Watching the Charlie Kirk video felt good.

It IS crazy but please take John Brown's final words to heart:

"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done."

We are repeating history and that man was an enemy of any rational or empathetic souls left in this country. I took the warnings of others seriously before watching the footage, as it is indeed awful. But that man would have been happy to watch me die. Knowing that, I can't pretend it doesn't feel good to see a threat neutralized.

Oh nooooo

It feels anecdotal, but I felt like I had a voodoo doll for my last manager. He was a nice enough guy but just hyper and careless. So he would do stuff all the time without thinking about what came next. I would see him on my commute sometimes following close behind other cars, speeding to red lights and such. Said to my coworker, 'He is going to not be here one day because he got in a car accident.' A few weeks later and he is out because he totalled his car into the back of another car. Another time the company was cheaping out on hiring someone to replace lightbulbs and he was like, I'll just change them myself! I said, "you need insurance to do stuff like that in an office, thousands of people fall off ladders every year" A few weeks later he was out for days, found out he fell off a ladder at his house. I didn't cause these things to happen, but I stopped vocalizing what I was predicting. As the wise Michael Scott once said, "I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious."

My handsome boy, Wart

Awwww, she looks quite content on her heating pad. Wart is just a baby, his first birthday is this week! We have had a few sia‐meezers and they have all been scream machines. They really do love to check the whole house for changes before settling in their same favorite spots.
