Purity tests being served up again and, oh, look, the "he's the wrong kind of gay" crowd showed up today - right on time. Unlike the dear tangerine, I do not recall Pete saying that people have to agree with everything he says.
We're not the cult.

Since Bathroom Doorhandle Bruise has discovered its inner disco phase โ€“ like its celebrating its own private Pride Parade โ€“ and it is only about 70 degrees (albeit a tad humid), Iโ€™m wearing a long-sleeved T todayโ€ฆ.

I was just below our state treasurer in personal donations to Democrats, & now, as Iโ€™m retiring to the great fixed income. Iโ€™m going to be ONLY collecting change โ€“ & for WTE only. I think Pete would understand. I say this only to caution others. Give if you can, but never until it hurts. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

Where Iโ€™m at & thereโ€™s still a way. Iโ€™ve put in for a small monthly donation & did an extra $10 recently but canโ€™t be as free-wheeling for me as 2019-20 was. Iโ€™ve always worked an undervalued job but opened my wallet big time for his 2020 campaign & WTE as a result, I got myself in $$ trouble 1/2

It's been a day... Spent most of the morning at the neurologist having some recent developments checked out - bonus: she said my walk is still pretty good. Then a haircut and a gift of a purple conditioning rinse. Hope it falls somewhere between can't tell and Mrs. Slocombe. IYKYK

Morning, Gunny! Iโ€™m a short-timer on the way to retirement, now, so my days are kind of bipolar โ€“ just like the current administration.

I suppose the so-called โ€œdeath panelsโ€ republicans tried to pin on Democrats in 2010 werenโ€™t enough for them โ€“ now theyโ€™re GOP wants us in a death spiral. Nice

Last night โ€“ or was it really early this morning? Weekโ€™s been weird โ€“ I was listening to the recording (because #Parkinsonโ€™s) of a brief interview I did for a light feature story and I had a revelation. When Iโ€™m cranked out on stress, the cadence of my voice sounds like Michael J Fox did in 2020.๐Ÿ‘€

A word of advice for teens working summer jobs โ€“ especially white boys who may not have been working with older folks before;
For coworkers like the elderly grocery cashier who canโ€™t hear well, has joint pain & uses oxygen this job isnโ€™t the joke you think it is. So, she may be cranky & slower 1/2

Well, for those of my peeps out there without personal experience with Parkinsonโ€™s, hereโ€™s an example of why itโ€™s called a โ€œsnowflake disease,โ€ affecting each of those with it differently.

I donโ€™t care much for urban renewal myself, except when itโ€™s in response to any community asking for blight in their neighborhood to be addressed by their city, and I donโ€™t care if someone hates Pete Buttigieg โ€“ just get basic information right.

Uh, that was South Bend. BECAUSE RESIDENTS, INCLUDING BLACK FOLKS, ASKED FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE. Abandoned bldgs were torn down after title searches, most which led to absentee landlords who were letting them rot. When owners were found to be struggling to a bring them to code, he worked w/ them.
