You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Plei is a HUGE Esperanto dork. Like, tutorial apps on her phone -level dork. It makes me giggle a lot.

How did I not know Esperanto's not dead? There's novels and clubs and free tutorials. Neat!

Yeah, I totally still do chisenbop. It's pretty...how can I use a word other than handy here?

of course. I do sometimes hide my hands under the table because I'm embarassed to be seen 'counting on my fingers'.

I figure it just looks like I'm fidgeting. I haven't been busted yet. Though I'm pretty sure I get a fairly dumb look on my face while I do it.

Same here. It's a great way to keep count if you don't have another way to make a tally.

On the other hand I'm very proud of the dorky way I tie my shoes and I will show it off at any opportunity.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Jilli, there are a great many people who care dearly for you and have likely wished they could do something, anything to help you during these last couple months, and this will be a way for them to feel useful. It's as much for them as it is for you.
This. Jilli, hon, you have a ton of people who know you and like you, and lots of people like to help out people they know, rather than large organizations. If people don’t want to help, or can’t, that’s great. But if they can, even say 25 people sending $5 is $125. That’s some payment for your dad, plus the feeling that some people in the world are still kind and thoughtful. That can be better than gold when you are feeling shitty. Like I posted for my friends, who no one here even KNOW, and with the money some people sent, they can pay a utility bill or a week’s groceries. With the monies our good friends have collected, they can make a mortage payment for a month or a hospital bill.
Happy potential news. It's really only all open an optional and nothing's written even in pixels and all, but after asking about my plans for next year, I've been told today by a leader in an international feminist network that I may want to send my resume there. There (well, the headquarters), btw, is Montreal.
WOO, Shir! Luck to you! I am mostly making funding applications for next year. I would so appreciate some funding~ma.
Funding-ma, Seska!
Thanks for all the positive comments, guys. It really helps to have a place to vent.
