We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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

I think this weekend I will be not attending a number of social events.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Taking the train to Idaho, for a week of actual work. For family, so not like really real work, but it is in my field, and I will get paid. Possibly a salary. That's part of my job, figuring out what to pay myself...

Eta: packing right now. Hate packing, thus posting instead

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'm making goodie bags/invitations for the Vroman's gig, finding a new small desk for my place, and going to see a little play.

Shopping for a new camera and either a new phone or just a battery if I can't find any basic cordless models that I like (the 3 doesn't really work, so I just don't call numbers with a three from that phone...) Cleaning at some point, groceries. That sort of thing.

Goddamnit. I was sitting outside and mosquitos bit me right up under my shorts on my sitter. ITCHY.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Working. Homework doesn't start until Monday. Which, amazingly enough, is also the day work turns into sheer hell.

How prevalent is "sit bone" as a common term for ischial tuberosity? I've never heard it used outside the centre, although a quick google suggests it's a biking term.

Speaking of bikes...

Hive mind--what do people know about terrorist watch lists? There is more than one, right? And are they all public? Has anyone had to be checked against ot for employment? Can a civilian check it?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Never heard it, ita. Same thing as tailbone, I guess?

Robin, I'm not sure any of the watch lists are public. My recollection is you mostly find out you're on the TSA one when you get booted off a plane. And I highly doubt we even know about all of them.

I've heard both sit bone and seat bone -- not everywhere, but in enough contexts that people seem to get what's being talked about.
