Brazil, WTF?
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I think Cashmere doth protest too much.
Two much?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mother conjures an image of a female person.
To me, mother conjures an image of a female person with offspring (biological or no). Without ever having had offspring, not a mother. So being their mother is not a leap at all. Said female person is not *my* mother. I am offspring of just the one female person. And I think that's a perfectly meaningful distinction.
My womanhood has no relationship to anyone else. It's not dependent on anything. But I can only be a mother if there is offspring involved. And I will only be that offspring's mother.

Maybe in addition to nuclear weapons, North Korea has also been developping soccer players?

I wonder if Brazil will adjust in the second half and come out stronger.

And, in wrong-headed grocery news, my aunt once told me about looking all over the store's produce section for phyllo (filo?) leaves.

Gah, I hate my water bill so much. This is how it breaks down:
City of Oakland Sewer Service: $44.48
Wastewater Treatment Charge: $21.96
SF Bay Residential Pollution Prevention: $0.40
Water Service Charge: $20.26
Seismic Improvement Program Surchage: $3.80
Water Usage Charge: $4.00
Total: $94.90
Are all water bills like this, or is EBMUD just ridiculous? Why I am continually paying for sewer service and wastewater treatment? I thought that's what taxes were for.
