What a stupid week.
Here's some stuff I might have skimmed:
This happened, in case you missed it.
This was well said.
I wonder what impact the tornado had on primary results, since it affected one of the most progressive areas in the whole state. Not only were people, you know, a little busy dealing with other stuff, but many precincts were inaccessible and voters were diverted to other locations that weren't meant to accommodate such heavy volume. We waited for over 2 hours for Andy to vote (I had done early voting) but obviously not everyone had the luxury of just standing around for hours that day, or any day.
I hope North Nashville isn't violated twice, first by the tornado and again by a tide of opportunistic developers. I also have no room to speak since I live in a neighborhood transformed by the last tornado, but I didn't realize that was the case when I moved here.
Some practical advice.
I tried to distract myself with something non-apocalyptic. It didn't work, but maybe you'll enjoy it. Deb Perelman is a national treasure.
Analog Reading:
Finished The Great Pretender by Susannah Cahalan. Nothing like a book about mental illness and fraud to pull you through a dark time.
Trying to read Caucasia by Danzy Senna for my book club, but it's hard to concentrate.
