@Mondobizarrro - Oh yeah. There was GOOD reason for the flip.

Wish some folks would just give it up, though.

I find it funny that twenty years ago, one side of the population was all "Harry Potter is Satanic" and the other side was "It's a charming kids story" and twenty years later the sides switched pretty hard.

@socketwench - Nononono. Hear me out.

Hadn't thought about this Sesame Street short in decades. "I'm crowded, roll over" just popped up in my head last night, and I needed to find the rest of the song....

This is the "I Helped With This" portion of my memory shelf. There's going to be something new here soon.

Can't talk about it yet, but it's my second paid writing job. ❤

@JoscelynTransient - I blame two things for this.

One is the huge conservative backlash to corporations putting a pride spin on anything.

Secondly, I think they saw a lot of the "this is just performative" complaints (which it totally is), and decided "well, you don't want this, and it's a problem from the conservatives, why bother?"

I'm actually someone who wants to encourage the Pride stuff, even if it's performative. To me, it means that we're accepted enough to be pandered to like they pander to pretty much anyone else. We're now safe enough to sell to.

Quote of the day:

"Jenn Dolari - Your Emotional Support Nerd. ™"

Been a good month for wierd aerial phenomenon. First the aurora, and now sun halos.

Friday I noticed the left and right sun dogs, which is seen a few times up here. But I've never seen one above the sun, which is fairly rare.

So, I need to take a friend to the hospital for surgery tomorrow and need to be up by 8AM. When I need to be up early, I slowly try to get o sleep earlier and earlier over a few days. Last night, I went to sleep at 1AM to be up at 9AM today.

The most dangerous thing about my phone is that it will mute an alarm if it goes off for more than 10 minutes. And the most dangerous thing about my body is it will trick me into not waking up. In this case, making the alarm part of my dream, and DREAMING that I woke up.

It even gave me a little thunderstorm to wake up to. I should have realized it was a dream when I was in my parents house in Texa and the storm was very thundery. My alarm went off, I kept sleeping, and I woke up at my usual time. Now I'm going to have to NyQuil myself to sleep tonight to get up in time to take my friend to the hospital.

While I volunteered for this trip and don't blame my friend for the sleep issues, it really brings home how much I wish the business world understood how hard it is for me to be a day person, much less a morning person. Jobs are scarse on the hours my body wants to keep, I've done everything I could for 40 years to keep "normal" hours, I've gotten addicted to caffiene to just function close to normal hours, and health problems from lack of sleep beacuse of it.

Seriously considering going back to bed, and sleeping as long as I can and just staying up all night long to get them there early.
