I think how @densetsu toys with moving to Kentucky to vote against McConnell, I want to move to Nebraska to vote against Sasse. GOD I HATE HIM AND HIS SMUG AHISTORICAL GRIFT SO MUCH.

I think I need something new to happen.

CATS ARE JERKS.

That’s all. Good morning, everyone who isn’t one of my cats.

I got tickets to some Twin Cities Horror Festival shows for next weekend and the weekend after.

And requested books about the 19th century Chautauqua movement through interlibrary loan.

So it's been a real party for a Friday.

The Rapid City Journal endorsed the Democrat for governor.

I know this means very little to most people, but it's left me feeling like…

This is what a container of takeout looks like after I’ve eaten... after I’ve had a bit too much to eat, actually.

As I’ve said before: drowning in leftovers.

This is all I’ve ever wanted. 😭

I’m having mapo tofu. 😋🥡😍🌟

argh ben's on a work call and he's a therapist and i could hear everything he's saying so now i have to turn on the central heating so we're hipaa-compliant and now the apartment will be too hot

FEDERAL LAWS ARE TYRANNY *hordes guns and canned food*

*mutters*

god i hate caucuses

i hate primaries, too

but *GOD* i hate caucuses

Anyhow, democracy requires a lot of really boring labor and only a fraction of it takes place during those goddamn caucuses that this state is so ridiculously attached to.

A fun response to people who complain that political parties are unresponsive to people who don't take steps to pressure them and/or don't consider themselves (at a minimum) peripheral party members, is to heap shame upon them for, at the very least, not being election judges.

I went to the super political indie bookstore and after about 10 minutes of involuntary eavesdropping among the engaged but profoundly misinformed staff and quickly found as many things as I could to drain the gift card I had and left.

27 articles downloaded from JSTOR. How many will I actually read? Let's start a pool!

(I was weighting down the tea bag in the hot water with a fork and then… okay, it wasn't hot enough to really *burn*, but it was uncomfortable, surprising and wholly avoidable.)

How many times in this life am I going to absentmindedly forget what an excellent conductor of heat metal is? OW. THAT. HURT.

Anyhow, in the end, "X will win campaigns if they do Y because Y appeals to me" isn't actually smart strategizing.

One of the others I found (and I'm really going to stop looking into this now): "One minute you're attending a party atop the world's tallest skyscraper. The next... you're trapped with 294 other guests in the middle of a fiery hell."

YES! THAT IS MY LIFE PRECISELY.

Look at this little homewrecker.

Oh. Ben's is, "There are three sides to this love story."

Which is either smuttily exciting or betrays how I prefer to hanging out with cats rather than Deal With Things.
