I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

What is even happening?

What is that site, Spidra? I don't recognize the url and am afraid to click.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

It's the site for our local Pacifica radio station, KPFA. So if it's blocked (and it's the ONLY site my co-workers and I have ever tried to visit that's been blocked), it's being blocked for political reasons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Get off the internet, Allyson, and get writing.

Tell the scientists to stick it.

Allyson, you're going to rock this. Go write. We have nothing to say. You used to know this.

And now you can answer those requests with "Suck it, bitch!"

Totally. "Oh, it's important, is it? More important than [CEO's name]? That's right, spanky, I didn't think so."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I have to work! I have two days to finish it all. I don't know how this is gonna happen. I'm a mess.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

GET OFF THE INTERNET, TELL YOUR BOSSES YOU ARE SICK, GO HOME AND WRITE!

Also, Yay!
