Sarah not Santa

As a Washingtonian, please and thank you.

Yeah. The people I know shop at Sams instead.

They could have looked to Girl Scouts USA for how to do it. I’m still regularly reminded how proud I was when GS Western Washington returned a large donation with strings to deny trans girls and they made it up with grassroots small donations that wanted inclusiveness.

If only we could have predicted this.

Fair.

Are there people who specifically want reduced fuel efficiency?

Bodies are weird. Today my foot feels just fine. If it weren’t for the cut on my foot there would be no sign of anything.

Plus making sure that certain people never get to speak.

Smacked my foot on the corner of the door to the dishwasher when I was cleaning the kitchen earlier. It seamed okay until I rested it. Now I can’t put weight on it. So much for yoga class tonight.

LONG RAMBLING EMOTIONAL THREAD:

It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS.

I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

When I was in elementary school there was a staff member at the school who walked with a cane because of polio. She made sure to tell all of us the reason and that we were fortunate there was a vaccine now. It made a big impact on me.

I don’t even care for horror generally and I really loved this movie.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

To cis people?!? Probably not. At least not first and foremost.

Like Riley Gains tying for fifth, this is a situation where a cis woman was graded based on the merits of their work but because a trans person was involved it is unfair that they didn’t win.

So many are waking up and finding that their peers are shifting away from viewing them as special just for being men and it makes them sad to be judged on their actual merits.

It’s worse than Schumer courting imaginary people like that. While it is clear the Baileys would never vote for him at least they can never actually vote.

I keep saying that they are shifting the tent and leaving lots of people out in the cold every time they try to “expand it to include Rs”.

So terrible. Especially since Hopkins isn’t helping him get the visiting student thing arranged. They just abandoned him. It’s one thing for the visa to be out of their control but that is something they could do.

Shhh you are saying the quiet part out loud.

If only he had the charisma of Colin Robinson.

In the #PWHL if there is a mishap during a line change and your team gets a penalty is it "too many women on the ice"?

I wonder how much of the people outside the C-suite are using AI because their bosses have mandated it? That’s becoming a common story.

Having just read Soldiers and Kings by Jason de Leon regarding the Honduran guides who move migrants across Mexico and to the US border human trafficking is complicated. It seems like it’s rarely good for the people being moved or low level guides. They’d just be collateral damage.

For a guy who is all America First he sure spends a lot of time worrying about Venezuela.

The Illinois AG’s office should be doing something about this. But will they?

It always gets painted this way. Disagreements with the things coming out of the Pentagon are treated like hating the rank and file soldiers.

I guess I didn’t try indefinitely. But over an hour looking for a tablecloth I liked for my table that was less than $100 was the edge of my willingness continue. If that makes me a bad person so fucking be it.

The voice of Patrick Fabian on the answering machine in this week’s episode of Pluribus was *chef’s kiss*.

This is not sustainable. Bailing out the banks and large corporations is nothing but socialism for the rich and late stage capitalism for everyone else.
