Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Too meta?

Too meta?

Brilliant. They'd only be too meta if the metal chairs on the fabric had cushions with a chair pattern ad infinitum.

Our wings are not tired.

Hey, if anyone here has ever considered permanent make-up for their eyebrows, this is what mine look like one week after application.

I am really happy. Scarring in my yout had made for problematic eyebrows and I was sick of the expense and hassle of "doing them" every day. Plus, it made me hesitant to exercise in public (much less, swimming!).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

They look great. And so do you!

They are much more subtle and natural than I was expecting.

Thanks Scrappy. I can't get over how natural they look.

And I've now decided to get the mole by my nose zapped too. Down by my mouth, you can see the remains of a mole I had zapped last Saturday. I was okay with the one by my nose, until I went back and looked at photos from 5 years ago; the mole has doubled in size since then! I want to zap it before it takes over my nose and I can't breathe anymore.

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

I'm totally being stalked. There's this woman who I bumped into every time I used the elevator yesterday, and some extra times besides. I don't know who she is or in which department she works.

Today she's in the restroom when I am AND SHE SAYS HI TO ME. Whut? No speaking!

I am with you on that. I loathe bathroom talk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nice brows, javachik! I had an eyebrow-grooming mishap the other day, so I guess I'm glad that I have so much brow to work with...

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

A co-worker was drying her hands after I headed over to the sinks to wash mine, and I had to coo over her baby in the stroller (she popped in to visit the office) and ask the usual new baby questions.
