Well, I think I have mostly moved everything important off Gmail, so it's probably time to kill the account entirely.

After the bullshit they pulled today I'm done. No more Google products for me.

Sadly, Bonzo did not succeed.

todayilearned@noc.social - TIL Ronald Reagan was nearly killed during his acting career when the chimpanzee actor in Bedtime for Bonzo started strangling him with his necktie. He had to be cut free by a crewmember.

Trump isn't falling asleep, he's overwhelmed. My father, who's also a narcissist like that fucker CANNOT COPE when his actions are called into question. He closes his eyes and tunes out just like trump.

This is the FIRST TIME in his ENTIRE LIFE he has been made to answer for his misdeeds and he CANNOT COPE.

Ok kids! Story time!

The tale of how I was almost eaten by a bear while wearing a nightgown.

My buddy Chef called me one day and told me that a woman he had worked with in the hotel industry had purchased an old plantation hotel near Waynesville North Carolina and she was needing good people to come run it. She tapped Chef, and he tapped me as I had experience general managing historic hotels.

Long story short, I took the job, packed my trailer and hit the road.

So that's the scene. Western North Carolina very close to the Tennessee border near Asheville.

I rented a house midway between Asheville and Waynesville. It was in the big middle of a bunch of farms, so it was fairly isolated, and DARK.

I also still smoked cigarettes at the time, and that plays an important part in the story.

Remind me to tell you about the time I almost got eaten by a bear while wearing a nightgown.

I was wearing the nightgown. Not the bear. To be clear.

I am good at a lot of things, but picking friends IRL isn't one of them. Inevitably, I find the only energy vampire in a 100-mile radius and decide they're really neat.

I'm a dumbass.

Sudden memory of an internet famous woman about 13 years ago telling me that if I got a medically necessary otherwise I was gonna die total hysterectomy, I was no longer a woman.

That bitch is dead now. I'm not.

Got an eyeroll for that. He's also getting a vat of sunscreen.

The hottie hubs is putting my new kitchen island / breakfast bar together. Solid wood. Got it on wayfair. Planning on getting another and attaching it end to end. This will increase my cooking storage and prep space.

I do fully intend to use the phrase "hurt me, daddy" tomorrow with the massage therapist, who is male.

Because extra awkward is super fun. ;)

When either Gozer the Gozerian or Chtulu show up, LMK.

Yep. Gonna spend the next several months just observing the town. I'll attend the council meetings, do a lot of reading, figure out the revenues, budgets, etc.

Also research the people in power here. What makes them tick.

Then I'll start asking questions. Educated, pointed questions.

It really sucks that introverts are just not really welcome in politics because we would fix ALL THE THINGS.

Dear dipshit who commented "don't be a gentrifier" on my post about code enforcement:

WHAT PART OF MAKING THE CITY DO ITS JOB ENSURING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE POPULATION WOULD BE CONSIDERED GENTRIFICATION?

No, please answer because I want to know how fucking stupid you are.
