Brief note re Kamala Harris

I got an education in miniature while watching berniebros attack Black women on twitter during the run up to the 2016 election. I got another miniature education when not-stupid white American migrants to Canada told me to my face that there’s no way Bernie supporters could be so ignorant, like TOTALLY shut me down while in the next minute being super chill about Indigenous rights so….

(but she was the kind of person who BREAKS UP OVER TEXT MESSAGE SO FUCK ‘ER and I could go on but t’isn’t my story)

Anyway my position on Kamala Harris is clear to me, the evergreen ‘siddown and shaddap’, at least on twitter. If I’m going to have a white lady opinion, it will be here.

Kamala Harris has been chosen as Joe Biden’s running mate in the 2020 US presidential election.

 

 

 

 

Jeff is home

Victoria trip a success by all accounts.

Fed Paul lunch (beef and cabbage stirfry, which was delicioso thanks) and went for a really most pleasant walk in the 12th Ave School yard. The weather yesterday was so delightful, everything fresh under mixed skies.

For some reason I felt like I should call Peggy, and we ended up talking in part about how the more sensitive among us are grieving for the whole world right now.

I’m watching Hannibal without Jeff. It’s kind of exploitative but that’s the whole point I think.

I donated to Red Cross Lebanon for the Beirut explosion.

This is Jim being silly.
