Hec, did you get my email very much earlier today?
No, ma'am. Nothing.
It's, like, eons until Friday, isn't it?
It's well beyond the horizon.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My family must not know they're white.
I wouldn't make any assumptions that the set of people that beat kids has no white people in it (from eye witnessing), but rather that the set of people that decries beating kids has few black people in it.
One of my krav instructors chewed gum through the entire class on Saturday. It was weird, because it made her seem so much more badassed. All "Walk and chew gum? What about KICK YOUR ASS and chew gum?"

What is even happening?
I wouldn't make any assumptions that the set of people that beat kids has no white people in it (from eye witnessing),Neither would I.
but rather that the set of people that decries beating kids has few black people in it.Even then. I know plenty of white people who are exactly sure that's what is wrong with these kids today--nobody's spanking them.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hec, how about now?
Fuck, this is bad. Not quite the end of the day Monday and I'm already just a hair away from homicidal workplace road rage. I'd like a do-over on the last dozen years of career choices, please.

Heh. My family must not know they're white.
Neither does mine. But I think being part-Irish at least used to be an excuse.

I'm quite specifically not saying anything about them. Merely, and without implication in other arenas, that you're unlikely to hear black women complaining about corporally punishing kids. The two sets are unrelated.

Of course, the real time to worry is when she runs out.

The Motorcycle Diaries songwriter genuflecting before Prince was just about my very favorite moment of the entire evening. I made Hec rewind the TiVo five or six times for that one.

Yes. This. It's not about who is complaining that there isn't enough corporal punishment.
ita, read this today and laughed because I thought of you:
