From what I can see, we'll be paying between $2-4K and have to have a home study and the whole fucking thing. So my wife can parent her own fucking child. OMG I'm ready to beat someone.
Hang on, I'll bring my cricket bat. That is BEYOND offensive.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have had a Good Day
Awesome. And hey, I had a Good Day myself. I vote for more days like it.
However --
No more days like this to Stephanie and GC. Seriously. Or this year's going on The List.

That is BEYOND offensive.
OMG yes it is. GOD! I would like to participate in a beatdown about this myself.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I know it's piss-poor little, GC, but tonight I'm going to an interfaith pro gay marriage with ALL civil rights included service in San Francisco, part of a small but hopefully growing statewide movement to give people of faith a safe space to make some noise about disagreeing with their church hierarchies, let them know where to find the hierarchies that are on their side, and prod everyone into some positive activism. I so hope my own depression and kid-having responsibilities don't derail me from getting seriously involved, because you and your DW and the Glambaby, and all the GCs and DWs and babies across the country, deserve no less.
Info on events around the state today and tomorrow is here.

A beatdown! Yay!
... anyone needs a girl who can use an M-16?

JZ, you're awesome. And loved.
That is all.

Now tagless for your comfort.
GC, that really is bullshit. Friends of just did the 2nd parent adoption in Indiana. Which was just really awesome because their son is 14 and he wanted both his moms to be "legal." (JR is J's from a previous marriage.) I had no idea it was such an expensive, invasive process to go through.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Is so not piss-poor little, JZ. I'm so thankful to have allies in this battle. Visibility is really important.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
(((GC and DW))). This is not something you should have to deal with. I'm so sorry.

Our wings are not tired.
I am pissed beyond belief at the way our society craps all over parenthood. Two days of maternity leave? That's an insult. And GC's wife having to PAY MONEY to legally be the parent to her own child? I am there for whatever beat down is necessary. And I also vote.
