I mean, when I decided to join the field, I thought I'd be a radical in a cardigan providing services and information to all. Now I'm frequently like "Ah yes, let us continue to support the heteronormative white-centric narrative in the world because it gets mad when we don't."
I know they called Trump the father of America First and I could only think about Charles Lindbergh spinning in his grave over being forgotten. #History#RNCConvention
I was going to poke about the RNC again today after work, but I'm le tired from staying up too late watching BSG (again) and a nap seems in order. I'll be ignoring the RNC until we hit the bar after martial arts at like 9pm.
Completely unrelated to the RNC, but my weird brain was very happy to watch the motorcycles do a wee "boop" as they went over that bump before the gate. Brain went from "what's going on?" to "yes, good, tiny motorcycle boops are fun."
Wisconsin Republicans: "Milwaukee is terrible, no one's gonna stay here after the convention."
Oh no, please, don't rush home and let us get back to our lives without this bullshit.
@bslowbro The part that makes me anxious is the empty streets around the convention soft border. Coast guard with guns is weird, but not unexpected. The absolute emptiness of Wisconsin Ave east of 43 just feels ominous.
@Wisco___Nation @natevomhof The weather has been pretty perfect this week. Monday was a bit hot, but dang, 70s, sunny and a breeze off the lake? Glorious.
@natevomhof Most workplaces around the area went "Everyone can work from home if they want." And gosh darn it, most folk did. An estimated 80k workers aren't at the offices downtown. Since the RNC brought in 50k ish visitors, that's a net -30k people downtown.
@TheGnarrator I mean, yes, in that pornography is defined by "would make someone horny, but not me, the judge of horniness, not at all, but SOMEONE (not me) would get off on it."
@IwriteOK Was it good booze or are we talking rail quality stuff? Because don't get me wrong, both are impressive, just one is more impressive than the other.
@UrbanMilwaukee The Trump Republican party tends to seem like unpleasant people to hang out with in bars and restaurants. It's like my Trumper Uncle is in town but ope, I'm too "busy" to have dinner with him. Such a bummer. Then multiply that by 49,999 people.
