You must have some experience in this sort of thang, Julie.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nice post, Julie. Thanks.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Can we COMM that post, taking out proper names? Can we add it to the FAQ?

Love you, Julie.
And I'm terribly tempted to change my tag to an abbreviated bit:
The four hundred pound Buffista elephant: It’s big and it’s wearing pink gingham and it’s caring a PORN sign.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
What time is it over there?
edit: cool, cos now I can mention that today is the 257th anniversary of the last battle fought in the UK: the Battle of Culloden Moor was fought on this day, in 1746.

I've been to Culloden. It's an eerie place. At least, it is when it's cold, foggy, and misty.

The bronze gloves are indeed all over Porter station. And they're partly there to discourage skateboarders from trying to go down the aisle between the escalators (it's steep and long, with no braking space after).
I never thought of doing that. I hope I get to do it in a videogame someday. Some Buffy fan should put a bronzed mummy hand in the station to spook people who take the same train every day.
I have had posters get angry with me and have had to apologize for thoughtless things but that just meant I needed to be more thoughtful of other people and what I was trying to communicate.
If this can happen to scrappy, whose online persona is to helpful and thoughtful what Trudy's is to porn, it can happen to anyone. (But there's really something wrong with the world, if this happens to scrappy.)
every time they press post message, they are telling the community something about themselves. Most people want that to be a positive message.
Except that I could swear Theodosia is trying to convey something on the lines of "Puny mortal! I will be the instrument of your doom." Maybe it's just me.

I do meaningless paper pushing work. Really. It’s what I’m good at. I’ve the skills and talents to do it well, but in the big picture scheme of things? It doesn’t contribute.
Huh!
It is about reading the thoughts and feelings and opinions of those posting around you and respecting them.
Julie, after that last beautifully written and expressed post, I think your skills and talents are exactly what you should be proud of.

It's always cold, foggy and misty in Culloden.
Julie, you expressed a lot of important things very eloquently in that post. Thank you.

Well said, Julie.
