Hi Brekkers. I haven't checked emails much

Haven't been any, sorry. Caught up in PBEM angst between August & Coradel, when not wrestling with OMG IT'S THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND WE HAVE TO GET THESE SENIORS TO PASS SO THEY CAN GRADUATE OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

ha

I bet the seniors agree

And Coradel and August Angst is good angst I'm sure

It's...fraught.

Oh dear

We'll get there.

Anyway....

How's life for you guys?

I did two of the three things today!

traffic.

but Jaymes and Dagmar got talking in anywhere. 🙂

With your permission, since Brekke gave Vali the go ahead to cash the check, I think the two of them may get their house sooner rather than later.

Cool

Until then, she's bunking with.... Siv? Sylvi?

One of em 🙂 Gerd is with Vali so.

... She might realize later tonight how crazy what she just did is...

And the Browns just let her do it, so...

Yup.

But they're not brainwashed. nope nope nope 😉

Sorry, got caught on another screen.

wb?

Somebody wrong on internet, etc.

oh lordy do I know that

I reddit

Dagmar can bunk with Sylvi...and in fact, Sylvi's okay with her borrowing her room while she's away, if they still need it then.

cool!

So Dag shows up tonight with her big black trashbag-o-stuff.

I got caught by someone wrong as well 🙂

I made the mistake of defending free speech

and bam 😉

So much wedding cake talk.

I put it this way: If a person comes in wearing a neo-Nazi symbol and asks for a My Little Pony cake, there's no argument for refusal. If a person comes in wearing a My Little Pony shirt and asks for a cake with a neo-Nazi symbol, then there's a good argument for refusal.

Oh man, the cake results. 7-2 surprised me

I was expecting a 5-4 4-5 kind of thing one way or another

I need to read it more closely. Pretty sure that's not how it would have gone had Obama's choice for justice been permitted to be voted on...BUT....

Yeah, apparently it is a very specific and narrow ruling so something similar may still come up again.

Yeah, I saw one judge said he might easily rule differently at another time.

I apologize for bringing politics up, but the idea of trump selecting another SC justice worries the hell out of me.

No Shit.

Have you read The Handmaid's Tale?

Nope. the show is on Hulu, gets a lot of praise, but i worry I would be.. uhm. how do I say this? I think I prefer escapism 😉

Blanket fort!

Join me!

Yeah.

I mention it because there's a scene where the narrator is recalling how she and her husband kept thinking things were going to get better, kept waiting for the moment that things got so bad that they knew they had to leave...and once they made that decision, it was too late.
