Hastening to Add

 Just in case I came across all sappy and 'love thine enemy' yesterday, that was not what I was going for at all. Someone on Facebook posted a quote about militant decency - being deeply, passionately angry about the injustice in the world and channeling that anger rather than trying to be less angry. 

I am angry at the people who voted out of hate. I am angry at the Democratic leadership that could have done more to protect abortion rights and trans rights to treatment and demonstrated the same complacency that a lot of privileged people do. I am angry at the fact that so many of my dear friends are frightened and despairing. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to do. I don't want to spout platitudes. I am not any kind of better person than someone who just wants to burn things down right now. This is all just weird - it's like when someone dies and you have to keep walking around in the world and not everybody else knows or cares, and you still have to go to the bank and go to work and brush your dog's teeth. 

Pictures of Lucy and her sister who lives next door, that make it look like they interact nicely instead of constantly growling and fighting and humping. When Lucy had her surgery we had to block the door in the fence where they go back and forth. When we could finally open it again Eve said "you had to be apart for six weeks and you're STILL BEEFING?"
