Im feeling out of sorts in a lot of ways right now.

Laundry and meditation is on the docket this afternoon.

Fiance was talking about believing in the basic dignity and humanity of all human beings and how we just have to believe everything will turn out ok in the end.

And im over here trying not to make that Tina Belcher whine.

My fiance has some childhood friends he still tries to be fond of, despite their ecstatic love of the orange-fuck-muppet-we-call-president.

If marriage equality gets overturned in this country, im going to have to sit him down and explain to him, that he can only invite them to our faux-wedding if im allowed to punch them.

So I am trying to make these plans of mine, without being too maudlin.

Im failing.

When the time comes for the supreme court to uphold a religious right to discriminate against undesirables like me, my state will be one of the first ones to embrace it with glee.

It occurs to me, that I could be living in some sort of moment in history which could be this generations "peak gay rights."

I say this from a heavily gerrymandered state with a republican controlled, legislature with a veto and filibusterer proof majority, who is putting amendments on the ballot this year to prevent our liberal governor from making any judicial appointments.

Im hashing out plans on how me and my fiance can get married in a hurry, in the event Trump gets a supreme court apointee and a relevant case makes it through a federal district court.

Part of this is just documenting the kinds of paperwork we will need, and setting aside the monetary fees in our state and organizing it in envelopes I hope never to have to open. Etc.

Google invested 22 million in FirefoxOS feature phone focused spin-off fork KaiOS.

I frankly can't decide if this is hysterical or tragic.

WHAT THE HELL KENNEDY, WHAT THE MUTHERFUCKING HELL.

Its basically about putting classes of human behavior behind a proprietary google controlled machine readable API; and potentially a way for google and other multinationals to add crowd pleasing features to their platforms making many more millions while the service industry workers who make it possible continue on without their pay going up.

The immediate artificial crisis might have a solution.

If Disney buys FOX Kingdom Hearts IV is going to get very absurd.
