This one's easy: I just tuned in, but I already know what I think about the shooter: fuck that asshole. I'm against civil war and anyone who wants to speed it up, knowingly or not. Fascists aren't. It's a real simple line. It's not centrism to say we're against killing. That's their idiot thing.

I wish my brain worked like normal people's brains. I would love to be able to organize stuff. It must be so nice. I watch my husband and daughter in law just organize the hell out of things, while my daughters and I just marvel at their ability and trip over furniture. We're a mess.

The United States government has ordered its employees not to speak at any events for World AIDS Day or promote them on social media.
I guess they think that if we ignore HIV/AIDS it will just go away.
It didn’t work for Reagan and it’s not going to work now.

My musical heroes keep dying off... I guess it's the age for it (of course, a lot of them died young, so good job, Jimmy Cliff-RIP).

I love film. I love it when someone tells me a story, puts wonderful moving pictures with it, adds great music, finds people to pretend to be characters in the story, and makes it play out for a couple of hours while I watch and eat tasty popcorn. What a great invention!

Why do I find Nick Offerman (is that his name?) attractive when he’s kind of chubby and schlumpfy? Daughter says it’s because he exudes self confidence without seeming arrogant. Is that it?
