MRW When SO Is Freaking Out About The New EXO Videos

SO changed her phone wallpaper & lock screen from 1/2 naked K-boi's to some cartoony k-boi icons. Improvement?

Damn Comcast's On Demand Music Video choices having #kpop vids, as if the company wasn't evil enough

SO's cat leaped to the top of her scratching post/tower for the first time to escape the #Kpop blasting from SO's laptop. #IfeelThatPain

Serenading SO

Greeted SO's return from the Topp Dogg concert with Iggy Pop. The most opposite music I could think of.

Job Titles

Apparently SO is now Kdrama streaming site tech support to her friends

Hey y’all.

Old cishet white lady here. I’m going to lecture at you, and not just because it’s my day job.

Vote for the guy you can persuade.

Don’t vote for the guy who will fuck with 9/10ths of the country and half the planet.

Don’t vote for some third-party rando. That’s a vote for Orange Man.

And don’t sit this one out, due to apathy or despair.

FIGHT.

Fight hard. Fight now. Give money, even $1. Post signs. Write postcards. Get your friends and acquaintances to register to vote. Then make sure they DO vote.

I’m more afraid than I was during Reagan/Bush. And I was terrified then.

I’m afraid for my queer kid, for my students, for my friends.

AND I AM GOING TO FIGHT, because I am a cranky old bitch who loves this country, as flawed and crazy as it is and can be.

Also, I’m fighting because I am enraged that the powerful, the oligarchs, the rich white dudes, think that a rapist racist homophobic felon with no discernible ethics has the right to lead us.

They aren’t going to save us. We have to save ourselves.

So start. Register people to vote. Doublecheck your own registration status. Sign up to be an election monitor. Write letters and tweets and posts to the big newspapers whose editors are acting like the felon is going to win. Call. Write. Speak. Post signs. Protest. Write postcards to undecided or lapsed voters.

My ancestors fought in two revolutions and I will too, if I need to.

Old lady out.

Thank goodness I'm canceling my Sirius/XM subscription in my car, as SO just discovered the Korean channel.
