And how do they have Andy Beshear as governor? Was that a fluke?

I think there’s an undercounted surge of people who didn’t vote in 2016, but when they saw that he was as cruel as he campaigned to be, and even more so....they jumped on the train.

I missed this post when it first went up, but my Very Good Girl has woken me up the past two nights at 2A.M.  She has more election anxiety than I do.

I’m surprised Bidot stayed as long as she did. She can do better, by a lot. 

I feel like he’ll either not finish his term or he’ll worse, be adopted by Matt Gaetz and the other horrible young Republicans and run as a Republican. 

I have nothing left but this gif.

I like Big Dreams, Small Spaces for my UK garden fixation. It used to be on Netflix, but Google tells me it’s now on Amazon Prime with yet another streaming subscription. Sigh.

Thank you - done!

I’m wondering if there is an undercounted population of first-time voters that went for 45. I don’t mean young people, I mean whites who were so disgusted by non-white people, mask-wearing, immigrants, and LGBTQIA that they didn’t vote until 45 spent the last 5 years saying the quiet part aloud. When they saw that…

Also because of people who actively root for the demise of those they consider ‘others.’ I feel like I’ve been at a real-time Klan rally for the last four years.

The modicum of hope I feel now has to do with the fact that Biden’s attorneys are very well-prepared for the eventual quackshittery that 45 will bring. However, if the Supreme Court undermines the election legitimacy (again), this bodes extremely ill for the future of the nation.

I need chilled vodka to tolerate her, anytime. 

I don’t blame folks for dumping partners that become virulent 45ers, especially if they’ve been previously apolitical.

I mentioned this earlier, but it’s going to be a cochinita burrito from my favorite immigrant-owned Mexican place. Burrito Tuesday is a decade-long tradition for me. 

Cochinita burrito with avocado salsa, over here! The only reason it’s not nachos is because nachos don’t travel well.

Now I’m wondering how many folks didn’t get an absentee ballot and lack the funds to book a last-minute flight or the means to drive hundreds of miles to vote.

I’ve never made caldo verde - adding it to my recipe list now. Thank you for the inspiration!

“Great Value brand Heathers remake” is an incredible combination of words.

Every Tuesday is burrito Tuesday in my household, from my local, immigrant-owned Mexican place. Cochinita with Mexican rice, vegetales, cilantro, onion, rice, cheese, crema,  avocado salsa and habañero salsa. I want it to be Tuesday, just for the burrito. 

I have a drink routine that is helpful to me - various coffee, carbonated water, and herbal teas are part of it. I hope there’s something you can find to do that is relaxing. Shooting pool was a lifesaver to me in early sobriety (I easily played 10-12 hours/week), but I don’t know if something like that’s even an…
