Democrats are surging in the polls ahead of November 👏 Fox News has Democrats up 7 on the generic congressional ballot, and Pew has Trump at just 34% approval. Troy Jackson is leading Susan Collins in Maine. And James Talarico continues to draw record crowds in Texas. The wave is building.

Okay. This was written in a slightly different form on my main/fandom tumblr blog. This original post was addressing someone attempting to dissuade me from getting out of what is an increasingly untenable situation. (For which they decided to block me, which is fair. I was attempting to be forthright and informative. This was taken badly. Most likely because my attempting to be forthright is kind of blunt and mean-spirited even when I don’t intend to be.

STRENGTH CRUSHES ENEMIES! DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU CAN TALK TO?
Scrolling palate cleanser: my chihuahua Honey. I've had her for a couple months and she's adorable. She has already torn a toy to shreds: Roy would gave been proud. #puppy #chihuahua
A "what do you think you're doing, you don't even have a pattern" crochet i only recently learned how to do granny squares but instead of doing something with that, let's just crochet in the round and see what happens. A scroll palate cleanser.

Frog and Toad looked into a mirror. “We look brave,” said Frog. “Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.
A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
Okay, I am super envious. Whole artisanal looking loaf sliced right this minute sounds really cool. (You can't really ask the bakers in the grocery store, and my attempts always look like texas toast.)

Self, editing usually implies that something ends up on the cutting room floor, not that you'll suddenly bump your wordage up from 44,000+ to 50,000+ #iamwriting (Actually I am staring at my rough draft document. That's almost like writing.)
