Thanks, Steph. That's what I thought, but I lost the thread there for a minute.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Y'all have been funny/informative talkymeat today!
Check Your Head for BB's fave, btw, on nostalgic merits alone.
I got a lot of work done today, and had a great meeting with a friend of mine who has gone to 3/4 time at her job and has launched her own graphic design biz. But I knew a lot of stuff and was able to offer advice, and that felt great! I have learned SO MUCH in the last 2 1/2 months!
Also, she is doing design work for me, and I proof her copy. SCORE! Take that, stock photos that I don't really love!
Also, my mom wants me to find a pot lid holder at IKEA. We have NO IKEA in KC, and she has the catalog. MOM. Search the website.

Oh, I read about that. I don't hold SRB responsible personally, but that's why I'd like a start over, even at her expense. Even IF she didn't know about it personally, it is endemic to the current political sphere. I'd like to clean house, even if it means a steep learning curve. There's a lot of incestuous shit in city business. And a lot of broken going unchallenged.

Yeah, exactly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does heteromantic require asexuality? I thought there was an axis of romance, and one of sexuality, so most people==heteromantic heterosexual, but you could also be heteromantic homo/pan/demi/asexual. That the two aren't related.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'd bet that they would correlate, though I don't know how strongly. Most people would, I think, assume that heterosexual implies heteroromantic, but that's certainly a privileged assumption.

When it comes to sexuality, my brain tries to keep up, then just flops and goes "I like guys. I like guys who like guys. May you like who you like in peace, and please don't startle the cat."

The person I saw outraged was a heteromantic asexual, but I was thinking she was or wasn't queer on the strength of the aceness.
Also, she defined straight as requiring being cisgender. Oh. But I think of my FTM cousin as straight, because he married a woman. It just seemed respectful. He's just not cis. Does that mean he's queer? QUILTBAG, maybe, but not queer.

You don't like guys who like girls?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That's how I understood it.
