OMG OMG OMG.
I am making the world's yummiest carnitas right now. The shredded pork just went into the oven to crisp. I had a bite to test it out and OMGWTFYUM. If DH doesn't get home soon I may eat the entire batch by myself.
Yeah... That went well.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I know I rant about this every year but really? trees? Okay, pretty trees, I agree, but worth your life or the lives of innocent motorists? Not really!! No, seriously, not really worth it!!
And also, pretty visible from the sidewalk! Where you won't cause a traffic accident!

Seriously!
The whole, 'it's just one' phenomenon nearly fomented a battle with my visitor two weeks ago. When I huffed at her for ripping off some forsythia and another bloom, she actally shot back "Bite me." I very nearly did.
What IS it that makes otherwise sane people feel like it's okay to tear up a living thing, or to throw their rubbish on the ground?
"It's just one."
I wish I had a better retort than stunned indignation.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
You cannot change that person's mind, DJ. A good stint of living outta their car might do the trick, but even then, people can be weirdly stubborn.
Yeah. There's this other guy who's a regular at the DMN's blog who seems to get what life can do to people having been through it himself. But the original board member who posted and this other guy are all "Get rid of your cell phone and cable! No luxuries for you! Take public transport!" Which, lessee, at best turns my 20 min commute into an hour and 10 minutes and still includes a half mile walk. I can't imagine what it would be like for someone who can't afford to live in our increasingly gentrified urban center.
ETA: also, did you get my email? Nothing urgent, just giving you an update on the "Why can't the whole site be in one content doc" situation.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
DJ: I did get it, and I duly eyerolled at your dude. Some self-important people...
