Man, it's been double-post-tastic around this joint today. Has anyone else noticed that?
River: I know you have questions. Mal: That would be why I just asked them.

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!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Huzzah for public squeeage!
Kat, are you still around? Because, if so, please don't add any worry about a thank-you note to me to your to-do list. I got lovely boxes full of pre-loved Buffista baby clothes from several folks here and never wrote formal thank-you notes, so I'd feel like sort of a heel if I got one from you (unless you really enjoy writing them and I'm depriving you of a positive pleasure, in which case write all you like!). I think the main responsibility for the Buffista Baby Clothing Exchange is to pay it forward and pass 'em on to other parents who need them.
And, um, I realize that I have a big bag of boy/gender-neutral stuff for Jess and FoneBone, which I promise will go out soon, probably this Friday.

Here's a webpage for a woman who does genital horoscopes. [link]
Front page is worksafe. Some of the other pages have pencil drawings (eta: and pictures). Oh, and it's in German.
Bable Fish translation of one page:
Genital vintages was in my Georgian homeland a wide-spread technology for predicting future events and as an assistance with difficult decisions, that came to more and more over the centuries into oblivion. The women of my family retained this tradition as it the knowledge from generation to generation passing on. I learned the secrets of these practices of my nut/mother and extended her later, with the knowledge of other ranges, like for example of the Astrologie.
