Patty wants a pony. Actually, she needs book recs for our trip!

If you're just scrolling through now, my Maine fury is in the post prior to this.

I wish I could retroactively cancel the subscription I had to Seventeen twenty-five years ago. Why? Oh, you know, transphobia.

Official who refused to perform interracial marriages has resigned. While whining about not being allowed to put his conscience into practice.

Man, it's not just Maine that's all on the "some citizens have more rights than others" bandwagon. Yeah, apparently now we're talking about healthcare reform not applying to legal immigrants.

Emma Thompson has agreed to remove her name from a petition supporting Polanski's release.

Some people I know have received some horrifically bad news. I am sad.

Meanwhile, I'm still behind on my NaNo quota, but I wrote another great chapter yesterday and started another chapter that I really need to finish today, although I am not sure when.

I'm not a fan of modern stuff. In fact, I find this rather ugly, but I can recognize that it's well-done and interesting. Non-driver in Berlin renovates gas station and turns it into a home.

*STAMPITY*

And yes, it is a bit brutalist, but that renovated gas station is certainly an improvement on the previous lot, and it's been very sensitively done, in keeping with the styles of Berlin Bauhaus.

(By contrast, I recall an old 1930s gas station in my part of the UK that got converted into a cellphone store.)
