The joint fundraising committee of President Trump's reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee released a three-question "Inaugural Year Approval Poll" that offers readers no option to give a negative assessment of the president's first year in office. The only options for "how would you rate President Trump's first year in office" are "great," "good," "okay" and "other." 

Perfect. I could also use some feedback but not too much. So here's a poll:

How would you rate my performance in 2017?
__great
__good
__okay
__other

Text or email. I am particularly open to suggestions. Thanks.

If you don't have a sister, you should get one.

I am going to sleep like a rock/baby with a full tummy of lentils dreaming sweetly of pretty penises.

Virgo upshot

If I wanted anything, I would not get it, so it is just as well that all I want is to read my stack of books in peace. But starting today, family start rolling in on top of the boiler that is shot and $thousands$ to replace and everyone wants something different for dinner and please god let the plumbing hold up...

Shawn James - That's Life

Somewhere in the evolution resulting in peacocks, a depressing turn was taken. And it was my fault. I chose to be vital and chose mates to be of so little use that they were ultimately expendable. We women, we all did that. The only thing left that our gods might be is emotionally relevant, having been bred to be nothing else. And that would be ok except they can't hack that either, weighted down as they are by the ass factor that we engendered.


American Gods
By Neil Gaiman

“My last girlfriend was Greek....Greeks,” said the Iceman, with disgust. “And it ain’t true what they say about them, neither. I tried giving it to my girlfriend in the ass, she almost clawed my eyes out.”

The Evolution of Beauty: How Darwin’s Forgotten Theory of Mate Choice Shapes the Animal World — and Us
By Richard O. Prum

"If a science book can be subversive and feminist and change the way we look at our own bodies — but also be mostly about birds — this is it. Prum, an ornithologist, mounts a defense of Darwin’s second, largely overlooked theory of sexual selection. Darwin believed that, in addition to evolving to adapt to the environment, some other force must be at work shaping the species: the aesthetic mating choices made largely by the females. Prum wants subjectivity and the desire for beauty to be part of our understanding of how evolution works. It’s a passionate plea that begins with birds and ends with humans and will help you finally understand, among other things, how in the world we have an animal like the peacock."

Weekend love horoscope VIRGO: Rest assured, you matter quite a lot to the ones who matter to you, even when they are being too self-absorbed to do the right things.

This was a very thoroughly lousy day on every front. My pluck gave out and even my reservoir of fury is depleted.

I am weepily looking at adorable animals. Defeated.
