I put on my favorite purple sweater today and had no idea what day it was until I got to my mom's and saw Facebook and LJ. Serendipity.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So who has heard of "LGTBQA"? I am so far behind the PC-times
From a letter to Sullivan:
One of your readers notes that they have encountered "LGTBQA" as an acronym. I used to work for a Diversity-focused office at UC Berkeley, where political correctness gets chewed up and turned into guidelines. The acronym we had to use? LGBTIQQAA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual, Intersex, Queer, Questioning, Asexual, Ally). When I left my employment there, they were having meetings about tacking on a "P" for Pansexual, another "P" for Polyamory, and an "I" for something I can't even recall.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I just got dressed. Unfortunately, I don't own a purple t-shirt in my entire collection. But my heart's there.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I went to do some volunteer work at the building site for the new, local children's museum. I banged my thumb with a hammer hanging drywall.
I am not cut out for construction work. But we managed to get an entire room finished.

Regarding
LGBTIQQAA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual, Intersex, Queer, Questioning, Asexual, Ally)
I've defined myself as five of these at different times in my life. Also, they totally need to add "NGA" to the list. (OK, maybe not.)

I've seen some reference inside the LGTBAQ community locally mockingly refer to the endless addition of letters as "QUILTBAG."
Which is most of the same letters rearranged.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I like QUILTBAG for pronouncability and inclusiveness, but I'm not 100% sure what the U stands for.
