Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
I'm just getting to work on mentally processing the tsunamis and their death toll. (bends brain a bit more)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I read someone somewhere who said that the reason the individual stories appeal so much is because we can't really comprehend the reality of the numbers. So we need one person, one story to begin to get a handle on it. All that water.
I keep thinking of the numbers in terms of stadiums, which sounds kind of flippant, but I don't mean it that way. I started doing it at whatever point the toll was around 45,000, and it occurred to me that it was like a sold-out Safeco Field with everybody in it dead, and it's depressing to have to keep going to larger and larger stadiums to imagine the sheer number of people.
And I stopped watching CNN when I got too emotional about the stories of children being swept out of their parents' arms and imagining it was Annabel.

And now it looks like we'll be dealing with a University of Michigan football stadium full of dead people. It holds over 100,000. It's a big stadium.
The ocean, she is inexorable.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Aw, Lee, what's up?
Sorry to thwump and run. Mostly just a bad work day, but now, I get to go home. Yay.

That is just so far beyond wrong. This probably explains why I'm not further along on some kind of (*any* kind of) career path. Those kinds of hours are just unacceptable to me, and I'd tell anyone who had me working like that exactly where they could stick their billable hours.
I'd even provide diagrams.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I barely know what's going on in pop music anymore
Hush, you. Usher. That's all one needs to know. He's pretty.
Lee, please do go home, and make the most of fixing the rest of your day. But you have to hurry! Or, say, maybe avoid hurrying and exclamation points altogether.

Why does California still have a link to its 2002 Estimated Tax forms??
Arrrrggh.
