It's insane, this world we've fallen into. I went to my first ever march/protest
on Saturday. The "Immigrants Make America Great" march in Los Angeles. It was an
incredible experience. I even managed to reconnect with an old friend from high
school in the midst of the march. I'm terrible at estimating crowds, but I'd say
it could easily have been in the tens of thousands. It was great to see so many
people stand together, and stand up for the rights of so many people that are
now vulnerable thanks to the Xenophobic Tangerine that has burrowed into the
Oval Office. We can't let this become normal. We have to keep fighting. Keep up
the fight my friends and townies.

Of course, I can't be _all_ doom and gloom. Today, while trying to answer a
question from tildebot, I got a fill-in-the-blank quote that led me to the
discovery of a delightful song entirely by accident.

[Jeffery Straker - Slings and Arrows](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLM8jGMIaIQ)

Hope you enjoy this upbeat jazz/pop/swing fusion!

I want to shout out to all the amazing townies that populate this server. To
name a few names, ~mio, ~vilmibm, ~desvox, ~elly, ~kc, ~joe, ~curiouser and I
know I'm forgetting so many people, but I feel like I need to say how happy
people on here make me. So thank you. Thank each and every one of you.

Oh, one more thing on Trump. It's so... bizarre. He's already campaigning, he
forced Chris Christie to eat meatloaf, (!?!?) and gave the strangest press
conference I've ever seen. What in the hell is this universe right now. Thanks
to John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Samantha Bee, and Trevor Noah for keeping me sane.
