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?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

then there are the people who hate "BigPharma" because they are only about profit and money and then turn around and spend tons of money on fake treatments.

And let's not forget that fake medicine is also a billion-dollar industry. It turns out you can make a lot more money when you don't have to prove that your products actually do anything. (Or, in the case of homeopathy, when the whole point is to guarantee that your products contain nothing at all.)

Allyson, your car! Yay! BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE INTERWEBS!

Thrive to spite them

And it's not just fake supplements it's also fake gadgets. Like Zappers, EMF protectors. Miracle things that make your water "forget" it's water memory.

Hah! I've seen that ad, and was quite pleased.
