In my lifetime, I have watched as we have devolved from a man being disqualified from seeking the presidency because he didnā€™t know how to spell potato to a pathologically dishonest, election tampering rapist being treated as a serious candidate, rather than a serious threat. The growth of power of the reactionary, white supremacist right wing is terrifying.

We're clearly seeing what many leaders have said in the past, that freedom and democracy is a fragile thing that needs fostering and protecting.

Woke up. 10:11. I missed the debate, I thought. I turned on the TV. Asked about Americans needing substance use disorder treatment, Trump starts yammering about ā€œcatch and releaseā€ border policies, because treating humans like fish somehow gets people SUD treatment? I turned the TV off and felt true despair that this rapist fraudulent filth has true believers.

One drawback of using the Internet for grocery shopping is that scented products are crapshoot. For some unknown reason, blue Dawn dish detergent has a new scent, akin to the perfumes old rich ladies love, floral with a chemical underbite, and it clings to the skin. Now I have a big bottle that is three months+ worth of the stuff and I have to try again to find non-latex dishwashing gloves because I canā€™t walk around smelling like this every time I wash a plate.

Had I purchased this in person in a store, I wouldā€™ve smelled it before I bought it.

And all of this is necessary because the dye-free, lower scent version of Dawn, which has a light chemical lemon scent thatā€™s mainly inoffensive, doesnā€™t clean well. It takes a soup spoon of blue Dawn to wash a sink full of dishes, and twice that of the dye-free, and more on my sponge. They are definitely not the same base product with different colorings and perfumes at all.

@sollat iā€™ve never tried Mrs. Meyers. I went through every ā€œfree and clearā€œ dish liquid Icould order. Seventh Generation, Palmolive, Ivory, Dawn, and they just donā€™t clean well. Since I hand wash everything, donā€™t have a dishwasher, I actually need something that can clean my pots and my casserole dishes with baked on food.

It really is hard to overstate how sleazy and inexcusable it is to churn out a constant stream of non-news stories (vaguely disguised op-eds, really) about Biden being too old to lead, based on nebulous feelings and speech foibles that arenā€™t new.

His age isnā€™t going to change and barring death or calamity, neither is the reality that heā€™s going to be the nominee up against a rapist fascist who promises to burn everything down. Pretending this is a real choice is journalistic malpractice.

@amaditalks I feel like with years, Iā€™m ok, but relative timeā€¦oof. The other day I said ā€œyour wife got that dog like 2 weeks ago, right?ā€ to @federicomena then went ā€œwaitā€¦you were out of the country when that happenedā€¦and you werenā€™t traveling two weeks agoā€¦in fact I got your postcard last week, soā€¦two months ago?ā€

Often call one daughter the other's name and get shit for it.

More than ever, this is what today feels like.

What are you doing to protect the trans people around you?

An illustration of a deer with large antlers, with its head drawn within the targeting scope used by a hunter, itā€™s skull exposed as if the scope were an x-ray. Beside it is a caption in all capital letters reading ā€œ invisibility without protection is a threat.ā€œ The entire image is washed in the white, blue and pink colors of the trans pride flag.
