Only 25 minutes late out the door. With traffic patterns, she'll only be 15 minutes late and probably still the first one there.

"Honey, you need to get up."
2 minutes pass.

"Seriously, you need to get up now."

"NO I DON'T!" The measured but forceful voice was closer to something out of the Exorcist than the woman next to me.

Now we wait.

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Considering this has been going on for decades? No time soon. They do benefit from the GOP, though. The GOP sacrifices assistance for the people and avoids trimming the defense budget (to appease contractors, mainly) while the left would rather cut back defense spending to save social programs.

I did not have Runaways legend Cherie Currie being a maga terf cunt on my bingo card.

It was late at night and I was leaving Target/Walmart. I was accosted by two rednecks shouting trans slurs. I tried to run but since both my knees are injured (they are) I wasn't fast. One pushed me down and the other repeatedly kicked me in the knees. (Insert beginnings of SA). When I didn't comply, I was punched, rolled over and cut behind the ankle. (Where I have an Achilles issue) I woke up in severe pain just after 4.

@Kurtroedeger But it is never Welsh rarebit on baby back ribs day.
