Today was cold and grey and generally sucked and the first three restaurants I thought to check for borscht didn't have it on the menu at the moment (and the fourth was two states away), but we walked out to Inman despite the drizzling rain and I had a bowl of borscht with sour cream at the S&S and it was extremely satisfying.

1. I am very glad to read that the revised travel ban continues to be ruled unconstitutional.

2. This is a very sweetly drawn comic about bisexuality.

3. Courtesy of gaudior: an appreciation of the Mahler's 6th mallet. I feel someone should point Hurra Torpedo at this symphony.

In conclusion: borscht.

This is a very sweetly drawn comic about bisexuality.

Oh, it is. It boggles me that people find it such a difficult concept.

I'm not sure whether so many people find it a difficult concept or whether there's so much cultural misinformation stacked against the facts. I had to have almost this exact conversation with someone who was a full generation younger than myself—who identified themselves as queer and knew the same about me and was starting from the position that bi people inherently cannot be trusted—and that just depressed me.

These days I mostly see people confusing bisexual with poly, or assuming that a bisexual person must necessarily be poly, which seems pretty silly to me. After all, most monogamous people are attracted to multiple folks. What does it matter whether the people-they're-attracted-to-but-not-messing-with are all the same sex?

It is silly. Those are two different axes: they can overlap, but there's no reason they have to. It is certainly not incumbent upon a bisexual person to prove their attraction to different genders by running relationships with all of them concurrently.

Watched the Hurrah Torpedo video. How does one tune a stove? Or do they pick songs in a key that works with that stove?

I have no idea, but I love the idea of songs in the key of Frigidaire.

I'm here, too, so as you know. I'm glad you are, too.

Likewise. I hadn't been sure you were.
