Lo que dicen ellos

I should mention that I had an excellent time at Arisia

Don't have time to write. Maybe I'll write on the plane tomorrow evening (arriving bwi 7ish) especially since I can't find my earphones.

I'm also very very very happy with some of the pictures of some of the outfits. Maybe I'll even figure out how to deal with photos here a little better.

It was small and there were only a few programming rooms and I missed panels much like I always do and I missed almost all the dancing and I did handstands in a number of dresses.

My host just returned so see y'all later.

Honestly, I'm thinking about how except that I gave up the hotel room, it's not too late to bail, because kicking my interfusion membership forward a year isn't processed until after the event so it probably could actually go.

And then I wouldn't have been up all night accidentally although there were other things that contributed to that not all of them my being a dumbass

And there's really no contest as to which would be the more fun and fulfilling event. Interfusion is going to have available acro shibari every night. And maybe rope dancing. And definitely all sorts of other dancing and Acro and several different people I know who are going to be moving away shortly thereafter.

I'm reminding myself that I'm staying with someone up at ariza who I haven't seen in at least a decade and moved all the way away for a long while and I've set up seeing different friends where it's been at least a year if not well over a year.

But man it really turned out to be a bad decision to land at 11:00 last night home from Missouri expecting originally to be on a train about 10 minutes from now


I'm deliberately missing the 125 flight and just making sure to be there within 2 hours after it leaves.

I'm not expecting much out of the con.



There was someone who needed to be around people and it was important and that person joined me in covert at my place about half past 12:00 which was already getting stupid late and I was so tired and then somehow
I got a second wind after saying look it's three I need to go to bed and they left around 3:20 and then I was like okay I still need to get more stuff off the phone which I couldn't do while covert was sitting next to my computer for various reasons and decided over right I was going to up the die on the hair and there's too much stuff in the suitcase so that I didn't just bring the overtone to deal with that tonight and then I don't know what happened I kept being like a God it's so late oh my God and then the next thing I knew it would be even worse.



There's been pretty much daily protests in one way or another here in DC today is another ice out of DC as opposed to ice out for good or the union rally yesterday.


Tuesday there's a national walkout and lobbying. By flying away I can't help with any of those actions

this summary shared in a local southwest group suggests the recommendation was to just take the 2 hours at 1 o'clock (unless you prefer to be out longer) and then get back to business: "they are asking folks to be at Pershing Park because it is near the Wilson Bldg, and if Home Rule is directly threatened we may all need to get/gather there. This event is a way to start normalizing leaving jobs and other 'normal' activities to protest what is not a normal situation so that we can build the muscle to do more. The event is 1-3 pm and while they would like people to be there at 1, you can get there later (ideally by 1:30-45) if need be. And if you can only be there for an hour that is ok too.

This is not a dramatic walkout scenario. You are encouraged to take sick leave if that is available to you. Also DC residents may have access to paid sick/safety leave from DC. If leaving your job would put your job at risk you are encouraged *not* to participate. And this event is for all, not just people currently employed."

There's such a mess. Such a mess. Active lying from the administration obviouslying from the administration were obviously trying to lie with implication (. The new bed is announcing that Ross had internal bleeding, announced a full week later anonymously sources say they were told and oh right there's no method of injury consistent with the implications there although oh by the way bruising would technically count maybe because sure as hell the man stayed standing and walking normally and packed out a house the next day.

Ice shot someone else in Minneapolis yesterday. Seems not fatally.

The ones they shot in Portland they said that they were weaponizing the car. Are we going to believe that assertion in general anymore?

It's getting really scary out there.
