Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Oh man, just found out that one of the gals I work with - the one back east that I trained with earlier this year - needs family bubble wrap. Both her mother-in-law and a brother-in-law had heart attacks within 48 hours of eachother - the BIL while he was helping the FIL after the MIL's heart attack.

Geeeesh world. Quit it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Aww. The evening librarian in NY sent me a little bag filled with Christmas wrapped candy, and I assume she sent them to everyone on the library staff, and I can hear biglibrarybossman's eyes rolling in a genial but slightly grinchy way from here.

eta: Eesh, Suzi. I hope they are okay.

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

We have happy meal wednesday here.

I just had chicken mcnuggets.

Also, I'm in big trouble. Agent wants me to send draft of next book, but it's actually pretty terrible. I won't even send stuff to be beta read.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Did it have ham in it?

Ew. No. It was a cakey, chocolate covered Entenmann's donut.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Here's my uni's fugly library.

My uni's is fuglier.

Fortunately, we have some gorgeous buildings to make up for it:

And while this isn't the prettiest building on campus, it's by far the prettiest building I've ever worked in: [link]

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

I had Greek chicken.

I am very cold.

When they charge you more for white meat is it increased volume? Perceived quality?

So cold. Please send me a space heater. And make me stop eating this Nestle Crunch. It's nasty.

Actually, that's the easy bit. I'll stop eating the bad chocolate bar, you guys just send me heat.

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 always thought it's just plain old supply and demand....

Unless my count is off, there are as many pieces of white as dark. I can't work out if a piece of white has more volume of meat, though. I can't imagine it's considerable, but I always order dark given a choice because that's where the flavour lives.

My impression is that overall, more people prefer white meat.
