Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I have a lot of old miserable people in my life- I'm jealous of y'all!

left wind causes

I read this and thought "isn't wind power pretty left wing already? Geez!" and then realized it was a typo for left wing. Doh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My aforementioned grandmother is fairly sick of things (especially since she can't read anymore), but she still volunteers at the hospital every week!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'd be very happy to have my paternal grandfather's quality of life at 80. I'm dreading having my mom's quality of life at 74. Tithonus was a pretty good parable for framing the hope for a long life carefully.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, my god, self, do not read the comment thread on Consumerist when the subject is a business insulting fat people. YOU KNOW BETTER.

Punishingly Intricate

Oh, my god, self, do not read the comment thread on Consumerist when the subject is a business insulting fat people.

Oh! I bet I know what story that is. The cake company?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

How else are people going to express their disgust at the fat people who just can't control their eating and aren't healthy and a drain on society and worse than lepers? Stop persecuting people, Dana. Sheesh.

Which, of course, is to say -- you know better, sillyhead!

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

Clothes women like that men hate.

I dislike most of these clothes myself (no opinions on headbands--the male reasons given for hating them drive me up the wall, and I don't care one way or another about gladiator sandals, and I like tuxes).

At least the article leads with the presumption that it's advice for women trying to impress men with their clothes, not all women.

Cupcake, yeah.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
