Realm: Various - Subrealm: Waiting for the storm to break

Just came back from a walk, which was very nearly a mistake, given that it is currently lightning-ing so much that I can't tell how close it is, because by the time you have time to count, there's been another flash of lightning, and then another after that...

This morning I went down to the Catholic church finally got off my arse and went to a BLM protest. It was, I hasten to add, a socially-distanced protest, and not downtown: sixty or so people, a good percentage of them children, at the intersection of Rindge and Alewife Brook Parkway, all with signs. I briefly talked with gaudior, whose post had alerted me that this was happening.

Anyway, we all held signs and waved at cars, many of whom honked and waved back enthusiastically, and zero of whom (that I saw) reacted negatively. I don't know how much good we did, out on the outskirts of the People's Republic of Cambridge. But at least I tried to do something.

Apartment Status: Staying in Belmont - if our landlord will actually send us the dam' lease.

I don't think it's an empty gesture to show up and be counted anywhere.
