* Seriously folks, check your registration. We need the Hose and Senate if you want any checks on 45 at all.
Vote early if your state offers the opportunity, and make sure you vote in every race, because you’ll be needing your State Legislature if you want choice and birth control in your state once Roe goes down.
November may be our last or second to last exit ramp to keep Democracy. Don’t sit this one out.

I won back or parking from and able bodied person who'd been hogging it all weekend, but Squirrel's been using my car again, so I suspect we've just lost it again, since this is his game night. After I put things away, I did some bits and bobs in the garden that needed doing.

I really, really need to do more auction things as I'm falling further and further behind.
Still, there is something about the Gothmas decorations that makes everything better. I am a sucker for dead things and pretty lights.
* Enough time has passed that I decided to rewatch Lost Boys, which I loved when I saw in theaters and which I watched a lot in the '90's as we had it on VHS. There is no way to convey to anyone much younger than me how exciting this movie was hen it came out. lots of people have copied that long crane shot over water to convey the PoV of Vampires in Flight, but in '87, this was new and exciting. The "People are Strange" montage captures that exact moment where, punk and metal aesthetics started to spawn real Goths. The iconic looks of the Vampire clan were very of that moment, and the humor was exactly our sense of humor as teenagers about the same age Micheal was meant to be. So much of this movie is a time capsule of that particular slice of time, and still carries for me the sense memory of sitting between my lovers to watch it. The Autumn of '87 was such an action packed time for me, and everything going on right now in the world has it in the front of my mind. I have shivers watching certain sequences
for reasons I can't exactly explain that have to do with layered memories of various times and people I've watched this with. I've no idea how it holds up for people watching now the same age I was then. It still works for me, it seems.
