Hmm. Well.

1. There's that 75,000 words thing I signed up to write.
- 1(a) Finish the Chronicles
- 1(b) Complete the Fanfic 100 which is at about 97 already. The Chronicles stories will help! It may mean writing the Wallow, but, well. I have been meaning to write The Wallow since about 2006.

2. >160

3. Create a series of 'stained glass windows' (which will not actually be made of glass) to be used, ideally, around my dining room for a Yuletide party next winter.

Americans - I don't quite have the words, but I feel for you, most sincerely. Have spent the last 24 hours or so being *horrified* (or asleep). Good luck.

Justice, law and order, electoral systems, these are all constructs which depend on our belief. When someone, like Trump, refuses to believe in them and refuses to follow the acknowledged rules, they will be weak until the rules and the beliefs are asserted very strongly once again. I really hope you and your representatives will be able to do that.

From the Canadian Globe & Mail:

British politics today is what results from the collision of an unstoppable force, an immovable object and a clown car.

Or... a really brutal game of Mornington Crescent?

It is to laugh. And cry.

Oh, fuck you, Boris Johnson. Bilious flaxen git.

Butfirst: European council president Tusk said: “Let me make one personal remark to the members of this parliament. Before the European council, I said that we should be open to a long extension if the UK wishes to rethink its Brexit strategy, which would of course mean the UK’s participation in the European parliament elections. And then there were voices saying that this would be harmful or inconvenient to some of you.
Let me be clear: such thinking is unacceptable. You cannot betray the 6 million people who signed the petition to revoke article 50, the 1 million people who marched for a people’s vote, or the increasing majority of people who want to remain in the European Union.”

Thank you, Donald Tusk. It's nice to be recognised as sincere and European, particularly since our own politicians won't even acknowledge our existence. Bastards.

Cut for personal stuff and fatal violence )

I have to believe there are quite a few Labour party members who kinda wish they had a different leader. Yvette Cooper, maybe.

Cannot cope with thinking about Brexit. The very existence of our politicians fills me with rage right now. But I booked my coach ticket to get to next week's march.

FIL's greenhouse is 'being troublesome' again. This is because he was too cheap to get a proper, glass-based greenhouse, instead he found a Bargain(TM) in polycarbonate, and gave Beast no alternative but to help him put it together. Beast has been Very Stern on the subject, and FIL is now looking at buying a moveable polytunnel which, most likely, will blow away in the first high wind. *bafflement*

Just completed a monster newsletter so I am going to veg with a well-deserved cup of coffee, and finish another hat.

Eight years ago I stayed up to watch the West Coast of America go blue for Barack Obama. (Still don't think the US's election practices make sense, but whatever.)

Stayed up last night in the hope of seeing the same thing happen for the first woman president of the USA. I was really, really hoping that the US would do something that'd heal, a little bit, what was done in my own country at the Brexit referendum.

And now, I feel sick.
