Okay, I did a "watch party" between me and hubby. [View all]

[slightlv]

We had fun, while grandson live streamed his own stuff. Bought a bottle of mead, did supper, and baked a cake to help with the excessive wine. I even found bingo cards to print out from the League of Women Voters (thank you, League!) Because this was a recuperation day from bad fibro the day before, where I completely ran out of "spoons"... those of you with fibro or autoimmune diseases know what I mean... I had to pull it together quickly. But I did... and hubby and I had a blast!

Neither of us bingoed, but we did get pretty well drunk. So, since mead is legal in KS and pot isn't, what can I say? We still managed to follow the debate and got our own yelling in at the TV. We both agreed Kamala wiped the floor with Trump, with both of us started statements many times with "there he goes again!" (LOL)

The cap off came with Taylor Swift's endorsement. I may, of course, not be of her listening generation, but I recognize her importance to the younger gen. And they're the ones who will inherit this government and earth after we boomers pass on completely. I, tho, like her, am a Crazy Cat Lady, and proud of it! So, I feel like I do have a dog (pardon the pun) in that fight. And, since my grandson is living with me, but not my daughter, I will say at this point I feel almost like a childless cat lady.

The cats are taking over the world. We knew, from the very start of the Internet, that it was completely cat territory! (LOL) We could do worse than live with our great overlords. My nine have just reiterated that to me! On Bootsy, On Bandit! On Tigger and Cami! I love you all, and debase myself to your needs, always.

We will win this election, I have no doubt. And then, the REAL work begins... not only to rip old Donny apart completely and put him in the memory home where he belongs, but to let the younger generation take the reins and realize the Utopia so many of us in the 60's fought long and hard to bring about.

Gods... I started my married life not even being able to have a credit card in my own name!!!! I worried all through my teenage years, will my period come... what do I do if it doesn't? I was turned away from a bar, because although I was in the military, I wasn't able to buy a drink. I had to take my husband's last name when we married, much to my sorrow in trying to get a REAL ID today. Too many name changes and a timeline to have to track with documents. I love too many young girls and women today in my life... relatiaves and not... to make them go back to what we had to endure in our young lives.

We will not go back again! We WILL have equal rights... finally! We WILL be seen as, and documented as fully functioning, adult, human beings cabable of our own thoughts, morals, and ethics. And if I'm very lucky, I'll see the ERA finalized before I'm 6' under!

Please, make it happen.
