She has found two favourite hiding places and only comes out to eat and poop. She is NOT happy about being rehomed. Margot is actually starting to be concerned for her. Very odd.
Very much enjoying the Danish Swedish German coproduction The Bridge. The slobby but effective Dane and the ice cold and effective Swede make an interesting pair.
SUPER very much enjoyed an evening of frivolous drinking with SCARY CLOWN! Yes he has made a reappearance in my life and he gave me the most excellent compliment, “I had forgotten how much fun you are.” Happy sigh!
Posted by me on social media this morning, re getting rid of friends because of their reaction to Ferguson.
I have friends across the political and social spectrum. I try to love them for the life they are and not hate them for what they believe. I am not going to use political events to tell me when to cull my friendslist. I am not going to edit my reality tunnel to make it more comfortable. I am going to accept that people are irrational and irascible and afraid, and I’m going to work on my OWN racism and shine a light on where that work takes me. I can’t hate a racist into being more loving, or ignore her into being more rational. I recognize that my response is from a place of privilege because I’m white, but I believe that it’s a moral response that balances the sad truth that as a white person I know racists, and that as a white person I need to eradicate my racist thoughts, words, attitudes and beliefs. If Ferguson was your wakeup call, exactly how long have you been paying attention?
