Oh do some Saki! He was in no way a communist but definitely subversive. Here’s what I wrote about him somewhere else:

Check out a writer called Saki. He was a queer English man who was killed in WWI and wrote some delicious short stories.

I was lucky to have a jr high teacher who had us read one of his stories, Sredni Vashtar, and that got me reading his other stories. It’s all subversive stuff, very fun. The Chronicles of Clovis and Beasts and Super-Beasts have some great stories.

What do you like about KoReader? I think I installed it on a bold reader a while back and didn’t feel that impressed. Willing to have my mind changed though.

This is also a reason to abolish schools as they exist now.

Really happy to see Donna Brazile in this article. Brazile Nuts is probably my favorite chap episode.

Need you to share that recipe comrade.

Be real, the pigs got free tickets.

AI is the other members of my polyworkcule

Mother Night by Vonnegut is criminally underrated. The movie version is also excellent.

Imagine going to a convention and not being given post it note pads too small to write on and shirts that fall apart the first time you wash them. That’s Trumps America.

I have one in an extremely bright/irritating color so I guess it’s never scanned as an “office chair” to me.

I’ve seen so many gray Herman miller chairs that that was what I was trying to avoid with this.

Alternatively: get one of those kneeling chairs from the 90s lol

Look at used office stuff. Steelcase Leap chairs are fantastic

People at my work are sad and saying “We will get through this” which is obviously wrong but I understand the wanting to believe everything is going to be ok. The next observation often made is that since Trump won there won’t be violence. Clearly these two thoughts can’t coexist.

I figure this is when we make inroads to radicalize.

Is that the kid who was rapping Not Like Us at her rally?

Element wants an email address to register and I’m not down with that. Suggestions for other places to register?

Lol I love that argument because it means that we can finally accept that the US is less more sexist than Mexico, which just elected a Jewish woman president. Never mind she and her party just spent the last n years pursuing policies that made material differences in the lives of ordinary families. That’s beside the point.

Thanks. I sort of figure that if things suck I’ll just keep him out of school for a day or two.

We don’t listen to the news or talk about the shitty policies that both sides proposed, so for him the election is just a novel concept. He understands the concept of “American democracy” (puking emojis here etc) as presented to first graders, and likes the idea of voting. So that’s fine, whatever. Last night when I was putting him to sleep he said, “You know, the good thing about Trump winning is that he can’t win again. Sometimes a bad thing can be a good thing.” Which is exactly the sort of metacognitive, dealing with life evens skill I want him to have so fuck everyone and everything else, I think he’s OK.

I think the big thing here is eventually helping him to understand the difference between establishment electoral politics and people powered movements.

My first grader’s teacher is a big lib and has been really into Kamala, so my kid is, too. I let it be because his teacher is also sort of prickly (“sensitive”)and I don’t want her getting on his ass if he says anything about lib world.

So that’s not fun.

Pedro the Lion really looks rough these days.
