irc is the dinosaur that's kind of downgraded to a chicken now: it was fearsome in its time, but i lost the metaphor

Politics, morality, group v individuals, police, corruption 

Individuals and groups are often conflated and it's hard sometimes to make that separation. "Not all men" etc. It's true that not all men are actively woman-hating. It's true that not all cis people are transphobic. It's true that not all cops are evil.
But institutions and group dynamics create places where this behavior is unquestioned and unchallenged.

Wow, who knew that being told "cheer up" or being forced to pretend to be happy was unhealthy????????????????

Nazis, protest, Seattle 

friend pinged me, asked if I wanted to come to anti-Nazi rally downtown. I had to say no because of my continuing terrible digestion thing. which makes me mad, because I kind of want to go. but it looks like (no frickin' surprise) it'll be like 200 nazis and 2000 anti-nazis so. HAVE FUN KIDS

it's pouring down rain and I feel SO MUCH BETTER. <3 Seattle. thank you, my dear. *krrrrrrrrr*

@mooncake Forgive me if you already know this, but people need to beware of tearing that stuff down bare-handed. Sometimes they booby-trap it.

It's called Rocky Mountain Cakes. Kids try it at parties, next thing they know they're in a cemetery gettin' paid to argue with librarians.

OH YEAH AND I took Spouse to the farmer's market today, sadly the awesome GF baker didn't have coffee cake (awww) but I got some lemon pound cake slices (fantastic, but the coffee cake is *better* imo) and a small peach pie (which I haven't tried yet), and Spouse got a ~whole bunch~ of produce. I think I've convinced him to hit farmer's markets on a more regular basis. ;)
