Be livid
Today… a few points of personal privilege.
This year’s Virginia’s gubernatorial campaign is almost over, and oh my God if it isn’t example #1 of why one-term limits are absurd. Perpetual, endless, infinite campaigning. Virginian women are exhausted. Shoot, I’m exhausted, I can’t imagine how they feel.
Next week is going to be a lot, between Monday Supreme Court and y’know, the work that pays me. Plus I’m still schlepping the child in the full leg cast to and from school every day.
And by request, a picture of the stuffed pumpkin I mentioned the other day. The stuffing was day-old bread, gouda, kale and vegetarian Italian sausage. Delicious. The pumpkin itself was eh, but mixed in with all the good stuff, it was fine.
