I am both my niblings' most difficult and their least difficult aunt, because I'm their one and only. I *do* hope that I'm up to the challenge. (I am always their least fashionable one; I have no settees.)

I used to spend some evenings/weekends in a giant empty NYC office building, perhaps stupidly if not psychopathically. In one case, my plan was to drop by and grab some work to take home; my purpose, it seems, was to discover a ginormous flood starting one floor above, and alert the authorities.

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Mitch McConnell offers an object lesson for all the Republicans who think they can tame this tiger -- even if you do everything in your power to advance Trump's agenda and sabotage two different impeachment trials that would remove him, the Felon Messiah King will still demand your head.
