reminds me of the time we took our 2.5 y/o to the zoo and she surmised the peacocks were turkeys, threw herself against their enclosure yelling "GOBBLE GOBBLE" — PolitiTweet.org

@ebruenig When my son was this age, all birds were chickens. It was hilarious watching him walk up to pigeons saying "Come here chicken"

there's much to be said for finding the right balance in terms of total connectedness, instantaneously entering into the virtual presence of anyone anywhere at a moment's notice, and hiddenness, asynchronicity, distance, silence. pandemic has hastened extremes of both — PolitiTweet.org

one data point to emerge from lockdown is that video conferencing really sucks. i hope dearly it's not the new normal. i remember watching blade runner as a kid and thinking: good lord, it would suck to have to put on makeup to talk on the phone. and it does suck! — PolitiTweet.org

he died peacefully in his old age, and my dad still gets emotional when he talks about him. https://t.co/ElLhXpNn7p — PolitiTweet.org

he was like. the possum had to go. it was threatening Baby (the belovéd siamese.) — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
the reason dad had to blast the 'possum at point blank range with a 16ga is that the possum was discovered in the garage, where our cat liked to hang out and lay on the cars as they cooled down. my dad, complicated dude that he is, is also a major siamese cat enthusiast — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Stentz @MuseZack
@ebruenig Was the possum rabid or did your dad just not like them?

@MohammadSh980 yeah, i think the whole calculus would be different if matt were an ex marine force recon guy who could wake up from a dead sleep, access his top-secret gun safe in total stealth, lock, load, and shoot to kill with 98% accuracy. but as it stands we're just people — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@MohammadSh980 i get that this is a terrifying prospect but i think it's very rare compared to, say, kids getting ahold of guns and killing each other/themselves with them — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
ha, well that was a bit jocular, but his actual position is: having a loaded gun laying around (that we're not trained to use) is so much riskier to the two tiny children we have than the very remote risk of someone with homicidal intent invading our home that it's not worth it — PolitiTweet.org
QuixCap @QuixxxCap
@ebruenig So he had no answer.
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
when we got married i did ask matt if he thought it would be wise to have a gun in the house. he said no. i asked him what he would do if someone broke in. he said he would inform them this is a private residence and give them directions to the nearest 7/11 — PolitiTweet.org

@atlanteansummer @Maarblek virtually all politics has some element of psychosexual neurosis, though. it's not like it's unique to right-populism — PolitiTweet.org

ha, no. i've been around guns, i've seen them used (at one point dad wasted a 'possum in our driveway; i remember watching the blood gush in a rhythmic arc from its half-obliterated throat and belly until it died) but i've never fired one. dad always said the kick would kill me. — PolitiTweet.org
Cath 🤷♀️ Kennedy @Pepperedstars
@ebruenig I appreciate the thoughtful response but we all just wanna know if you and matt have ever been to the gun range together

if the cultural context is decently sober, if there's a strong expectation of safety and respect and the goal of ownership isn't brandishing some rambo looking submachine gun at your local jack in the box to own the snowflakes, i think that's better than what we have now. — PolitiTweet.org
