Trust my rage
I have now figured out why I don't fit so well where I live. My neighborhood is made up of:
Mayberry-ville
Shotguns & Pickups
Traditional Times

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
When I tell people(outside of conventions and similar places) where I work and what I do there, I get blank looks a lot.('Cuz, y'know, science is =hard=)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've seen plenty of people physically recoil when I tell them what I do.

The genteel poor learned to work for a living. If they're really genteel, they work at nonprofits or universities or art galleries.
My best fruend and I grew uo "genteel poor". That is , maybe the toilet never worked properly and you had to throw the dushwater out in the yard, but you were well read and never worried where the food was coming from. She was a little more genteel than I.
This has made us form our theory that this had made us unsuccessful, even though we are both smart and personable. We don't want to take risks. If you have parents who can bail you out, you can take big rishs, and if you are very poor you can too, because what have you got to lose! If you spent your life just barely hanging on to lower middle class, you don;t want to take the risk. You can see where you were just one step away from worrying about food to eat, and you neer want that.
This is why I am a secvretary and not a costume designer. I know I can eat I know I have health insurance and a roof over my head.

all instances of pinching only refer to the pinching of sara's cheeks and ita's bum.
Good luck with that! It's like STEEL, baybee.
This reminds me of a question we used to debate in college -- if you knew someone was going to pinch your butt (and it was someone who you *wanted* to be pinching your butt), would you clench your butt muscle to make it seem all tight and buns-of-steel, or would you leave it unclenched?

It hurts less if you clench.

Clenchy steel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It hurts less if you clench.
But this is someone you want to be pinching your butt. Are you revealing some masochistic yearnings? Denial of same? How long have you felt this way, Ms HP?
If *I* wanted them to pinch my butt, there's a good chance I'd be be all showing off and all buns of steel. But I think I shouldn't. So from now on, I resolve not to.
