Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

Thoughts in rapid succession: I’m going to NEED a neon crescent moon; I’m going to NEED colorful stained glass panels in a gothic frame; I’m going to need time to study the visuals and lyrics. #Hooked #U2

Watching Dancing With The Stars. They’re celebrating Superbowl Halftime Shows of years past. I wonder if they’ll include the year I performed. 🤔 #DWTS

Home. #1GoodThing

Infinity pool. Cabana. View of the Sphere AND red mountains to the west. Day drinking. Good friends. Shrimp tacos. Kindle. College ball. #1GoodThing

Vacation. #1GoodThing

As I was emptying crumbs out of the tote bag I used to take lunch to the office a non-insignificant amount of cash fell out of the pocket. #1GoodThing

In "Next To You" by The Police are there car horns accenting some of the afterbeats? I've never noticed that before.

Public libraries. #1GoodThing

Thou shalt not use tax dollars to pay for fascist commercials.

Another concert date added to my calendar. #1GoodThing

Suddenly trees all over town are displaying shades of fall. #1GoodThing

Deck time. #1GoodThing

Extra kitty cuddle time. #1GoodThing

Unpacking completed. #1GoodThing

Perfect weather for the festival. #1GoodThing

In all seriousness, @jococruise.bsky.social is a truly excellent way for nerds (or anyone else!) to dip a toe into the cruise thing. The the community that's developed over 15 years of the cruise is welcoming and friendly. There are always things to do, officially programmed and otherwise. It's fun!

Once you start conceding ground to the “protect sports” angle in order to win an election you’re not fighting for anyone’s rights

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be “It’s simple math, vote blue no matter who, grow up” and ALSO believe you are fighting fascism by making calculations as to who’s expendable. The world we’re in now demands more from us. More from everyone.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Sleeping in my own bed. #1GoodThing

Somehow I feel personally attacked.

one of the things that never fails to make me see red is thinking about how he brutally beat rihanna and she was encouraged by the industry to let it go so it wouldn’t ruin his career. anyway fuck you jasmine.

A really epic day enjoying the reason we came to Glasgow, and the people who made it possible. #1GoodThing

Cocktail with dinner “Watermelon Sugar.” Yummy. Gin, watermelon, lemonade. Very balanced. #Vacation.

Plane on time. Through security. Vacation mode engaged.

The one year we decide to transfer through Heathrow, rather than Dublin (because the layovers are HOURS), air traffic over London is paused for technical difficulties. Welp. #Vacation

One more sleep. #1GoodThing

I guess I’m just destined to not be a Harrie. MSG tickets went on sale when I was in the ER. I tried to get a ticket on my phone but no luck. I’m leaving for Scotland tomorrow. It’s too much to hope tix won’t go on sale before I return. If the rumors are true, good luck everyone #KATTDO

Mom time. #1GoodThing

Vacation. #1GoodThing

Vacation days appearing on the weather forecast. #1GoodThing

Extra kitty lap time. A small perk of cooler weather. #1GoodThing

The closet in my home office was fitted with a flimsy wire shelf/hanging system which started sagging and pulling away from the wall. Today the property manager replaced it with a clothes rod, mounted higher to accommodate longer garments (the only closet in the home to do so). #1GoodThing

Cat nap with a cat. #1GoodThing

Travel plans. #1GoodThing

Working out on the deck I spotted a juvenile WOODPECKER for the first time living here. Sorry, no photos. Birdy was camera shy today. #1GoodThing

Dinner out at a very favorite, and much beloved, restaurant which is closing soon because the owners want to stop running it. I’m going to miss it but good on them for choosing to rest while they’re still young enough to enjoy it. #1GoodThing

Deck time. #1GoodThing

Spent the evening celebrating life and music by attending the David Byrne show at Berkeley’s Greek Theater. #1GoodThing

Nearly every seat was filled in the IMAX for The Odyssey tonight. If you’re still looking for tickets, imaxxing.io #1GoodThing

A Ted Lasso Spider-Man Ted Lasso sandwich. #1GoodThing

Some good news that lightens the pressure a bit. #1GoodThing

Home. #1GoodThing

I cannot believe this. I am so sad.

Family swung by to help. #1GoodThing

If you can get a friend who offers encouragement by sending you back to back tracks from Mary Poppins and Masters of the Universe I recommend it. #1GoodThing
