Call me selfish, but I'm not all that concerned about extinction beyond how it would affect me directly.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not entirely convinced that extinction rates anywhere in the bad/good spectrum. Not ours, anyway. It's just a thing.
It'd be a shame if we did it to ourselves, though.

Hey guys...I'm speed-reading Natter, so only one word in about every ten is sticking, which is leading to some odd sentences in my brain.
(Thanks DX! I was cranky because the day I took photos, he got a face rash and gave himself a fencing scar down one cheek. But he'll do; I think we'll keep him.)

Oh, sure. It would be nice not to be responsible for destroying the earth or whatever, but you know, shit happens.

Hi Raquel! Pretty baby! If you change your mind about keeping him, I'm sure you'll have no problems ditching the cutie.

Sometimes shit happens. Sometimes you're shat upon.
Sure, I'm stinky either way, but I do attach different values to each.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Thanks for all the good wishes. In particular, thank you to Steph for your reassuring words about permanent damage being unlikely.
Helen was doing very well when I saw her last night. She was speaking clearly and not getting confused (which was happening a lot in the morning). Apparently she's doing even better this morning and has been moved out of the ICU.
I'm waiting for a call from my mother to get more news. She called early this morning, but I was in the shower.
I'm not exactly getting much work done, but I don't know if I should be there or not. My other sister just finished her term, so she's free to fill in when Mum needs to leave. I don't know.

I can't even.
For those concerned about that part of the religious right that want to impose a theocracy on the US
That's alarming stuff, tommy, but good to see in one place where one click fills people in on the history. The burning question is will it take 25 years to turn that momentum around, and if it does, what will the USA look like by that time?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ha!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
what will the USA look like by that time?
On the bright side - maybe the telomere erosion will get us first.
