Make America Gay Again
2/18/2017
Saturday. 11:07pm
“Making America Gay Again”
 “The Perfect Arrangement”
I saw the play tonight. Devistating (It was about the outing of gays in the government during the McCarthy era in the early 1950’s.)
I sat alone, mid first row.
I was “part” of the play.
Some uncanny similarities between the play’ story line and my life:
“When I’m 60, I don’t want to be hiding.” (The line was said twice in the play).
“I stopped talking to my mother 6 years ago."
Jimmy (my partner’s name was Jim. His cousin Ruth Ann called him Jimmy)
The cover up and the admission
George Orwell “ In some climates to tell the truth is revolutionary.”
I also went to a protest rally march today against Trump and his "Make America Great Again” agenda. An organizer told us “If he sends in the National Guard, form a human shield. 4000 people marched one mile to the Federal Building. Per there San Diego Tribune later “the march was peaceful. They shook cops hands.” Empowering.
6 year since my last drink. Â
As the plane leaves the ground tonight, around 9pm, so will, or did, I ride up out of the alcohol sea of despair 6 years ago.
I love the homeless 60 year old I gave my bag of movie popcorn to as I left the movie “Don’t Call Me Negro” last night. He said “I don’t drink, smoke or do air conditioning.” He sees air conditioning as one of the nation’s greatest threats.
Alcohol related events of 2/19/2017
—Female speaker: Last class of the Death Penalty Conference  “The only thing between you and all of the bars in San Diego is this class.”
—the people pouring out of the bars screaming as I walked down 5th Ave in the Hillcrest district last night.
—People drinking, bars open, on my early morning walk to and from 24 hour fitness gym  and the Hilton
San Diego is fueled by alcohol.
Some Senator wants the last call time pushed to from 2am to 4am in California
I learned that at the only substance abuse class given at the conference, you get zero continuing education of the bar credit.
I’d say out of the 1000 Death Penalty Conference goers, there were  maybe 4, including me, who didn’t have lawyer body. (A lawyer body is flabby and out of shape)
Nothing at the convention advocates for mind/body connection.
No 24 hour fitness booths.
No “Other Bar” booths (The other bar is lawyer alcoholics anonymous)
It’s all cerebral.
All 1000 participants should have marched in unison in the  anti Trump protest march to the Federal Building  Saturday.
They should have see “A Perfect Arrangement” and “Don’t Call Me Negro”
Before each class, a personal trainer should have been present to put them through a work out.
End of entry.
Note: I attended the Death Penalty Conference in sanDiego California in February 2017.

Making a birthday cake for a friend tonight (something I haven't done for a while), and I forgot how much I love baking & cake decorating. I'll post pics when I'm done, I'm very excited. 🥰
#archivist talk#the archivist regrets starting nursing school#the archivist#the archivist is a tad stressed but also this fun thing is happening so that's just dandy#i think i might have to give up on the kitchen being a place where one can sit and eat#i never use it for that personally#not because i don't want to#it just lacks the space for it and i don't have a real dining room#(my kitchen is long and narrow)#if i can figure out a good reasonable way to re-arrange the living room such that i can have both a living room AND a small dining corner#i may do that#however given the amount of bookshelves i've got going on & all my other lusts i imagine this won't happen#le sigh#i love my apartment so much#i think if i had a small dining area/dining room that would make the kitchen perfect#and if i had a den that i could put my desk/file cabinet/all adulting work in#that would free up my bedroom to be even more coquettish & focused#and also entirely comfortable#that would change a lot actually goddamn#but alas this building is not going to change#so maybe if one day i could afford a 2 bedroom that had a den .... bonus points if it has wood floors#and those arched doorways that i so love#i would be in heaven#i have to finish nursing school so i can pay for things with less stres#and also help my siblings more#and then maybe so i can get a nice home that would be super cool#but for now i must simply chill as they say

So, how rare ARE Ford's extra fingers, anyway?
I'm not gonna lie, at first I was skeptical of Ford's claims that the Weirdness Magnetism had an effect on him. Like, yeah, the whole having six fingers thing isn't exactly common, but it's a naturally-occurring event. Stan describes it as a birth defect, and there doesn't seem to be a noticeably great number of people with those in Gravity Falls. It wouldn't be all that farfetched for Ford to think he was just Built Different, for like, at least 7 reasons, but then you start actually thinking about it.
Polydactyly isn't exactly common. Approximately 1 in 1,000 babies are born with some form of polydactyly. While it's true that postaxial polydactyly (extra digit is past the pinkie) is the most common form, which is shown to be the kind Ford has in the x-ray at the beginning of AToTS, there are several other extreme circumstances.
Extra digits in polydactyly aren't usually found on all limbs. It can occur on hands and feet (and Alex has confirmed that Ford does, indeed, have six toes on both feet) but rarely does it occur on both feet, or both hands, much less both hands and both feet. And even when it does occur more than once on one person, the extra digits aren't usually fully-formed. Oftentimes they don't even have bones. When they do have bones, they're usually much smaller, or barely opposable (if they have joints at all). When they're big enough to be maneuverable, they usually interfere with the structure of the hands/feet in negative ways. All this means that an extra finger or toe which doesn't direly require a surgery to remove the extra digit within the first year or two of life is incredibly uncommon.
And let's remember: that's just for one extra digit. Ford has four.
For Ford to have fully functional polydactyly on both hands and both feet, to the point where it's basically impossible to tell which one is finger x without x-rays... the odds of that are astronomically unlikely. Never-before-recorded, one in a kazillion, borderline medically unfathomable sort of rare.
I think I do believe the Weirdness Magnetism could've affected Ford, actually.
#I don't think the same about Dipper and his constellation birthmark tho#I have freckles on my arm that make a perfect right triangle u ain't special#while such a large birthmark is certainly rare it isn't unheard of#the actual structure isn't technically any more or less likely than any other random arrangement of dots and lines#unless the fact that it's a constellation makes it special in some way which would make sense but we never saw any supernatural connection#i definitely think that part is just Ford being like “look at my grandnephew :) he is a Special Little Guy I love him he's great”#which is extremely adorable but not indicative of any weirdness in a scientific sense of the word#i can't believe i just typed “weirdness in a scientific sense”#gravity falls#journal 3#gravity falls journal#gravity falls spoilers#ford pines#stanford pines#dipper pines#gravity falls meta#i think#is this what meta is?#am i metaposting?

For everyone who wishes they spent more time doing Events and Activities with their friends - planning is a Skill!
Knowing where to learn about potential activities and events, being the person to reach out to invite others, being the one to ask the "when" and "where" questions, reminding people about it: they are all skills!
If you, reading this, are the person who often does this legwork: your actions are appreciated. These skills are less commonly practiced than you think and it can be a fantastic skill to have in your pocket. It can be frustrating trying to step back from planning, or tiring to be the only person in your circle practiced at it. I know. Take my hand. We'll get through this together, maybe Saturday afternoon, for coffee?
If you, reading this, are never the person to suggest or arrange plans: it's a skill, which means that it's something you can get better at. Anxiety can be a bitch, but your friends aren't gonna be as mean as your brain already is.
Give it a shot. Look up a cafe you haven't tried, or search your local paper for events. You can't go wrong with "I was thinking of going, would you want to come with?". Ask when. Ask where. I believe in you.
#I'm watching a group chat full of my coworkers who never plan try to arrange something without my help#they're all responding passively nobody's offering a day or time or place to meet#just a lot of 'sure sounds fun any day is fine alright'#babes somebody offer something for people to respond to it doesnt have to be perfect it just has to be an offer#i will not save them they have to learn somehoe#my posts

merlin sketches thursdayyyy
#skeletxt#my art#the hardest part was the flower post so ill go over that the most here in tags#disclaimer flowers can mean a lot based on how theyre arranged and the year and what ref youre using what color they are blah blah blah#i just found the most common meanings for each.#amaryllis - closest flower to what merlin has in game. pride.#iris - hope is the main one here. for dantes.#carnations - i was actually going to choose spiderlily for salieri but then remembered he holds red carnations in one of his travel CEs.#so i picked that. it symbolizes love.#queen anne's lace - safety and sanctuary. ref to izou's bond 10 line where hes happy to have a home.#gladiolus - lots of good stuff here. honor. conviction. generosity. being armed. victory. and of course theyre roman. perfect fit for conni#milkweed - their latin name is based on asclepius. additionally they have symbolism of remembrance. ties to his life mission and wish.

What's Most Interesting is what You Don't Write About
2/27/2017
I’ve been living on the house payment. Ouch.
PG&E $300 and Bar dues  $400 due .
I’ll pay the bar dues instead of the health insurance.
Ahhhhhhh!
I took last week off.
It will be awhile until a county check arrives.
There, I said it.
Like Angeles Arrien said (I think) “What’s most interesting is what people don’t write about."
I like to back drawer and to not write about my financial risk
Still, what a powerful 11 days it’s been  February 17-27. (I attended the Death Penalty conference in San Diego where I saw  the movie “I’m not Your Negro”, the play “Perfect Arrangement, and marched in an anti Trump rally parade!)
Trading experience for security.
Risking = living.
End of this part of the entry
Note: Â Angeles Arrien was a writer, philosopher and an anthropologist. She died in 2014.

i really appreciate discourse on penelope featheringtons character but it also reminds me that some people dont understand that she's not supposed to be this amazing gracious person. shes flawed and loyal and stubborn and she's also, guess what - 18 years old! i cant think of one good decision i made when i was that young and she has so much pressure to be what shes not.
penelope is not a great person, and THATS THE POINT. she's flawed and makes many mistakes and in the end, were some of the things she did selfish? sure. does it make her the devil reincarnated? no.
people is a teenager that has two friends and is ignored by her family. she is 18 and on the marriage market. she doesn't have much say on how her future will turn out but she DOES have a platform.
penelope is doing what she can and protecting her loved ones the only way she knows how. is that a good way to deal with her issues? not at all. but she's not perfect and LW is the only way people hear her (eloise only listens to her occasionally). you can argue all you want about her not deserving colin but its not like she's publishing things that aren't true or would not have come to light later on.
the point i'm trying to make is that female characters shouldn't have to be angels for the audience to accept them. i dont see one word about anthony when he attempted to literally KILL his best friend in a duel, or when he tried to place his sister in an arranged marriage when she wanted to marry for love. anthony is flawed too but the fandom sees past that because he was protecting his sister. but then what was penelope doing? how is that easier to excuse and look past? was she not protecting eloise and colin from worse fates in the wrong way? you cannot pick and choose what characters you give leeway to. especially when it REEKS of misogyny.
women shouldn't have to be perfect for men to love them. same thing goes for anyone of any gender. i'm tired of female characters not receiving the same treatment as male characters who do the same things.
no one ever claimed that penelope was supposed to be a good person, in fact nicola coughlan has stated multiple times that penelope is not, and that is precisely the point.
i could write a whole essay on this but i will end it here. stop expecting female characters to be perfect in order to deserve any good things.
#penelope featherington#penelope featherington discourse#polin#netflix bridgerton#bridgerton#bridgerton s3#bridgerton season 3#penelope bridgerton#youre allowed to not like her just please be aware of why#im a penelope defender till i die#colin was a dick to say he would never court her not because he doesnt feel the same but because he told eligible gentlemen#like RIGHT after he told her how important she was to him#i love colin but hes not perfect either and thats why i like him#but people dont hate on colin like they do penelope#and it just reeks to me#anthony bridgerton was redeemed but lets not forget#he tried to place daphne in an arranged marriage#and he tried to kill simon#like literally aimed a gun at him

William A. Wellman’s as Chuck Harm is such an incredibly funny and very inside baseball joke for people way too into horror podcasts. Of course they’d be the guy bearing witness to the horrors and narrating them to a watching audience. Who else could you possibly cast in that role.
