Oh no, bon. All my best to you and the family Bob.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired
What about "Origin Belief" instead of "Origin Myth?"

I prefer the term "channeling" It' more of an homage. Used sparingly, of course.
ETA: Also, I thought of you the other day as I added H:LotS to my Netflix queue. I think I've only ever seen one ep.

My case manager sends out reports that always look like that. I should ask if we have online friends in common.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

erika, capslock is Rio's gift to all of us. Using capslock is like making out with her even when she isn't here.
I tend to go for the first and second definitions of "myth," but I'm always sort of aware that the third definition is lurking just out of sight. I'm not offended, but because of that lurker it's not my first word of choice. Nowhere near on a par with racism, though.
I keep scanning every site I can find for NOLA news, and I don't know why. It sounds like the wild, despairing Gotham of No Man's Land, only with no Bat to swoop in and pummel some order into the madness. I really need to stop, but I can't. It's like poking a bruise.
I'd much rather contemplate Allyson's pretty hair and hear about Jilli's plots to undo her NGA status.

Good thoughts for Bob and his dad, bon.

Silence means security silence means approval
You are probably not alone in that, but at the same time, there are many people who will focus on the first and second definitions, and will not be offended.
There is a derogatory sense of "myth" in American English that implies that it is an inherently false belief. It's the same problem with "theory" -- in the vernacular it's an unproved idea, but that is not the definition that is normally used in science.

I don't think my expectations are way out of line. I know it takes time to mobilize but the situation has deteriorated exactly because the response has been inadequate and poorly coordinated.
Is it just me, or was the response to the four consecutive hurricanes in Florida much better handled than the response to this one?
I mean, seriously. It feels like the administration, if not the actual manpower on the ground, is sort of standing around, looking at all the devestation, and going "Huh. Well, gosh.... Should we, uh... you know... maybe do something? Or, uh... something? Huh."
