* So 45's response to his wild incompetence that is literally killing people in Puerto Rica right now is to make racist comments about how lazy the Puerto Ricans who have been doing hurricane relief since Irma on August 31st and who've been organizing and working hard to keep people alive with next to no resources since Maria lazy, while he himself is wasting taxpayer money on his weekly taxpayer funded vacation. After all, why not attack the people actually doing the work rather than saving lives?

* This weekend is both Harvest Festival on Game of Bones and get the exterior decorations up for October. Today was productive on both counts. I've got a way to go though.

9:50 PM: The Tiny Terror Discovers some Total Asshole covered his windowsill with Goth Tchotchkes. Mayhem ensues.

10:20: Banished from his window sea by offending Gothmas Tchotchkes, the Tiny Terror broods Dark Knight like, perched on the fish stand ledge.

* Sigh. So not only did I spend the last week and a half blocking NAZIs, Anti-Choice people, etc. over an anti-hate crime article I linked ages ago on tumblr, but a thing I said about health care... Friday I think? Has gone low key viral, and is starting to attract 45's groupies to cuss at people reading me. Charming.

* My fundamental frustration with the Anthony Perkins Cavott interviews is that it is 1980 and he absolutely can't ask the questions I desperately want answers to. I want to know about his relationship with Nurayev, what it was like for him living in the closet so long, what he thought about the Plague that would take his life. I want to here about all the complexity of his life, but it's 1980, so it's all about Psycho and Equus. The Equus material was interesting to be but.... I had such complicated feelings about his life and career as a teen, feelings too big for a half hour interview in any case.
