mallorys_cameraJeff Sessions as Attorney General?
Are you fuckin’ kidding me?
This is a guy whose casual racism cost him a federal judgeship back in 1986.
This is a guy who once remarked that the Ku Klux Klan were “okay” till they started smoking marijuana.
This is a guy who thinks the South in the 50s and 60s was a suburb of Eden where white people and black people lived in perfect harmony because everybody knew their place – the white people lived in those big houses along Main Street and the black people lived in little shanties close to the train tracks.
Not just a racist – and please to note: There is active racism where you call a grown man, “Boy” (which Sessions does) and there’s also passive racism in institutions like ethnic profiling (which Sessions supports) – but notoriously hard-line both on illegal and legal immigration.
This could not be worse.

Seriously considering going to the Million Women’s March on Washington on January 21.
Tentative plan is for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kdotdammit to fly in from Tucson and for us to bus down together for a rousing day of solidarity with the sistuhs! It will be very cold. There will be no bathrooms. I will be surrounded by representatives from the Pantsuits Nation with whose politics and partisanship I’m not in strong agreement.
And yet. And yet. And yet.
Sometimes what you think is not very important. Sometimes the only important thing is the weight of your body.
It feels very important to be there.

Else?
I finally ran out of Revlon Colorsilk Luminsta 112 hair dye, so I now have about two inches of unattractive grey roots. My hair grows excessively fast. Colorsilk Luminista gets my hair the precise shade of aubergine that I like, but Revlon discontinued manufacturing it a few years back. There are probably a few boxes of it floating around in the Van Allen belt that encircles the Internet, but I think it’s probably smartest to bite the bullet and research the efficacy of other hair dyes.
Also, I need a manicure.
Also, I need to wash the black cashmere sweaters that are the staples of my wardrobe in the winter months. It’s warm and beautiful today, but it’s supposed to snow this weekend.
I tend toward the slatternly. Clean but slatternly. I understand that one must keep up with the packaging but girly-girl-girl things just don’t interest me. So frequently, now that beauty has deserted me, I look like a bag lady. A clean bag lady.
Less so, though, when my hair and nails are done, and I’m wearing a black cashmere sweater. Cashmere is a fashion evergreen.
