I feel like my apartment is falling apart. The ceiling in the bedroom needs fixing (I need to talk to the contractor), the toilet decided to not flush properly the last two days, and I found either one very smart roach or two less dumb ones the last three days. NOT into it.
Frivolity:
I've been watching a lot of SVU because that's my comfort/background show of choice right now and y'al Ice T needs more flowers for the work he does on this show. I love when Fin and Benson team up especially.
New drip that’s to the bed so I’m on the couch
Christ, my ceiling is leaking water and plaster bits. Handyman won’t come til tomorrow. At least he says he’s safe to sleep there still
Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about.
Their stories should be known:

BREAKING: Streetsblog NYC just posted a great job for a law-enforcement reporter: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
I think he later talked about Cuba so you’re not far off
I think it happened on Sunday?
Yeah, he was signing something or whatever and sharted and the reporters were quickly shuffled out of the office. He has stunk up the White House on many levels. I refuse to watch the video with audio but allegedly you can hear it.
I can’t get over that the world is so utterly bonkers that the President shitting himself on tv was considered a blip.
Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.
we recognize that amazon is NOT AN IDEAL TOOL for this moment, so for those who don't want to give them money (fair!!!) please visit standwithminnesota.com and pick someone from the MANY OPTIONS. There are so many folks who need help! 💓
Nowadays I like certain things but the motivation to just DO the thing is hard to jumpstart. I think if every gym teacher had been like her, though, it would have been less a chore and more an adventure.
I had one but only part of the year. Ms. Pinto was amazing. She gave us the health information our actual instructor didn't and took us on walks around the neighborhood and told us its history. I think if she had consistently been my teacher I'd have a better relationship with exercise overall.

This is how I’m coping with the world being on fire. Frivolous reality and sometimes prestige tv
Sidenote: some of these dresses are legit hideous and I question how they ended up made.
I’ve also never really thought too deeply about any future wedding I may or may not have. I’m in a wedding in March so other people’s weddings are on my mind.
Anyway, 2010 was a wild time for self tanner, thin eyebrows, and questionable hairstyles.
Some of the guys seem nice or whatever. The ones we generally meet are meh and I don’t get their appeal.
I’ve been watching old episodes of Say Yes to the Dress (an old coworker was in one but I can’t remember her name or which episode so we’re going with the year around when I know she did it) and the beautiful woman dating a meh man who treats her questionably, even on camera, is an ongoing thing.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
My employer decided to stop covering one of my meds without saying anything so imagine my surprise when the pharmacist says it’s like $600/mo now. He did some mysterious and amazing magic and somehow got it down to $25 this month. He is my favorite. Love my local pharmacy always

It may be easy to dismiss Justin Olson's comments that people with disabilities shouldn't get married as right-wing claptrap. But the American government discourages it because if people with disabilities get married, they risk losing their SSI benefits.
