#successful deliveries

[presidentkamala]

was talking abt this with @kowai-kabuki-tanuki the other day but like WHERE are the action items??? Trying to volunteer - like actually volunteer constructively (be it reading to kids or hopping on calls with government officials or showing up to a school board meeting as part of a group or even picking up some litter at the park) is like trying to find a needle in the haystack of endless fundraising and "awareness" campaigns.

I know I'm not the first to notice this but like wow every website i go to the "get involved" tab or page is just different ways to donate or to sign up for email lists that purportedly will tell me about events "in my area" - and those events are almost always fundraising events or like 2 hr rallies or what have you.

Like you don't understand I'm trying to find people who will make school lunches with me to give to kids who have lunch debt. I'm trying to find the thing where we all get to chat together about the best strategies we can deploy to ensure the county doesn't make evictions easier etc.

I'm tired of the campaigning!!!!! Like let's DO something I don't want to uselessly mill around in front of the supreme court feeling angry!! And when i go to the local abortion org and sign up for escort training i uhhh ACTUALLY WANT THEM TO SCHEDULE IT!!!!!!!

Look fundraising is important and awareness is important and they are both necessary arms of any real nonprofit org and I'm not getting down on them - but I also NEED to be able to join an action-based volunteer group that won't require me to give up my job for a year and is also not like. affiliated with a church or smthn.

Please do not drink the cave water.

Pelipper mail: Cave water

[The pelipper looks genuinely concerned someone sent this and pours a water gun into a cup before leaving.]

@rotomblr-postal

OH SO TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE SENT ME CAVE WATER? OKAY. I'm making a cocktail of bacteria this afternoon alright. fuck it.

still trying to figure out how (netflix) corinthian has so much money and the logical answer I keep landing on is that he’s just an extremely successful camboy

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 225/?

Billy Joel - Big Shot (1978)

"Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine,

With your fine Park Avenue clothes;

You had the Dom Pérignon in your hand

And the spoon up your nose.

Ooh, and when you wake up in the morning

With your head on fire

And your eyes too bloody to see,

Go on and cry in your coffee

But don't come bitchin' to me."

stewy line delivery of "everyone fucking hates you" ... the catharsis of telling your best friend's abusive dad that everyone fuuucking hates him in a totally professional Business context of course. and it's true. i need it stapled to my brain folds or at the VERY least as a gif i can stare at lovingly once per hour

i feel like people on tv say each other’s names too much. as if i’m going to forget what they are. the only time i say someone’s name is when i answer a phone call from them

Martha Wells and John Scalzi at Joseph-Beth Booksellers!!

Y’all GUESS WHO I GOT TO SEE!!! In real life!! With my own two eyeballs!!!

It was an absolutely delightful chat (I took two pages of notes! scribbled in All My Margins!), very cozy, AND neither of them had signing limits! I love hearing authors talk about their Authorial Woes and Process Quirks, because it’s always hugely validating and just neat to hear.
