This is what he said. This is what the man said, verbatim, in Detroit last week:

I have hermit/recluse tendencies anyway, and I'm finding myself retreating into the comfort food of my being - music. But I know we do need to encourage each other, & continue the work of convincing younger, more jaded people than ourselves to F*^¥in' VOTE! (I honestly can't understand how any but the very most stupid of people haven't finally seen through the mango monster.)

William Lindsey :toad:

@lolonurse It's wonderful that music feeds your soul and allows you to escape. And, yes, absolutely, we have to do all we can to urge the younger folks we know to go out and vote — as if their future and lives depended on it. By they way, and partly vis-a-vis music, have you seen "White Bird"? I found it really wonderful and recommend it.

William Lindsey :toad:

@TheDailyBurble @futurebird I'm sorry, but I'm not clear as to what you're saying to me here.

William Lindsey :toad:

@TheDailyBurble @futurebird I wish you well with that response.

@wdlindsy
Thank you! No, I haven't seen it yet, and you're the second person this week to urge me to see it! So maybe I'll take my sister to see it. (I resisted, but was told it's not about Nazis, but about kindness...)

William Lindsey :toad:

@lolonurse It's very good. Against the backdrop of addressing the heinous evil of the Nazis and their fellow travelers, it does lift up hope and kindness and light in darkness. As the friend who first recommended it to me said, "It's depressing and hopeful at the same time." And I think that may be the best we can hope for as we each keep trying to light our candle against the darkness?

@wdlindsy
Sorry - busy day - Covid booster, cat-sitting, doctor's appointment... anyway, I told my sister we have to see it when she gets back home. Thanks again!

William Lindsey :toad:

@lolonurse If you have a chance to see it, I'll be interested to hear your take on it. Good luck with all the activities and the effects of the booster. Got mine recently and had no side effects, thankfully.

I always opt for positivity...
but I've got 102.4 temp (much higher than my usual reaction temps of 99-99.4), and I feel like roadkill. Oh well - this too shall pass.

William Lindsey :toad:

@lolonurse I'm so sorry to hear that. A reaction, I'd expect, from the Covid vaccine. I hope it's over soon! Please take care of yourself, get lots of fluid, and rest.
