In the spirit of July 4th, I watched Casablanca. My favorite movie, although I haven’t seen it in a decade, at least. And what a decade it’s been. This time it all hits different—yet feels contemporarily familiar. Tears from my grieving gut when the crowd sings “La Marseillaise.”

In my experience dealing with management over our union contract and subsequent enforcement, lots of those upstream are scaredy cats who whither under the slightest “pain points.” Ya know, like living wages and transparency. Yes, even non-profits whose mission includes “people over profits.”

we asked for better 401k matching, better parental leave, and that our publisher not be a complete idiot. That's it! That's what scared this little boy into pooping in the sandbox.

Today at the BK drive through, I apologized for ordering randomly, saying I did it “backwards.” At the window, the employee said something like “ordering backwards is appropriate for pride month.” I asked him to explain, given its ambiguity. He said, “you know, they take it in the back.”

My husband and I sat at the bar at a restaurant today and the lady who was bartending asked, "You fellas decide to leave the wifies at home today?" Yup, just the husbands today, ma'am.

Ok, that did not go how I thought it would. What a story! That it’s based off a memorable (and problematic, as they say) movie scene my demo missed doesn’t matter, because there are cringey movie moments from every era that kinda beg for resolution. This has that.

I do not post about actual feelings on the world so I have my breakdowns fictionally. Which is to say: I wrote a short story! open.substack.com/pub/danielle...

For four days, almost all my thoughts are with my next door neighbor, who’s dying. Hospice parks on the street during the day. Family parks in the driveway. Tonight the driveway is full and blocked by other cars. The house is dark. I ache for my neighbors.

Oh, well, as long as he’s still having fun, it’s fine. The rules are that you get to hold onto power, never share it, until you don’t feel like it anymore. It’s worked out great.

Jim Risch, R-ID is running for re-election & will be 83 on Election Day & would be 89 years old at the end of that term. But he said he’s still enjoying the job, and his powerful position as chairman has put him at the center of the debate over Venezuela, Greenland and other global flash points

I never really thought about what a knife fight might actually mean IRL. But this analysis tells me that it won’t end well, no matter how many times I watch West Side Story. After a lot of prayer and asking my wife, I realize that my weapon of practical choice has to be pepper spray.

Like regarding knives as a tool of violence, just don't bother unless you want to devote a hell of a lot of time to training. No one wins a knife fight. If you want an actual violent tool the order is gun > pepper spray > taser (not stun gun)
