Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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

That's pretty badass, shrift.

I love the idea of the streetfood festival. I generally like the food at fests, and this fest is all food. Perfect. Also, Three Twins might be worth a little pilgrimage. Sounds very yum.

Papa Murphy's sells little tins of sardines, fwtw.

Traveling with stuffed animals is *normal*, right?

It is in my world.

The one straight guy I knew who talked about emotional & relationships stuff with other guys was ... not emotionally well-adjusted. Ever.

shrift, if you own a hacksaw, you are like, 20 bitchiness points up on me. Never mind actually using it to fix something!

IME (with geeky het guys, which maybe is a separate category) they do talk about feelings & relationships with each other. There is more trash-talking than overt sympathizing, but the subject matter is the same.

At the comic shop a couple weeks ago, I eavesdropped (hey, it's a small shop!) on a long conversation between the owner & two other guys about how A had just broken up with his GF, and what was up with B, and then there was a fairly scathing analysis of of C (who wasn't there) and his unrealistic romantic aspirations.

It made me miss college.

I shall be impressed with myself, then!

I do have a hacksaw, but I don't think I own a drill, and I may need one when I buy and install a new bi-fold door to the laundry room.

shrift with a drill. Wearing leather pants. Installing a bi-fold door.

meara, you were looking for a saucy butch, right?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Semi-skimmed. Lots of interesting stuff today!

Still trying to survive this heatwave. Tomorrow I get to "survive" it while standing in line at the DMV.

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

I don't think it's a heatwave. I think it's summer.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

This totally disturbed me, and therefore, I must share it. Woman paints herself having sex with each US president. Still a work in progress, as she's only gotten up to Grant. [link] NSFW.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG. It is POURING out. I should be glad that it's only rained for my commute a couple of days in the past three months (although I guess I should be sad, because it means a drought), but holy crap. I took the T instead of walking, which didn't save any time, but was less outside, and I am still soaked!
