmas day, New Year’s eve, New Year’s day (which counts because we had to go to church), and Epiphany, fer chrissakes. The month is littered with saints’ days. You don’t even have to go non-Christian to come up with…
