What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And what did he have against the toddler next door?

Stupid kid didn't pray hard enough, obvs.

Once again, Ginger and I are the same person.

On a lighter note, we have Yvonne, an escaped cow determined to remain free [link]

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I wish I could thank you and your peeps publicly. Is "Anonymous Behind the Scenes GM Employees Who Tried to Rescue Me Despite it Totes Not Being in Their Job Description" okay to thank?

Yeah, and if you want to put together a thank you email, I'll forward it along.

It would be nice to balance the idiots with people that actually tried to do something. I know the company can be dysfunctional, but there are good people working there.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I know the company can be dysfunctional, but there are good people working there.

Wrod. And thanks! I've been drafting a thanks. It's difficult to not be able to name names and say, "yo, these people make shit work. Do as they do."

Without youse guys, I think I would have fallen apart.

I have a former coworker named Yvonne, who wrote (on FB): I am so down with this beast. Among the failed efforts: "Entreaties delivered via animal psychic, who relayed that Yvonne 'didn't feel ready' to return to the world of humans."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Is that the same Yvonne who is also my former coworker? Because it is the first day of the semester over there....

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yay Allyson!

Depending on the type and stage of cancer, I might consider foregoing treatment. After watching Mom deal with chemo for late stage ovarian cancer, I decided I'd probably go for palliative treatment if I were in a similar situation. But I'd tell any partners what was happening. And I wouldn't go with the theory that bee pollen and mega-doses of vitamin C would work in place of cisplatin.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Yay Allison!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, is it weird that I kind of appreciate that I just saw a Domino's ad with a store employee whose gender was ambiguous to me?
