Long in the tooth, VOTE BLUE in Georgia

God, y’all, I am tired. Can we just inaugurate President Biden already? I am so sick of the revolting, destructive, anti-science, anti-fact, anti-reality, racist, bigoted, violent, embarrassing republicans and their psychotic idiot-in-chief, cheeto satan.

The past few days in review:

> More than 300,000 Americans have died from Covid-19 and new infection and death records are being set on the regular.

> There is a giant tantrum being thrown over on the Right because Dr. Jill Biden likes to be called Dr., a degree and title she earned and has every right to be called.

> There is another giant tantrum being thrown by the Right because Biden’s campaign manager said the Republicans on Capitol Hill were a bunch of fuckers. Nicolle Wallace responded best to this inanity by asking, “Are we really talking about the f word in any context other than the f-ing people who stood by Trump as he boasted about “grabbing women in the pussy”, smeared “shit hole countries” called black NFL players “sons of bitches” and assaulted our democracy while ignoring covid?”

> Trumpers taped a threatening letter to the back door of the Jacksonville, FL, Democratic Party HQ saying "We want blood. You lost the election. Redress our grievances now or we will be back later." The note included names and faces of the group's officers.

> AFTER receiving classified briefings about Covid, Georgia senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue downplayed the virus publicly AND invested in body bags.

> Chief of critical care at Houston Memorial Medical Center told NPR that “half of his nurses won’t take the COVID vaccine for ‘political reasons.”

I am having just a bit of trouble with all this fuckery and the fuckers instigating and propagating it.

THE SINGLE BEST thing we could do to remedy a lot of broken America is to kick Loeffler and Perdue out by replacing them with RAPHAEL WARNOCK and JON OSSOFF, the two incredible Democratic candidates running against Barbie and Chicken in the January 5 US Senate runoffs in Georgia. Over one million Georgians have already voted early. If you live in Georgia, please vote Warnock AND Ossoff. If you live outside of Georgia, please make calls and texts and donate money to the Warnock and Ossoff campaigns or to anything Stacey Abrams tells you to. Fair Fight and the New Georgia Project are great organizations doing important work in GA on behalf of ALL Georgians, not just the white ones.

So, please stay involved (I know we’re all tired as fuck) and keep the hope and determination. In the meantime, Happy Hannukah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, and cheers for a happy, healthy 2021. And, keep your eyes on the Cabinet Pres Biden and VP Harris are currently seating. My god will it be nice to have smart, patriotic, fact-based humans in charge again.

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving sure raced up on us this year. Or maybe that always happens. I don’t know. Last year, the boys and I were in California for the holiday; so much has changed since. A trip seems like some sort of pipe dream right now. I miss much of the way life was, but I find myself terribly thankful tonight. My kids have all of their grandparents within mere miles of us now. Four healthy grandparents that enrich their and our lives so much. Losing their home was devastating for Mom and Dad, for my sister and me, but truth be told, the silver lining in this case is truly magnificent. I suppose that’s selfish, but I don’t mean it like that. It’s just awfully nice to be able to drop by and see my parents, to have them in our lives so regularly in a way only proximity allows. I loved growing up with my Nanny and Papa nearby, and I am grateful Jack and Ol now have that in spades.

I enjoyed lazily making pies today and look forward to a cozy, small feast tomorrow. Wishing you all a healthy Thanksgiving. Wear your masks if you leave your house!
