I get you as well.

They do, but the one I frequent is pretty full.  I’m sure they’d make room for a couple more if asked, but they have the opposite problem of “crowded shelters”.

Starting to think Jezebel’s political stance is“don’t vote, just boo”.

Which is odd, because the former is so much easier* than the latter.

Could be. Having something sugary definitely takes the edge off.

I’ve been obsessed with this song today. It’s strangely calming.

I’m having intermittent dizzy spells (eating something helps) and hives. But at least I’m not freaking out on anybody else, right?

The protests and riots are short-term. Voting has long-term consequences. Maybe don’t police people’s reactions, or know that there’s several things that can be done (and none of them are wrong), but don’t be so short-sighted.

It washed out reeeaaaalll slow.  Scraggly, floofy half-curls everywhere.

Mom’s cousin gave me a home perm.

I want to snorgle their little bellies and coo at them while my face bleeds from the multiple puncture marks caused by their wee widdle murder-mittens.

This long weekend, I’mma go 24 hours without bad news. I’ll watch Netflix, play video games, go for a walk (probably in an old cemetery, so I can clean up as I go), and avoid social media for a whole day. It will probably help with my mental health, which is on the upswing (being involved in another play helps a lot).

Mr. Duck and I are going to have a 24-hour bad-news-free zone. Nothing about Corona, nothing about Trump, nothing about anything that will raise blood pressure. We’ll watch Netflix, play video games, avoid social media like the plague... And see how we feel, because neither one of us is Okay right now.

There’s a little-known third option: The White Pill.

Theater Update! The auditions (via Zoom, which made me feel like Alice during the Brady Bunch opening) went well, with very few glitches, and I got cast! We’re doing Twelfth Night, and I am Fabian - friend of Sir Tobias Belch, co-conspirator, and ultimately peacemaker. Also the second part I’ve been cast for that’s…

Wasting food AND having an already stretched-thin cleaning crew clean it all up?

Smile at him and say “if you survive this, you’ll never choke on anything again!”

Your best bet is to find a skate shop that will let you try on different boots. It kind of varies from brand to brand - one will have toe room for days, others will vary from style to style.

They’ll coach you through your first drop-in.  The skating community is very open and helpful.

Yes on the toe stops!  Can’t believe I forgot about those - even the better quality skates come with kind of cheesy toe stops.
