So busy. So many things.

Like I said you guys, very busy weekend. 

Everything Sucks.

This. Is. Nazi. Shit.

I really can't deal with the fact that we're committing human rights violations by separating children and parents at the border.  And I don't even *like* kids, so you know that if I think it's bad, it must be fucking horrible. 

Unfortunately, there's....not much we can do about it.  Check out https://familiesbelong.org/, they organized protests last week and might be doing more activism. Give to the ACLU. Vote for people who want to #AbolishICE. Leave other things to do in the comments. 

Oh and always this:

Fuck that little troll jeff sessions, too. 

Bloody Cat.

Anyone else's pets lose their mind when it gets nice out?

Mosquit-NO

As most of you know, I get destroyed by mosquitos in the summer.

(This background is important for the next part of the story.)

I was sitting in a work meeting, having a conversation about an outdoor event that will take place at dusk in June. My coworker dropped this comment:

In that moment, my world changed. 

Did you all know about this too?? HOW COME NOBODY TOLD ME??!?

Anyway, I told Boyfriend too, so this happened the next time I went over his house:

The more bracelets, the better. In fact, I'm going to load up and report back this summer. I'm feeling pretty invincible.  

Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day to my fellow Americans!  I'll be celebrating by holding my cat and pretending Trump isn't president. Hurray!

Long Live the Monarchy!

Just kidding, of course. I'm totally against the idea of a monarchy. In theory. 

You guys....I am who I am. 

A Mother's Day Rant

Yesterday morning, I did my weekly grocery run. 

yes, basic necessity shopping for 10:30 am on a Sunday.

It was business as usual. Except this slightly odd exchange on the way out:

Kind of weird, right? I figured one of two things was happening. 

1. He assumed every adult female human was a mother. This is bad for many reasons, akin to asking a woman when her baby is due. Just...no. 

or

2. Wishing someone a "Happy Mother's Day" has now become "celebrating the idea of motherhood so generally that it's normal to do to a total stranger" in which case, my response was perfectly appropriate.  

But seriously, can we please stop doing this with holidays?  See war on christmas. Here's a suggestion: how about we only wish people a happy fill-in-the-blank if we know they celebrate said holiday? Or else society is going to devolve into this:

I hope Boyfriend remembered to buy me a present for grandparents' day this year.
