• certain mirrors and lighting make me think i have the hairiest ears i’ve seen on a human. it only happens sometimes though, like in this southwest airplane bathroom. i just wonder, is this a defining physical characteristic of mine that literally everyone notices but that i never have? i think of my grandfather’s ears.
• rattled, like so many, from the last 48 hours of politics and its gross spillover into cultural warfare and personal triggers—particularly the maddening sight of people who have clearly never experienced abuse smugly lecturing about why and how to litigate blame and prosecution. and persecution. it’s interesting where the mind goes at 4am when one wakes up for an early flight. today, is tumbling around, i still couldn’t stop thinking about the contrast of Dr. Ford acting as her own expert witness, describing memory function and the hippocampus, while Kavanaugh shrugged, argued, threatened (“what goes around comes around!”), conjured stories about left-wing (as in, the majority of voters in the last presidential election?) conspiracies, “quarter games” (?) and other sloppy insults to everyone’s intelligence while under oath. And for many, this passed as a clear case of he-said-she-said.
