These are some of the prettiest girls I have ever seen in my life. #BridgertonNetflix
It’s interesting. I think we are supposed to lust for them and not Anthony. They are the sex symbols this season. They’re also making me feel like crap. I hired three trainers in the time I watched these episodes because I feel like a greasy potato. So THAT part is working
Or, I simply don’t find Anthony appealing. That’s possible.
Anyway, each season looks like it’s going to be one of the romance genre tropes. The first was soul mates. This is enemies to lovers, one of my least favorite. It’s a miracle I’m watching it all.

I cannot say enough about this. I asked. I had notes. I did not get any guidance on this from my dealer. Strong agree here.
The dealer promised to give me adapter specifications when I ordered. Three phone calls & 2 emails to get what ended up being the wrong specs. The charger I paid an electrician to install? Is the wrong one. They threw the charging kit in the trunk, said self-explanatory on app
Get it home and it has to be ASSEMBLED. Three emails and threats of returning it. They come assemble it. I have to use a regular outlet because it will be months before wall adaptor arrives. This takes approx. 1.5 days for full charge. I’m navigating charging stations solo.

Adventures in hybrid car transition. I dedicated the day to figuring out how to charge the damn thing on the road. A few lessons:
1. Men at the dealership have no idea what they are talking about

2. It’s like how apple has proprietary doohickies & you, a grown adult, have accepted saying “dongle” to accommodate this fact
3. Anyway, first try at a Target was wild. You have to fight for a space and frankly a blonde Latina beat my ass. She took two spots in her Tesla, held one for her man, and I…lost that battle. Got McDonalds fries to lick my wounds. Lesson learned. This is combat.

White people pretending to have never encountered any uncomfortable conflict EVER is one of my *least* favorite things. It is so annoying.
I'm sure its my own psychology. I don't like the performance of vulnerability when the idea of being vulnerable is denied to me. Also, it's stupid.
Anyway, it is the thing I have been called into HR thee most for. Somebody pretending to be shocked and me...insisting that they are pretending. lol

I am very into scholarship on the typography of the radical right. No lie. A few theories out there. Rejecting grammar rules is a rejection of norms generally. That it’s a digital holdover from low cost typeset pamphlets that circulated in fringe affinity groups.
That it’s a non-credential credential, ie a discursive signal of material that won’t challenge reader’s worldview. Pol comm people have found that far from being a mistake, pols use it deliberately to attract disaffected extremists and fringe
I think my favorite theory is that it’s one of many examples of digital remix cultures. If you look at the text and not the context, it’s a zine font.

I just said yesterday that a pragmatic presidential appeal could be the trump antidote. Just fix some basic shit.
(Of course, the problem is usually a state commerce one and not something a fed office can usually fix. But if a president would promise it and then bribe a state problem into oblivion? I would vote twice for that.)
Just carpetbomb a state budget with pork until spam calls stop. Just do it.

A guy at “my” coffee shop shows up every day in a Duke shirt that doesn’t cover a belly he scratches as he paces loudly in front taking calls on a Bluetooth. I don’t know…who to report that to??
Is that the police? Hozier? Hell’s Angels?
Gonna try Hozier and work my way down…
