God, Kat. I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry this is such a fucked up system for you to have to navigate.
Also since I'm awake and spamming, Fables of the Reconstruction is 25 years old!
Oh boy. Now I do, too.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

The status is NOT quo.
Fuck, Kat. It all makes me so angry on your behalf I could scream. Is there anything we, collectively, can do? Any of our lawyer types have ideas?

Thanks, Hil, it will be mine.
Now I just need the QC Baking is Science for Hungry People apron to be available again. Since asking for things has worked out so well for me tonight.

They did a 25th anniversary reissue of Fables (out today!). When I lived in Brussels one of my friends LOVED R.E.M. and would busk and sing Driver 8. I cannot hear Driver 8 and not think about that time.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It seems to be available here, -t.

The Live Aid thing is even a bigger whoa.
I'm in the middle of a MAJOR REM reconnection. I did a presentation today where I started with Tourfilm's version of I Believe and I can't get part of the song out of my head.

Hate that such a mess has engulfed you, Kat. It's so obviously not right in so many ways!

That's the shirt, I want the apron {there is fine print foiling me}, Zen. Maybe if I got an enormous shirt I could use it like an apron?
