📰 Texas lawmaker says 3rd graders should get training for gunshot wounds More guns + fewer restrictions + Republican logic = train 3rd graders how to control bleeding after a mass shooting. “Can’t address the real issue, it’s just a part of life today,” they say, and shrug. 🤷 Well thank god Texas and other red states are protecting children (even the zygotes!) from the REAL dangers: critical race theory, drag queens, and the free expression of ideas.

If US flags were ordered to be flown at half-staff “as a mark of respect” for the victims of every mass shooting that happened, US flags would never fly again. A Proclamation on Honoring the Victims of the Tragedy in Allen, Texas | The White House

Speaking of songs that have made me cry… Out To Get You by James

Some years ago I was listening to this song loudly, driving in my car, and for some reason it just kind of made perfect, overwhelming sense to me on such a primal level that I started crying about life and living and expectations. Once In a Lifetime by Talking Heads - song.link

🎵 My Aunt Dorothy was in a girl group when she was a teenager. I just found some of their songs on Apple Music! She sang lead on this sassy number, “I’m Gonna Steal Your Boyfriend” which also happens to be my favorite. https://music.apple.com/us/album/im-gonna-steal-your-boyfriend-the-teardrops/80917825?i=80917416

Took Lucy for a drive with the windows down. We listened to my Aunt Dorothy’s 1960s girl group, The Teardrops. Take a listen! Dorothy sang lead on this sassy song (which, btw, I lip synced to in my drag debut my 20s-it was a hit). I’m Gonna Steal Your Boyfriend by The Teardrops

👨‍⚖️ I’ve taken yearly ethics training since 2005, but the SCOTUS justices, according to Justice Roberts, “police their own ethics” suggesting no need for additional oversight (or additional training, for that matter). Well that makes me feel a lot better.

🐱 Although she’s still sneezing, Maggie Cat seems to finally be getting over her SIX MONTH chronic sinus infection. Three strains of bacteria, two of them resistant to meds. Poor thing.

🤖 I interacted a lot with Chat GPT today. Like, a lot. We talked and learned and laughed. Oh! How we laughed! I feel like we really get each other now. Like I can just be myself and Chat GPT can play the role of a hiring manager who needs to come up with a new hire training plan and everything will be ok… Wait. Whaddya mean it “isn’t real”? Artificial?

🚗 Ugh. My car’s key fob is doing that thing where you have to press it on the button thingie on the console for the car to start. Won’t lock or unlock the car either. Dealer’s next appointment availability? June.
