Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

A lot of tech and finance people interact with are regularly flabbergasted just how unapologetically proud I am of studying theatre and art tbh.
They're so used to humanities majors minimizing their field that when someone doesn't, it throws a lot of em off.

Welp, taxes are now at least e-filed. Obviously, the odds on it all being processed before the government shuts down (since I do assume at this point it will) are slim to none, but at least it's in the queue.

We should have all known that the moment progressives pulled out their own guns and the black panthers were back in the news defending their communities, that would be the time for common sense gun control. Not 20 some school shootings back, don't be silly.

You know all those jokes that were popular a hot minute ago in which some minion (who alternates between the usual players) corrects the fella's misuse of the word 'less' to 'fewer' and the fella says "You're not supposed to start calling me that yet!"
Yeah, I think we passed the 'yet' a bit ago.

Started binge-watching TURN because I'd never seen it and with four seasons in the can, it'll amuse me a few episodes a day for at least a week.
7 eps into S1, I think there's maybe 4 characters I don't hate entirely: Abe, his baby, Washington, and maybe Baker, the sole Redcoat that seems decent. 🙄

Finally getting around to watch TURN on Netflix. Soldiers turned loose on a community by the minions of a mad king without real safeguards, expecting that they can brutalize and take what they want and that the peons will not only obey but show love and loyalty? Nah, totally unrealistic, amirite?
