I'm having one of those periods (menstrual, not stretch of time) where you're like "excuse me, body, is this even real?" To make this even more delightful the only thing that even begins to kill my cramps is naproxin which gives me this overwhelming soporific side effect where I honest to god fell asleep sitting up charting today. Fell asleep sitting up in a rolly chair in the middle of a task. I felt it coming on, too, and I was like "get up get up get up" then I woke up suddenly snorting. So elegant. Guess what? I also had no tampons and had to ask around for one. Life, so good.
Tomorrow I will finish one of the fics I've got going on. I won't allow myself to surf political blogs for lols, I swear!
Which brings me to: all the Romney lols. Are you fucking kidding me? If you don't read metafilter, start. There's an epic thread about Romney's "gaffe"--let's get real, this was not a gaffe. This is the last gasp of rich white people trying to reconstruct the government so that anyone not like them can even have a modicum of agency.
REGISTER TO VOTE. If you are registered to vote, make sure you really are. Luckily I live in a state that tried to fuck over the disenfranchised with "voter reform" but I know I'm still registered because I got an absentee ballot in the mail. You might not be so fortunate. Sort your shit out.

Why isn't there as many NN books as PO books?
I want all the dragon books. I have never given a shit about dragons before.

Also, a friend I met at a tech girls meetup is part of team that created a completely rad online voting tool thingie: TurboVote (https://turbovote.org/register). I am in love -- I'm already registered (natch), so I don't know how that functions, but I did sign up for their reminders and shit, and it is ON POINT. And NationBuilder lets you claim your voter record (https://elections.nationbuilder.com/), which is fucking cool and also run by lady nerds.
All of this is keeping me distracted from the one Republican I work with -- who is a Puerto Rican dude with daughters. Three of us actually asked him the other day how he supports a party that DOESN'T LIKE HIM OR HIS CHILDREN. Ugh.

I hope that the left growing a spine isn't a too little too late situation (obviously).
Mittens is a lizard person.

We'll see. You're right about Mittens.

How dare the proles attempt to get college educations? Affirmative Action is fucking over god-loving white people!
