You TAKE the hamberders. You LEAVE the newspaper!
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

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

Our wings are not tired.
Gudanov, in Natter: (made me snort, fortunately with no snot)
Sorry about all the snot and rage. I'd say take some deep breaths, but, you know, snot.

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

Steph L. : Y'ALL. Those white suits are for them to go into the Quantum Realm, aren't they?
Billytea: Either that or they're preparing to travel back in time... to before Labor Day.

From the wilds of Natter:
shrift: In other news, I think I've discovered the person who's been using my email address as her own, and it's an Australian MP. Is it more or less weird to stalk someone online who's a public figure and yell at them to stop using your email address?
Dana: Well, first question. Can you, using this address, actually govern Australia?

It's funny because we know these are beloved cats.(Giving the stinkeye to interwebs spies.)
Steph: Murderbiscuit will try to carry on Squeaky Fromme's legacy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Let the record show that Tom's steel bladder needed just a little more Venom.

What is even happening?
(Context: Natter)
Steph: Here's an accusation about my editing from an author that I haven't heard before: it's a tiny (2-page) commentary on a big research article, and the author is part of the Department of Defense (the big research article used active military members for their study, so the DoD is involved).
The author of the article said that I made "an unprecedented amount" of changes to her commentary, and it would require a week of new review by the DoD because -- I swear she said this -- "the changes could be damaging to the Department of Defense."
GUYS. YOU GUYS. I think I know how to take down the Trump administration. I'll sneak in through the DoD with my wily editing skillz! (Seriously. My editing to her tiny commentary could be *damaging* to the DoD??? If that's true, our country's military is is grave danger.)
Jessica: Wait Teppy are you saying the key to undoing the damage caused by the 2016 election is...correct punctuation and properly formatted citations? HOLY SHIT BUFFISTAS THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRAINING FOR
Steph: I am dizzy with the power. DIZZY AND READY TO UNLEASH SEMICOLONS UPON THE WHITE HOUSE
Toddson: Are we weaponizing the gerunds?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hil: I can understand not knowing kombucha, but she doesn't know what sauerkraut is?
Jessica: It's like face-blindness, but for fermentation.

Beverly, in Natter:
H and I allowed ourselves to lapse into conversation about the present administration and the malignant preschooler figurehead. After complaining vociferously about how angry I am all the time, I speculated on how much I want footage of him, arms and legs wrapped around his gold toilet on Inauguration Day as the men in white approach with hypos and tasers--"Nonono! I don't have to go! This is mine all mine, you can't make me NOOOO!" I want him hauled out the front door in a straightjacket and a muzzle and loaded into a black van, and never to be seen or heard from again. "I want his memory erased from history, I want his administration removed from the history books, I want his utter existence struck through--"
H intoned, kindly, "You wanna sharpie?"
