yeah, thinking back I guess I did file for divorce just about a month after the Women's March
it's just repellent

I've gone with a flowered blouse (hides stains!) and my dress Carhartts

the leadership visit was scheduled months ago and of course we had the "opportunity for professional development" arise on Sunday afternoon and further develop yesterday morning
because that's how these things always go

ooof
time to figure out which blouse is best able to communicate to senior political leadership
some of whom have flown in from distant places
that what happened yesterday isn't a screwup that's put the project weeks behind schedule
it's an opportunity and an exciting discovery
(the opportunity is in a mud hole, so at least my footwear is sorted: I will be in my very classy knee-high XRATUFs)

see, I spent many years being the person in the room who was waaaaay younger than my peers
and now I get my ass kicked for it lol
(actually I think it's made me better about mentoring, because I spent so many years as "the kid")

if I can learn to be ok with being old enough to be your mother, I feel like you should be able to learn to be ok with it too
besides, 40 is the really hard one 🤣

you don't know until you litigate
but I just don't think it's fair to say the deep state isn't busting its ass out here
bureaucratic and legal speed bumps have saved a lot of people and a lot of public resources over the years

IDK I'm going to be pretty happy if what brings down Big AI is the years we spent shitposting and writing pornographic fanfiction

I'm sorry I'm laughing so hard
of all the claims to make
why the fuck would anyone imagine the wobblies would be pledging allegiance to some midlevel Iranian schmuck
(I can imagine someone taping up that picture of Lenin and his cat in a Wobbly union hall, but it would be, like, over a urinal in the men's room)

hey #Oregon, turn in your ballots!
in my county we have a moderate running against a J6 dingbat county councilman -- you might have a similar opportunity to improve your community, and given current voter turnout, you could have a disproportionate impact
this weekend is a great time to get that vote in the mail

reflecting on the bear-or-man discourse
and thinking about how my good dog protected me, over the years, from both bears and men
she faced down my violent ex-husband when he tried to kick in the door of my house
and a bear that tried to walk through our camp one night, up the Skok
and this makes me think that really what women need isn't an array of bad choices
it's to be supported so that we have the freedom and resources to be out in the world safely
also, dogs are pretty great
