Thanks, Nora! Honestly, I wouldn't know where to start right now, but maybe soon.
Nice article, flea. I made the mistake of reading the comments, though. When will I learn?
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
NC is an "at will" state. You can be legally fired for breathing in the wrong key if your boss feels like it.
So is California.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Glamcookie, it's only 3 hours or so to Columbia from the Triangle, NC. My dad's family lives in Columbia and my parents live in Raleigh, and they make that trip all the time. Out of the two states, I think the Triangle is your best bet for a welcoming community. Many of the larger companies/institutions include sexuality in their EEO policies, and some do offer health insurance and other benefits to same sex partners, including a couple of town governments. I think the Triangle also offers much more diversified employment possibilities than anywhere in SC - tech companies, government and non-profits, large universities, etc.
Man, I am shilling hard for a place I don't live anymore.

yeah, a lot of states are--but they can't fire you due to religion, etc--or gayness if that's protected. Now, usually you can't prove that, but...

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Here is your moment of levity from my workplace (apologies to anyone who already saw it on FB):
A coworker is talking to a guy about some goats he bought from a breeder in Washington, so all this starts out as overhearing 1/2 of a conversation:
"Who has herpes?"
"The goats have herpes?"
"and your dogs have herpes?"
"how do you think the dogs got the herpes?"
(facepalm)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
hivemind question: is there another (non-mythological) example of a large all-female fighting force besides the Dahomey?

Amazons
oops, largely mythological

The internet is telling me there's not enough historical evidence to support the existence of the amazons.

When I was trying to remember the Dahomey this was the first name I came up with.
