* "Sen. Merkley: SCOTUS seat 'is being stolen':"
* "Can US intelligence trust President-elect Trump?:"
* I am mot surprised the Russian government was in touch with the Trump campaign from early on to help them win and we already knew they were using hacks to help him. The surprise for me is that Russian officials are bragging openly about their work to get Trump into power as a puppet.
This of course means that Russian Intelligence will likely have full access to US Presidential Intelligence briefings.
This is the man the FBI was willing to break the law to get elected. Seriously, WTF. They HAD to know.
* If they do this, I will die. A whole lot of people will die. "After GOP wins, Paul Ryan puts Medicare in the crosshairs:" http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/after-gop-wins-paul-ryan-puts-medicare-the-crosshairs
If they were actually worried about the long term financial viability of the program they would not be taking action to deliberately make it insolvent. Instead they would repeal the Bush Era tax cut for the rich that capped their contributions so they pay a smaller share of their income in than everyone else.

* "Warren on Trump: We've got some places where we could overlap:"
* "Senator Warren: 'We stand up and we fight back':"
* RIP Leonard Cohen. "Hallelujah:"
* ""Democracy" by Leonard Cohen:"
* And because I'm still grieving that other thing:
* "Dylan Thomas reads "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night":"
* "Momus - What Will Death Be Like? :"
* "Common, John Legend - Glory:"
* "Hello Birmingham:"
* "Bright Eyes - Easy / Lucky / Free:"
* My slow paperwork war with that transphobe in Harrisburg sitting on my birth certificate just suddenly stopped being cute. no, I don't have a passport. I can't afford one, and being a hassle, it was the last phase of my document update journey. I do have friends looking into it anyway.
* In other news, someone gave friends these big tubs of used Halloween costumes and decorations. They let me pick stuff out, so I have a bunch of new (to me) decorations for next year, including these amazing bone lights and a tiny tesla coil ball thingie that now decorates my room.
* It comes up periodically, and it has a few times lately, so I will mention that no one has to follow me. I don't mind if it's not your cup of tea. There is also no reason to follow my lj and tumblr both if you don't want to. The Lj/dreamwidth version is condensed. It comes with the best of the links, including the best of things I see on tumblr. It has the Personal stuff. It has the news summaries, reviews, and commentary. If you want way more reblogs of quotes, political stuff, humor, and images that suit my aesthetic interests, the tumblr version may be your thing. I know I'm spammy and tumblr wears people out. Never feel guilty for not being up to it even if we are rl friends.

Dreamwidth version: http://gwydion.dreamwidth.org/
Tumblr Version: http://gwydionmisha.tumblr.com/
Tumblr is catch as catch can with images tending to be most of what happens by day.
The Dreamwidth/livejournal is deliberately organized with charity links at the bottom below the line. If you are an anxious reader, generally the lighter stuff is at the bottom and the more serious stuff at the top, so one can read bottom up if one isn't sure how much one is up to on a given day.
Again, seriously, I do not track who and who isn't reading me and there is no need to worry about offending me if you unfollow. Do what you need to do. Be gentle to yourselves out there.
