I finished my reread of A Clash of Kings.
That pretty much killed my day.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Our farm box had eggplant, tomatoes, cucumbers, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, summer squash, mushrooms, cantalope, peppers, pattypan squash, and sprouts. Nom! We are doing eggplant parmesan tonight.

My garden is just getting started. It's been really rainy and cold, so most things were planted late. I have some spinach up and strawberries are just starting to form. Eta: And the cilantro I grew last year reseeded itself and is going crazy. Everything else are just sprouting seedlings or tiny transplants. Shortest growing season ever!

I wish our CSA combined veggies and fruits. They are separate shares and I am only signed up for veggies.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've been challenged to say why genre TV is decades behind mainstream fiction.
Behind in what way?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Behind in what way?
Integrating minorities as fully-fleshed characters.
But I don't think it is. I think TV is behind life, but genre and mainstream are reasonably even.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
there's an unaired scene [or just unaired in the US?] that addresses it, though, again, without using the actual word
Which scene is that? The guy who was telling me first he was gay was using the "Your date"..."I'm not his date!" scene as ammo, but I didn't see the US cut, so I don't know if that was it.
It was the scene in the restaurant. I'ma have to see if I can find it. When did Sherlock air in the US? Because there were lots of links in the asexual LJ community at that time.

I didn't see the restaurant scene as an indication of asexuality as much as awkward heterosexuality making sure no one gets any ideas. My worldview is pretty binary, though, when it comes to relationships (trinary? MF, MM, FF?) so I don't think to look for all the possible shadings.

Trust my rage
Suzi, are you doing Grant Farms again? I finally found someone to split with (1.2 veggie and 1 fruit each!) but she's doing a migrant walk through the AZ desert and I can't remember when we start.
My church is a drop-off location this year and our cool pastor was cackling over taking over the "most liberal church downtown" title from the church down the block.

as much as awkward heterosexuality
He does explicitly say in that conversation that girlfriends aren't his thing, so heterosexuality is the last Kinsey thing I'd think it confirmed. He does not conversely say that boyfriends are not his thing, just that he has too much on his plate to date so Watson shouldn't think of him that way.
