I don't get how -40°C isn't devastatingly cold--isn't it about the same as Fahrenheit?
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah. -40 is the one temp that's exactly the same for F and C.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Liu, she said, typically tells them to retake their seats and to call him John after the first formal greeting each day.
That's even more bonkers. Every day he tells people they can call him John??
And msbelle, I said my prior comment so maybe you don't have to have that as an added to-do item, unless there's something distinctly wrong with the afterschool place.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Holy crap, that's narcissistic!

Oh, I forgot to mention the Very Buffista Book I got for Christmas -- it's called Literally, the Best Language Book Ever. It's about pet peeves.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
This is a guy that shows up at more unnecessary photo ops than Chuck Schumer and always tried to have a hand in political things that didn't involve his district or constituency. Liu transparently wants to be mayor. Nice start on that, Mr. Comptroller!

Holy carp, y'all. Old Navy had some super cheap clearance prices, so last night I ordered a bunch of exercise clothes and colorful underpants ($1.49/pair!), and they've shipped already.
I guess the universe really wants me to give yoga a try. And to rock some sassy pants.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
His afterschool is ridic unstructured and my guess chaotic. Last year, yes things got bad at afterschool also, but he wasn't on meds then and it was centered on the end of school. This all feels much more generalized. He needs to be in specialized care actually, but there is precious little of that in NYC.

Miep Gies, who helped hide Anne Frank, dies at 100
Gies refused to read the papers, saying even a teenager's privacy was sacred. Later, she said if she had read them she would have had to burn them because they incriminated the "helpers."
That's some pretty powerful stuff.
