Shots fired, Neil.

@mister914 I wish secession were viable. Half the country seems determined to be ruled by a dictator. You can't force democracy on that. Let those of us who still believe in democracy live in it, and for those who want a racist, sexist, xenophobic dictatorship, be nice to be able to leave them to themselves to have it Hopefully if they were to get what they fight for, they won't want it any more.

But it doesn't seem viable.

The world is fighting back against Musk, Trump, Vance, and their puppetmaster Putin. Here's our latest wins part 1!

Quick shout out to charitynavigator.org. The U.S. situation is beyond distressing. When I don't know what to effectively do, I give a bit of $ to orgs that do. CN gives me a level of confidence I'm choosing orgs that handle donations responsibly.

The current American political events are dire. Sen. Chris Murphy puts it all into words. I cannot put into words my own internal state, knowing more than half of voters chose this. I do not know how anyone didn't see this as an outcome. Horrifying.

@Jennifer Same. Tuned in for a few minutes to election coverage and noped out. Why focus on anxiety for hours and hours. Currently watching British comedy comfort tv. 😑

@Green_Footballs Also, me after the biweekly 40-person, 2+ hour, webex-mandatory-cameras-on work team meeting. So painful.

Just shared two major lists of autism traits in females with someone who is wondering if they’re autistic and crying as I reread all of the things that led to me pursuing an autism diagnosis at age 48, you know, as one does. These lists literally changed my life.

Edit: deleted second list due to the author’s transphobia. I apologize for sharing it in my original post.

Man I love the British Holiday TV specials. Big Fat Quiz, House of Games, Cats Does Countdown, and looking forward to Taskmaster and WILTY.

I'm roughly the same age as Bohemian Rhapsody, and just tonight learned they are saying "Bismillah". I thought it was an accusation - "He spilled blood" 🙃

Bee Gees Stayin' Alive dance mix. Can't get enough of this.
