Halloween night this year my sister and I ran into some girls in Walgreen's or somewhere who were hooched out in a way that made that look tame. Ew.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
who the hell would let their daughter wear this?
I teach the girls who wear this sort of thing. For school, they mostly stay in the dress code, or have figured out ways to "work around it". It's when they go out or dress for special occasions that this sort of thing appears.
If I were to show them the photo, many of them would declare it "too cute" and discuss where they would wear this sort of thing.
All I can say is...you should see some of the parents. Plenty of them see nothing wrong with this sort of thing and will buy it for their daughters.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Has anyone gotten the postcards I sent while I was on vacation? I ask because I just got an email from my friend in Houston saying he just got his yesterday.

I did! It got here sometime before x-mas. If I didn't say yay about it here, I meant to.

Huh. That's quite the time difference.

I got mine about a week ago and I suck for not saying so! It's on my fridge!!

That's so weird. So Chicago takes about a month. SF a month and a half and Houston almost 2. Ok, so when I go to Sydney, we need to try this with a bunch more cities and judge the time difference.
ETA: YOU DO NOT SUCK!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Anyone here a chess player?
I'm writing a scene where a semi-expert is playing with/teaching a novice. What are some things the semi-expert might do to even things out a little? Like, could he let the novice make some extra moves at the beginning of the game or something?

No. Never. What era? Because different strategies happen in different eras - depending on who came up with them.
So if this is one of your 19th century scenarios, the standard chess openings would be different than the ones that happened in the mid 20th century.
