Woke up with this in my head: “Not a Rebel (Margaret Thatcher)” by Mexican Institute of Sound https://youtu.be/Vpgb_bhmKYE

JFC, I hate these people so much.

It’s like these fuckers have a hat with every non-white ethnicity and the secretaries just draw out of a hat to see which department gets to fuck over which people. What’s the next fresh hell they’re going to introduce? The Department of Energy going after Southeast Asians?

DeVos urged to probe Chinese spying at U.S. universities

Let’s just lay it out: we’re imprisoning Latinx people in concentration camps even with valid green cards; we’re upholding the Muslim travel ban; Sessions is renewing the War on Drugs to throw Black and brown people in for profit prisons; and now we’re going after Chinese college students?

Also, the way I discovered this was when I found one of my partner XR capsules on the floor, obviously chewed up, so don’t take for granted that they won’t go for your capsules because the sweet stuff is inside.

(It was a 10 mg, and our kitty was eventually OK, if entirely messed up for 18 hours... I, on the other hand, was an absolute wreck of worry for her. Thank god it was one of his and not one of my 20 mg ones!)

Did you know that cats LOVE the taste of Adderall and that it is potentially deadly to them? As little as 20 mg can be fatal to your kitty. Most cats don’t enjoy the taste of other medications because they are bitter, but the sweet taste of amphetamine salts is their jam. Make sure to store your meds away from them in secure containers and don’t leave dropped pills on the floor for more than a second.

I know that as soon as I do she will go ballistic with the biting and scratching my hand, but when my cat does this, I just want to scrumble her tummy.

And now that I’ve done my civic duty of telling other people to vote when I can’t in my own district, it’s time to go buy some produce at the farmer’s market.

Baby boomers are not going to vote progressive in the primaries, but they’re also NOT going to vote against their party or sit home in the general. You can decide this today.

It sure feels weird to simultaneously be like, “Destroy the state!” and also, “Look, while there’s still a state, we could use some harm reduction, so maybe vote if that’s a thing you do and vote for the people who want to dismantle harmful institutions?”

I get why people decide not to vote— it’s always a hugely emotionally stressful thing for me, because I get invested despite myself and years of being cynical about it.

So ready for that not to be a thing anymore.

If you’re a New Yorker, a person who votes, and a registered Democrat, check your district primaries today because there’s a lot of progressive, anti-ICE candidates looking to overturn centrist and conservative dems at the House level.

NYC elections are decided at the primaries because whoever wins the dem nod is nearly guaranteed to win the general. If you vote at all, this election is actually the one that will decide who goes to Congress more than the one in November.

(And I say this lying in bed with already sore shoulders after working out this evening, but still.)

It’s weird, but I feel like I’ve reached a point in growing older where I am more often celebrating things I left behind in my youth than mourning the ones I’ve lost. Getting older seems like good stuff these days.

No one expects as much unpaid work as the wealthy.

I identify as bisexual, that is, attracted to both genders:
1. My own
2. All the other ones
