Dear world, I am deeply ashamed. Mortified. And terrified. Burning crosses on every corner, losses of livelihoods and basic human rights. Rape culture given legitimacy. This is not the country I thought it was, or was becoming, and I hate what I see now that the cover has been torn off. I don't want to be here anymore ( Read more... )

I desperately hope so, and not just because Clinton is quite literally the only candidate in the race who is qualified - overly qualified - for the job, but because the alternative is legitimately horrifying. Anybody who doesn't understand how frightening the alternative is clearly failed history in school, and shame on you for being so ill ( Read more... )

So last week LJ got hit with another DOS attack, I guess. I saw that I couldn't bring up my own profile page for a couple of days, then I could barely get on at all.

That kid is going to grow up to be a heartbreaker - just like his idol. Has good taste too. :D

But I do love ( Read more... )

Watching the President's speech at the Giffords memorial reminds me why I voted for the man two years ago.

I spent all day yesterday finally packing up the inside holiday decorations. We got the outside lights and lawn ornaments, and the tree, all taken down last weekend. But I dragged my feet all week in packing up the inside, mostly because it's just a lot of work and I didn't feel like doing it, plain and simple ( Read more... )

I voted days ago, by mail. Yes, I have one of those "I voted" graphics I normally pull out on election day, but, eh, not feeling it. It's not like I voted for anyone I truly believed in - went with the lesser of the evils, and I have a feeling the larger of the evils are going to be winning most of the Florida battles anyway. I don't think things ( Read more... )
