Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(Umm, oops? Your statement really did look like you were talking about you, so I figured you meant to say something... I'm really sorry if I outed you before you were ready for an announcement!)

Trust my rage
no it's totally fine. it really did look like I was talking about myself. I laughed when I re-read it because I'm already in the "only eating stops the nausea" phase.
(It's weird - if I came here and intentionally announced it, I'd feel really dumb if I lost the baby later. Not that people *should* feel that way, but I'd be mad at myself for celebrating when I should have been more cautious. But since you sort of pushed me, the responsibility of being overly happy/hopeful is gone. Does that make sense to anyone but me?)

Man, it's been double-post-tastic around this joint today. Has anyone else noticed that?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Congrats, Stephanie!
ION, the New Horizons spacecraft swung past Jupiter on Feb 28th on its way to Pluto. So it took a bunch of Jovian pictures.
What's cool to me is some of the pictures were taken for artistic reasons, such as this one [link] that shows Europa behind Jupiter. Cool!

Congratulations again, Stephanie!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Does that make sense to anyone but me?
Absolutely.
And?
SQUEEE!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yay, Stephanie!

Oh yeah, and congratulations to you Stephanie!
(Man, some days they shouldn't even let me out on a day pass. Me, among the humans, can you believe it...)
