So right now I'm sitting in my living room, kind of exhausted, looking at a green chair that used to sit in my Grandmother's living room. This weekend was eventful, and I'm tired.
Crysta and I went down to Milwaukee so we could spend father's day with my parents (along with some other family members). We went to the Brewer's game on Sunday, and like any game of baseball, it was a good time. I've never been a huge sports person, but I love watching a good live baseball game.
Honestly it was an amazing day.
Before I left town on Saturday though, I swung by the local No Kings protest here in Eau Claire, and then spent a chunk of time at the local Pride celebration. I tend to be a bit of a shut in these days, so with all the awful stuff in the news it was nice to remind myself that there are good people in the world willing to stand up for what's right and for each other.
My grandmother passed away not that long ago, and one thing I had my parent set aside for me was a chair. I realize that it looks a bit more gold in the photo, but trust me when I say it's green in real life. This morning I loaded it into my pickup and drove it across the state and got it into my living room. I loved this chair as a kid, and importantly... it swivels. And when I was growing up adults would always yell at me not to spin the chair. Well guess what, it's my chair now.
And no one can stop me from spinning.
I dunno -- it was just a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. We also went out to dinner after the baseball game yesterday, but I think I'll give my full opinion on that later this week in a different blog post. Because we went to a restaurant none of us had been to before, and uh... I have thoughts.
That was vague. I'm being vague. You're just going to have to be okay with that.

I applaud you Garner. Even assholes can do the right thing sometimes. Most people are rarely ever wholly bad or wholly good.
I dunno about Terrance though… He just keeps getting worse.
Ya gotta remember, even jackasses have others that they rightfully regard as jackasses. Hardly anyone is a complete prong about everything. Well, ‘cept Terrance thusfar…
That’s pretty much what I meant, really.
Why did this conversation wait for Garner to have? Con staffers should have made this point to Terrence long before now.
I got the impression that Lynn and Ruth were the first con staffers to notice the uniform and Lynn was specifically told not to do anything. Garner was the third to notice and here we are now.
Sometimes I feel like people need a lecture on civics class 101: Freedom of Speech does not mean freedom to say whatever you want where ever you want. It means the government can’t limit it.
Lol cons can do whatever the fuck they want if you say or do shit like this.
Even from the government, you are free to say whatever, but you are not free from the results of doing so. And yeah, Cons get to make their own rules. To a point, of course.
AHH poppers paradox if your culture is too tolerant the intolerant will exploit it
