I don't want to be ignorant, but can I take the blissful part?

[effervescible]

Between the senseless, heartbreaking shooting in Virginia and the equally senseless Supreme Court ruling that does nothing to help fetuses and hurts mothers (and if you wanna debate the point, DON'T, I like y'all and I don't want the both of us to end up pissed off) I just want to stick my head in the sand and not think about all the SHIT in the world. I know it's bad when I can't even hang out at Pandagon and Feministe without wanting to scream. I'll get over it and try to do my part in a while, but for right now...is it so bad to bury myself in fandom and fun things for just a little while? So I don't lose my mind?

Sigh.

I feel like the end of this week is both a long time coming and not here soon enough. I'm making a four-hour drive to Boston on Saturday, which I am NOT looking forward to, but then I get to see utenatai which I am TOTALLY looking forward to. Ash > eight-hour round trip. I went to the gym today as a guest, and I'm gonna join it. It's cheap, it has lots of treadmills and ellipticals, and it's not full of intimidating hardbodies. What could be better?

No, not at all. Staying sane is very important. I'm doing the same thing... I can't stand even one more word of news.
