Oh, and the rise of school shootings.

I'm shocked that we haven't set many things on fire, but I guess we're now at the age where we also have to take care of our Boomer parents.

I know millennials are often seen as privileged and useless, but we've now lived through two elections decided by the Electoral College and not by popular vote. Two wars in the Middle East started by idiot Republicans. As well as the dot com bubble bursting and the Great Recession.

I guess it would be a good time to read one of the books from my TBR pile.

Oh right, this is the week we were told to go into COVID lockdown.

Watching that World Cup was great. It made me want to finally get some braids because all of the black players had beautiful ones.

Have to share this whenever someone mentions a striking women's team. South Africa at the last women's World Cup. youtu.be/hejT6TMFrds?...

You will not be surprised that there was some incompetence on the part of the energy company in charge of running the plant.

There's an HBO documentary about Fukushima streaming now. I didn't realize that today is exactly 15 years since the earthquake and resulting tsunami that caused the disaster.

I forgot about Lindsay Graham existing, but now he's out here reminding me why he's a piece of shit.

The thing about being agnostic is that I have to hold my tongue when my mother's friends talk about praying for her. It's been many, many years since I was a child in Catholic school.

Her male companion gave me A Look. I rolled my eyes and then smiled to not be rude.

Just overheard "I haven't had any food today."

I really don't miss being a 20-something woman.

I do love this new sweater though. It works very well with all of my soft bras.

I know my look is somewhat dated, but it works for me. The other choices happening around me are...

Decided to go out for some observing. I'm wearing a loose-knit sweater, skinny jeans, and designer sneakers.

Some of The Youths are full 2003 in lingerie dresses and shoes I want to set on fire.

I was a small child in Massachusetts when Dukakis ran for POTUS. I feel the need to read more about that campaign and race.

I am thinking about going to the Americana tomorrow to gently touch some fancy clothes at Nordstrom.

I don't need any more sweaters, and I definitely don't need new handbags. I just like to look at them and lust after them.

I actually need to do a sweater cull because a lot of my older ones are near death but taking up space in my dresser that should be occupied by my newer ones.

Introducing children to the classics is very important.

My thread complaining about latter Outlander might be my most engaged with over here. It almost feels like The Before.

I looked at one Cuyana bag online a couple of weeks ago, and now every ad I get is full of Cuyana sweaters and bags.

I live in Los Angeles, targeted advertising! Leave me alone!

It's very rape-y.

The last time I went to the ballet was in this venue.

As a woman who has known many friends who have been assaulted, I just don't have time for it when it's obviously gratuitous.

When recently rewatching a ton of Poirot, I noticed something similar.

I made it to S4E1 and then bounced.

I honestly can't imagine what my relatives in Jamaica think of this country.

I had to give my mother some bad news today, so complaining about Outlander's decline is a nice break from real things.
