Trust my rage

So, is healthcare reform really dead? That makes me want to cry.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Seriously, Stephanie? This is ridiculous!

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

unless writers decide to charging other fans to read online content, I'd say renumeration is just not forthcoming.

But that's been done, or at least tried--does it make it not fic anymore? If you write the story about uncopyrighted work does that make it not fic? Or is it intent or actuality of profit?

Trust my rage

Well, I heard someone say that Brown's win means HCR is dead. But I thought they passed bills? But maybe they needed another vote to harmonize the differences or something.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Ugh. Did Brown actually win? That's depressing.

I have no opinion on fic beyond I like some of it in certain fandoms by certain writers... and I wouldn't say I'm an avid fic reader.

I have a PD tomorrow and I'm as ever unprepared.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But I thought they passed bills?

Yes.

But maybe they needed another vote to harmonize the differences or something.

Yes. (Probably.) Although there are various trick they could use to get around the Brown issue....

Because books.

I ... have no answers for that, because I haven't thought about it. Bueller?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think the theory is, they'd have to vote on the final bill that comes out of conference, and without 60 votes, the Republicans will filibuster it to death -- or even just the threat of that will make Dems fold. Because the Democratic party is sofa king LAME.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If the Dems are that pitiful, I'll, I don't know what 'll do, but I'll be very angry.

Nails look like they were cut with pinking shears

God, it'd be annoying to have nails like that.
