i hope every time i post from now on it's not a variation of "what a weekend, huh?" but, uh, what a weekend, huh? i hope everyone survived the crowdstrike bullshit on friday - i got exactly two emails from the u and nothing from my department's it guys so i figured we were in the clear. i worked a half day and then drove down to the cape for my ( Read more... )

A mini writers' retreat sounds like fun!

Re: politics - as a helpless international bystander, I'm just hoping the doomsayers are wrong and you can head off the Trump Vance evil empire combo. The last thing the world and the US needs is another dark age.

it was fun! we wrote and ate and sat around and commiserated with writer g and ate some more.

honestly, it looks like harris is doing better against the orange menace than biden was, and that's encouraging. it doesn't help that vance comes across as DEEPLY WEIRD and a tch creepy. i mean, he's not helping trump's cause at all.

I'm infuriated that Biden was pressured to drop out. I'm pretty pissed off at the NY Times right now, as they had a big hand in that... while failing to continually emphasize that Trump is a serial liar, a felon, and showing major signs of dementia almost every time he talks.

I worry that swing voters (and racists and sexists) won't vote for Kamala, and also... Biden's record was fantastic. Plus his will to fight Trump. *sigh* I've been depressed ever since the announcement.

Your writer's retreat sounds fantastic, though. Lucky you!

oh, the times really has some shit to answer for. they've been going easy on trump since before he was president and i read that they're so hard on biden because the owner of the paper is pissy that biden wouldn't sit for an interview with him. (probably because joe knew they'd misrepresent whatever he said.) i thought he was kind of railroaded into dropping out but people seem to be really enthusiastic about harris which makes me think maybe we're ready for a female president after all.

the retreat was really fun and i'm not just saying that because i wrote a lot of smut. :D
