9 Oct 20: good grief

In short:

yes, another hurricane is battering Louisiana; the Lake Charles mayor ordered everyone to evacuate; Mom and Dad left for Houston on Thursday, and the normally 2.5 hour drive took them 8.5 hours;

their house couldn’t get much more destroyed, so at least there’s not nearly as much to worry about as last time;

does anyone at the White House NOT have covid?

until we have two fact-based candidates for any political seat, can we ban all debates?

in the meantime:

yes you did because…

neither could we!

18/19 September 2020: Ruth

And the hits just keep on coming. I’ve been in shock since hearing the news, many hours ago, of RBG’s death. I’m despondent, heartbroken, terrified, flat. Two friends and I took candles, wine, signs, and love to the Supreme Court this evening. I wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else. Rest in peace and power, Ruth, and thank you. Thank you for your courage, fortitude, certitude, feminism. You will remain a fierce torch for so many!
