Zohran kneeling, smiling and giving the thumbs up, next to a chalking on the sidewalk that says "Have You Voted Today" and "Make History, Vote Zohran, Nov. 4, 6am to 9pm"

Well have you?

If not, here's where: zohranfornyc.com/vote

also sidenote: i refer to all pets i watch as "my boss"

the ongoing roach war in my apartment has me stomping at shadows lol. my periphery is trained for bug

it doesn't matter how clean you keep it. they're gonna come if they come.

i was once so relieved to see one in an extremely clean penthouse apartment when i was watching a very wealthy cat.

im not even really talking about anyone specific in my life at the moment, just reflecting on the past. i think everyone in my life at the moment is awesome and i'll make them lentil soup any day of the week because lentils might be cheap but my skillz are priceless and that's what i can give lol

but that's the thing, right? its always the people with less who are able to give more because they understand how a little goes a long way to directly improving someone's life. i just want my loved ones to survive and thrive and be healthy. if i had money, it'd be spread around.

i used to be so fucking embarrassed when i was on disability. like my "pride" was hurt or whatever. it's such bullshit. i had friends with guest rooms in their houses and i was budgeting a non-livable ssi check. like--wtf. get me sandwiches. i would get YOU sandwiches.

if you're my friend and you're rich, i wouldn't be offended if you covered my lunches FREQUENTLY because i think the system is fucked. and you should too.

if i ever have extra money and my friends are struggling, i know what will help. spreading the resources around. duh.

friends should be able to talk to one another about their financial situations without it being inappropriate or weird. it is often the people with an abundance of money who are like "ohh that's rude to talk about".

Infinite budgets for this man.

i think the phrase "i love that for you" frequently comes off as sarcastic

Trump Is Punishing Blue States by Defunding Their Infrastructure Projects Trump is cancelling billions of dollars in federal funding for congressionally approved projects already underway.

"As the federal government shutdown drags on, the Trump administration has doubled down on a tactic of dubious legality that it has been pursuing since January: cancelling federal funding for already congressionally approved projects in blue cities and states."

Petty bullying.

This is an excellent idea!!!

i have sarah brightman's "eden" and enya's "shepherd moons" on cassette which is such a wonderful back and forth rotation of beauty

I got a cassette player a couple months ago and I'm listening to albums the way I used to. With a different kind of attention. I've really been appreciating older albums and I recently also gotten something new from bandcamp bc lots of artists on there have cassettes!

Lady Gaga - a fierce-looking young woman with long dyed blond hair, with black face-paint under her eyes, a black-and-white bandanna, and a black vinyl motorcycle jacket being pulled open to reveal the black bra underneath.

Greta Van Fleet - four young, androgynous guys with olive skin, brown hair (long on two of them, slicked back and shoulder=length on one, and curly and jaw-length on the last), holding bright flowers against dark-colored clothes.

I can't be the only one noticing that rockist old curmudgeons grousing about how "No one makes great music anymore" are often the same ones trashing new artists who either ARE making great music that doesn't sound like classic rock, or trashing new artists for sounding TOO MUCH like classic rock.

and i mean 12/7 December 7th lol
