egg: Scrambled or omelet.
bacon: Crispy.
steak: Safe, legal, and rare.
milk: Whole.
warm drink: Hot chocolate with Fireball.
Fireball is one of those things that my mother and I never saw eye to eye on. Something about how it had been briefly "banned in the European Union" for "containing too much of" a "chemical" that was "technically antifreeze", or something. Who could keep track.
But I have to live my own life, and hey, if I ever need to de-ice a plane in a pinch, I'm covered.
"Hot chocolate with Fireball" is apparently a revelation to some.

It also goes well with Dr. Pepper, if you want a cold drink.
I've started ordering Moscato, which was a favorite of my mother's, with a shot of Fireball, which is a favorite of mine, and pouring the latter in the former. I call it Mother & Child Reunion.

I don't know if it tastes good or if I just miss her, so, you know. Be advised.

Anytime I talk about Trump wanting to take/keep the oil from a country we send troops to, I get people going, "Wait, what?"

Here's an example.
It's something he has said over and over again, about Iraq and Syria, and it's not "secret" but it barely gets any traction each time because our media doesn't know how to talk about it. They'll report that he says it if it seems novel enough and then move on, now it's normal.
It's very revealing that he himself thinks "I took the oil" sounds like a masterstroke, a victory. "They say I left troops there. You know what I did? I took the oil." The actual disposition of the oil is TBD but he thinks that's an answer to the criticism being referenced.

LRT: Not gonna hijack a tweet about TERFs by bringing in another issue, but the phenomenon reminds me how Courtney Milan's attackers tried to portray the situation in Romancelandia where she's a nobody everybody's afraid of, rather than a well-respected person people agree with.
And it's something that is far from limited to those two situations (and has broader impacts in the RWA implosion than just Courtney Milan... "nobody wants a plethora of diverse stories to be told, they're all just afraid to say so!" is basically the refrain.)
It's the "Silent Majority" that conservatives in the US have tried to claim for generations. Easier to write off angry phonecalls from constituents and damning polls when you assume that many of them secretly agree with you and you're working to free them from shackles of fear.

I never really hyped it after the Kickstarter because of the timing of its release and my mother's death, but I did publish a collection of short stories last year. I'll be talking more about it in 2020.

amazon.com/dp/B07TJXGPZ7/
It's broadly speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, some horror), with each story focusing on human connections and usually one relationship in particular (sometimes romantic, sometimes not). Lot of lesbian content, some ~*adult themes*~ but not erotica.
It's actually kind of painful for me to promote it because some of the stories deal with mother/daughter stuff and one in particular was written after a time (thankfully, years ago) that my father told us we should figure out what we needed to say because time was short.

One like = one opinion on RICH PEOPLE
1/ A lot of rich people are assholes because… they can get away with it. When you have enough money, you don’t "have to" put up with social norms if you don’t want to
2/ Rich people that got it through work are good. They are inspirational.

One of those things they just can't explain away
In 1995, someone called the FBI in New York offering information about an alleged plot to kidnap Kennedy in New York City, according to an FBI report dated July 13, 1995.
The caller told the FBI that the alleged kidnappers “had determined that Kennedy rode a bicycle in Manhattan and did not have any bodyguards,”

😳One of the first things Trump says sitting with #Ukraine’s President Zelensky: “He’s very very strongly looking at all sorts of corruption.”

Then Trump says Crimea was lost under Obama. “But it was a long time ago. It’s just one of those things”😱

#WhistleblowerComplaint
#Ukraine’s Zelensky finesses question about pressure from Trump on call. He says, you saw it, and I don’t want to get involved. But TRUMP adds

NOW TRUMP IS RANTING CONSPIRACY THEORIES CONFIRMING EVERY ABUSE IN THE TRANSCRIPT/SUMMARY NOTES OF THE CALL. Biden, Clinton’s emails!
SCOOP >> Acting DNI Maguire threatened to resign if he can’t speak freely to Congress. So he seems to be fighting back against the extraordinary and lawless pressure from Trump White House. Wow! #WhistleblowerComplaint #UkraineExtortion #Ukraine

One of the things we'll need in the new climate reality is more public drinking fountains. The temperance movement put in a bunch of huge ones, for different reasons, back in the day. The Romans, ditto. We can make drinking water available everywhere, also reducing plastic.
There is at least one good bottle filling stations/fountain on Market street, for example. They should be everywhere and as uniformly signed/ signaled as possible.
Water fountains helped end cholera epidemics and also, a la the Temperance Movement, helped provide a non-alcohol source of fluid, which was really a thing! 99percentinvisible.org/episode/founta…

Safe, legal, and rare.
Safe and legal.
Legal.
Only at risk of mother’s life.
Only at risk of mother.
Only at risk of mother’s well-being.
Only at risk of mother’s convenience.
First twelve weeks.
Until they have a heartbeat.
Until they feel pain.
Until they’re viable.
Until they’re born.
If mother desires care after they're born.

Surprised his marriage didn’t work out since he was sending me DMs a month after his wife gave birth. (I tweeted a joke about pulling a muscle changing a tampon and he replied asking if I smelled bacon? Cool joke)
I deleted my tweets a while ago in this exchange but just found this one
His dad is president why hasn’t he deleted these tweets? #bacon
