Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

Santa Fe is really very pretty, meara. Obviously, it's not West Coast cool or anything, but it is close.

I can definitely send you to a few bars wherein the bartenders are awesome (and have Fernet).

Excellent! Er...who's in Eugene? Depending on what the story is, I may just fly in and out of there in the same day, or I may spend the night, who knows. Or maybe I can hook it in with my Portland visits, who knows?

I'm using the white whole wheat flour,

that's kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? Wacky!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Er...who's in Eugene?

Somebody newish? I think?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm listening to this story on transgender kids

Wow. I just keep thinking, how awful for the kid whose parents and therapist are forcing him to give up everything "girl"-related -- he's growing up being told by literally everyone that, at his very core, he is fundamentally *wrong.*

That's heart-breaking.

Yeah. I ought to look up what this stuff actually is. All I can figure out from the package is that it's got the whole grain in it, and that it's not bleached. It's darker than all-purpose flour but not as dark as regular whole wheat flour.

OK, the Mayo Clinic website tells me that white whole wheat flour is made from albino wheat.

I want to smack that therapist so hard right now. That poor, poor kid.

I would have been fine with any gender identity for Lillian. A bit baffled that she's so Aggro Girl, but if she'd wanted to dress in jeans and a tee shirt, play with trucks 24/7, and have us call her our son Liam, I'd have done it in a heartbeat.
