in the gold dust rush

Hmm, let's see...I like different music, Mexican food, some people, Jolly Ranchers, shoes, cheese, some books and TV shows and blogs, cats, most trees, oatmeal raisin cookies, and Art…but not necessarily in that order…or exclusively.

Did I ever tell you guys the story of how I figured out how to get THC candy bars delivered to my house? I was talking about that earlier. (kind of)

"The quirky filibuster rules in Texas made Davis' attempt both fascinating and perilous. In Texas, lawmakers aren't allowed to lean on a desk or chair during a filibuster and everything discussed while speaking continuously must be germane — you can't talk about topics unrelated to the bill. Anything deemed not germane is subject to a point of order, and Davis went up against a three-strikes-you're-out-rule on those points. In the seventh hour of her filibuster, Davis donned a back brace, but state Sen. Tommy Williams, a Republican, called a point of order on it. She had to lose the brace and take a strike. And the third strike was for speaking about a sonogram bill, which sounds related but the chair sustained the point of order on germaneness, and it ended her filibuster attempt."

Emphasis mine; nicely played, NPR blog. Subtle. (ssh, they'll never figure out which way you swing, cutie-pie.) No, but seriously, what the fuck just happened way down yonder in Austin?

I am super high rn, you guys, and the constant applause from the gallery in the Texas State Senate chambers that I'm listening to on the live feed is super fucking with me, like in an I'm-totally-tripping-right-now-you-guys, kind of way.
