Voting in CA

The amazing and patient ladyjax volunteers to assist at every election, and she has a post about Voting Tools For Californians.

If you're a Californian, or you have friends in California who might be ??? about voting, pass the intel on!

(Yes, I have a super-small circle of people, but you guys have more connections, so I'm sending it out to you.)

and a note of amusement

B1 and B2 were watching Ocean's 8 on Friday (Saturday?) night. B2 loves the Ocean's 11 series, and we're all feminists around here, so we loved the idea of Ocean's 8.

Anyway, apparently B1 spent most of the movie looking up this person and that person. And then started looking into Richard Armitage's filmography.

Today, she's watching North and South...

I laughed and laughed and laughed, because I've been here before back when the BBC Robin Hood was briefly a thing, and many people on my flist had a thing for Richard Armitage. Also, The Hobbit. (I never saw Pt 2 or Pt 3...was there a Pt 3?)

And this has just reminded me: my favourite Robin Hood story - that I can remember - is the novel Lady of the Forest by Jennifer Roberson, back in the early 90s, and I'm trying to recall the sequence of events.

today

I have emptied my mooncup 4x since 6am this morning. I have taken not one period painkiller, but two. Twice. My uterus is absolutely trying to rip its way out of my abdomen. And the cramps are manageable but just barely.

I give up. No more work is getting done today. I'm going to curl up in a little ball and wibble.

Also I am of the opinion that "undecided" is merely code for "we have a candidate to vote for, but we don't want to feel guilty about it" like voting is supposed to make you feel like shiny happy people, instead of it being a responsibility that normalises the concept of democracy.

Americans. Some of you need a right good whack in the arse with a clue-by-four studded with rusty nails.
