Got a continental breakfast here at Stanyan Park, then a telemeet (wifi is a bit janky), then migrating to svale for a mom visit, then up to union city to pick up my master and take him to Tiger Claw. Couple of gear changes for the day but I’m here for it.
Meanwhile, not stressing the election.

No mention of cheese lately...I'm worried about you.

Some of our fellow Americans are a bunch of dumb mother fuckers.

Well, as George Carlin said (roughly) - Think about how stupid the average person is. Half of them are dumber than that.
And they all got conned.

I'm supposed to work today - writing, copy editing, etc.
But I just can't get my head in the game. Been staring at my screen blankly, d00m scrolling.

I'm going through interview translations. I realize I have ordered a big bag of dicks.

Fortunately, today's not that demanding for me. I had hoped to get some writing done but it's totally jamming me. Writer's block. Blocked by a big orange cock. Instead of cluck cluck cluck, it's fuck fuck fuck.
Greg, your 'big bag of dicks' comment made me laugh. Thanks for that.

As long as that service isn't doling out those dicks, we good.
We all got one already.

sorta napped
still doing more d00m scrolling than working but got some meager tasks done
my eyes haven't been focusing properly today
tomorrow is a triple telemeet thurs - this might not be something that you all can relate to but my previous two companies were ethnically diverse. i am the only person of color in ymaa. of course, they all follow a taiwanese master, but they don't know what it's like to be the only person to have to take off their shoes when going through the nh airport. for the last horror clown term, the rise in asian hate was palpable. i suspect this time will be worse. i grew up with a lot of that. my daughter, while aware of it, did not. even though sf is a inclusive city, that gives me so much pause...

H is a Germanist and has that perspective you get from knowing that it has been less than 100 years since Civil Rights were rescinded, camps built, lives destroyed...here in the USA and in Germany. The upswing in racism was palpable to her in 2016 and she moved to Germany. I can pass, being what I am,
But she will always be a Black Woman.
My slow-boil anxiety is boiling over now. Too many people I care about are going to be on the firing line
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.
