today i honor eileen, who died an hour ago. she was a simple woman with simple tastes: good tomato sauce, not very good beer (the lady drank rolling rocks, but hey), homemade bread. she had ten children, nine of whom she gave birth to, and still liked babies enough to open an unofficial daycare at her home in the seventies. she sewed decently, baked wonderfully (a lot of her baked goods were slightly overdone thanks to a very old oven, but her piecrust is still the best recipe i've ever used. her soda bread was a bit sweeter than average, and now i don't like any other soda bread but her sugary, curranty loaf with a thick swipe of butter. she sang with a rich, warbly vibrato that i sometimes hear in my own voice when i'm excited enough. she played piano, not well, but all her life, more or less until she couldn't anymore. fur elise was her favorite piece to break out and show off. as long as i can remember, there was a puzzle on the vinyl tablecloth in the sunroom at her house. there probably is right now, 300-piece to accommodate for her increasing dementia, which would no longer allow her to do more complex ones. she had so many children and grandchildren that she rotated their pictures out on the top of the piano, always by birthday month. this month there would be my eldest aunt, my grandfather, and my brother. she was one of the scattered living diaspora of a tiny town in abruzzo - pacentro, population one thousand, which she visited once in the early oughts. my father used the photos she took there to paint a landscape of her family's hometown, which hung in her living room with the dark green couches and the long floral curtains as long as i can remember. when she still could, she and my grandfather would make the trip to our house in the height of summer, where pappy would pick grapes from our arbor or take home elderberries or the largest and woodiest of our green beans (he likes them that way - tough and starchy). she would nap on the couch (a ritual she called Resting Her Eyes) and then read to us: The Sleeping Giant, Tomie DePaola, anything she'd bought for us at some previous time. she read widely. towards the end, when what she could do was limited, she read pretty much all day long. it didn't matter what. i'm forgetting a million things about her even now. i've missed her for years, as she disappeared by pieces. but i loved her, and by god, i know she loved well.

Zionists/Symathizers who say "Palestinians should be taken by Egypt/Lebanon/Jordan and just live there forever" have no idea what a refugee camp is like.

"You really care about me."
"Yeah. I really, really care about you."
"I- I really care about you too."
"No, but... I like, really, really care about you."

At this point and up until the elections are over and the results are announced
I think that we should just call a spade a spade.
Anyone and everyone who is neigh-saying Kamala?
They're a Trump supporter.
Anyone and everyone who is a centrist, a "let's see both sides of things right now" type of person?
Trump supporter.
Anyone calling for people to "vote third party" right now?
Trump supporters.
Anyone calling for people to "just not vote" ?
Those are Trump supporters.
Because there are two really hard to swallow facts you need to hear:
#1.) This is, without a doubt, going to be the most important and instrumental election in American history.
#2.) Like it or not, the American Political System is a two party race. It wasn't supposed to be, sure.
But for right now it is. There's no ifs and or buts about it. The system is set up so that a third party candidate cannot win.
Every single vote that isn't counted for Kamala is a vote for Trump.
I don't care how leftist, or how progressive you think you are, if you're not willing to vote for Kamala then you're a Trump supporter.
If you are not loudly rallying behind and supporting Kamala, who is very likely our one and only chance of hope and progress, then you should either be quiet about it or else you are a Trump supporter.
If you're not willing to be an active participant in our society with how it works right now, then sit down and shut up and don't complain about anything.
If you think that they’re both equally bad then you must be privileged enough to feel safe in Trump’s America.
It’s a privilege for you to even consider voting third party or to consider throwing your vote away and not using it. It’s entitlement.
You feel safe saying that they’re the same.
But for us poor people, us queer and trans people, us disabled people, and for people of colour, for Palestinians and Ukrainians, and so so many more people, Trump’s America would not be safe.
Kamala could be our only chance at preserving our democracy and if you're not supporting her just for the sake of your own selfish performative white knighting about your "morals" trying to make yourself look good?
Then the only person you're benefiting is Trump.
So you're a Trump supporter.
If being called that doesn't feel good to you then maybe analyse why that is.
If being called a Trump supporter makes you upset, stop doing things that support him.

i hate the fact the term karen went from describing a bitchy entitled customer to basically the modern day equivalent of calling a woman a harpy (misogynistic as fuck) and that people use the term on people out in public who are at the end of their rope emotionally from stress or a shitty day. I get it just because your having a rough time doesn't mean you get to be a dick but sometimes I think people are seriously lacking in empathy and I get it a lot shit the customer might be dealing with isn't your responsibility but like if a customer is struggling with something simple maybe don't be a dick? Just a thought.

Sweet idea: Because of her closer connection with animals, Sofia stopped eating meat. She'd push it to the other side of her plate, only eating the veggies and non-meat parts of her meal. Some people thought she was just being fussy. But Baileywick made sure her needs were met. He had her meat be replaced with another form of protein, like different beans and vegetables, he also told her it was no issue. He just wanted her to be taken care of, not leaving half of her meal uneaten and staying half full.
