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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have so been there. But thankfully not with needles or lasers in my eye.
Oh, I just realized I should have been reciting the "Fear is the mind killer" thing from Dune to myself. Except that might have led to picturing the movie, which would lead to giggling....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
From Allyson's link:
You blog about how it's effecting you, what you might witness, rumours or news that you hear, and so on.
Affecting! (right?!?!)
Yikes, Tommyrot! Although, I think my worse eye is like 20/200, and I do OK.
Doesn't her character being gay risk highlighting and underlining the stereotype? So manly that she does women?
Yeah, I don't know -- she's pretty much a bad-ass dyke. But pretty!

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

Made me think of Clockwork Orange. Although the better movie, not necessarily the better thought. Sounds like a travail, but hopefully one for the better.
Jesse--totally affecting.
I'm not going to the ER this week. Which means, if I do go to the ER, it obviously didn't happen.
I may need better coping mechanisms.

Phew.
ION, the combination of my friend having Trouble At Home, and her boss in his last week or two at that job meant that he gave her the OK to expense our drinks etc. tonight! Sweet. I should have ordered more food.

I have found the touch that makes my roast recipe go from merely excellent to perfection: royal fig jam spread along the sides of the meat as a marinade after the first phase of cooking . It was an effort of will to only eat a quarter of the dish tonight and save some to try out on my chef friend tomorrow.
Dana, you also forgot the concerned fundamentalist outsiders who worry that Harry Potter (not, perhaps, getting that he's a fictional character) is leading The Children into practicing wizardry vs. the Victoria Bitters types who cheer him on while he does so (similarly challenged in discerning the difference between fiction and real life). KRZY deathmatch!

Art Crawl!!!
I've never thought about whether or not that Jackie woman is confirming or rejecting stereotypes: the ads for that show are so obnoxious I cannot imagine watching it on purpose.
