Called my reps and said "do literally ANYTHING." I hate making calls. I think I sound ramble-y and like I have zero grasp on how U.S. government works in my voicemails. But it's the only thing I can do. Please make your own calls, too, if you haven't already.
In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today:
Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.
Aww bummer seems like the lenses are harming him now so he has to get it removed.
I guess he kept the wrong color and got the second eye done with the wrong one to have the matching set. He loves it so that’s something
Well dang the guy we’re following didn’t get the color he wanted apparently. They swapped these two guy’s lenses by accident and are saying the can just take em out and swap em, of course they will sterilize first. Wow, that’s some level of incompetence. But at least they have their vision still?
Patient: this just quite what I wanted
Staff: we did this for your benefit. Smile. It looks good.
Patient: but..
Staff: you’re good bro
This doesn’t seem ideal to me.
Oh wow they show part of the procedure and it is freaky
This also makes me think about body dysmorphia. Where does it end?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ the doc who does the procedure legit just said he would never do it. So I guess I like him a lot. He’s a straight shooter. He says if you can live without it then don’t do it
I get wanting to change your appearance. There’s no shame in getting plastic surgery or whatever if that’s your wish. Hell, if I could afford it I have an idea of what I’d want done. This procedure specifically could lead to blindness soooooo maybe not worth it?
Still sick so I’m watching random Netflix docs including the eye color changing procedure one. I do think I would rock the blue eyes my oldest brother inherited from our parents but my grandma told me my brown eyes are striking so I could never abandon them, even if the procedure didn’t scare me.
I feel like my apartment is falling apart. The ceiling in the bedroom needs fixing (I need to talk to the contractor), the toilet decided to not flush properly the last two days, and I found either one very smart roach or two less dumb ones the last three days. NOT into it.
Frivolity:
I've been watching a lot of SVU because that's my comfort/background show of choice right now and y'al Ice T needs more flowers for the work he does on this show. I love when Fin and Benson team up especially.
New drip that’s to the bed so I’m on the couch
Christ, my ceiling is leaking water and plaster bits. Handyman won’t come til tomorrow. At least he says he’s safe to sleep there still
Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about.

BREAKING: Streetsblog NYC just posted a great job for a law-enforcement reporter: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
I think he later talked about Cuba so you’re not far off
I think it happened on Sunday?
Yeah, he was signing something or whatever and sharted and the reporters were quickly shuffled out of the office. He has stunk up the White House on many levels. I refuse to watch the video with audio but allegedly you can hear it.
I can’t get over that the world is so utterly bonkers that the President shitting himself on tv was considered a blip.
Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.
we recognize that amazon is NOT AN IDEAL TOOL for this moment, so for those who don't want to give them money (fair!!!) please visit standwithminnesota.com and pick someone from the MANY OPTIONS. There are so many folks who need help! 💓
Nowadays I like certain things but the motivation to just DO the thing is hard to jumpstart. I think if every gym teacher had been like her, though, it would have been less a chore and more an adventure.
I had one but only part of the year. Ms. Pinto was amazing. She gave us the health information our actual instructor didn't and took us on walks around the neighborhood and told us its history. I think if she had consistently been my teacher I'd have a better relationship with exercise overall.
*clears throat*

This is how I’m coping with the world being on fire. Frivolous reality and sometimes prestige tv
Sidenote: some of these dresses are legit hideous and I question how they ended up made.
