Adding my thanks for having Ginger here. It's so nice to be able to come in and listen to an expert in the field and who also speaks common sense.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Haiti worries me too. It's in such a terrible state still.

Because books.
And I'm grateful to you, too, Ginger. S. was railing yesterday about how he could only find conflicting information, and I was able to point him to everything you've shared.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hyperventilating. I just scheduled an on-air radio interview for a roller derby event. Tomorrow at 8:15 am.
It'll be fun! You'll rock it.
At least Japan has financial resources that Haiti doesn't. The world seems much more apocalyptic than it was when I was growing up. Maybe I wasn't paying attention, and certainly Hurricane Camille caused a lot of damage. But it does seem like there have been much bigger disasters in the last ten years than there were in the first twenty (1961 to 1981) that I was growing up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, you guys! Best thoughts for everyone and families.
Here's kind of a funny thing: I was having dinner with my parents last night, and somehow the topic of this guy they know who may or may not be trans came up. My mother said something about not getting what "feeling like a woman" meant. I told her she needed to unpack her cis privilege. Hee.

The funny thing is that I always advertised myself as the Anti-Hurricane Good Luck Charm. We moved to South Florida in '68 right after the last big hurricane and they didn't have another one until Hurricane David when I was in college.

But did you notice that the hurricane was named after you??????
