You're definitely off the beaten track, but make up a new word and just let queer mean homo/bi/pan. The are lots of words. We definitely don't have to share all of them, even to march under the same banner.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
All the definitions are confusing. I'll just go with a quote from Funkadelic. "Yeah we all got a thang, and it's a very good thang."
Chicagoistas! Anyone want to see a play Friday? [link] I can get 4 tix. Let me know. (email - I may not be able to keep up here during tech)
Also... Shrift and Brenda (and anyone else downtownish), I could probably meet up for dinner sometime this week or next.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
it's complicated.
Online, I feel like it's frequently more about scoring points in Oppression Olympics than anything else. Being straight is a huge liability when you're trying to prove your marginalized cred on Feministe. (@@@@@@)

So I'm filling in for the receptionist at my aunt's office for the rest of the week. It's the easiest job in the world, but I'm a bit puzzled by the layout. All I have to do is answer the phone and forward it to the right person - but the phone isn't on the desk. You have to rocket backwards about two feet and do a full 180 to answer the phone, which is on a tiny little table. I basically just think it's funny.
Aurelia, I'm nowhere near Chicago, but I've heard excellent things about "Red". So enjoy!

Because books.
So ... what is on the desk, zuisa?
We're very quiet this morning. And my massage got postponed so I'm pouting.

This ancient computer. That's it. But there'd be nowhere else to sit, so... yeah. I think they also want me facing the elevator in case visitors come in? Which they don't. But no one really calls, either. Half the people who supposedly work here still aren't in, and it's almost 11:00. The whole place is just a mystery.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I would love to, but I'm actually going to be in Bloomington on Friday. Boo!!!!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Is it a mob front? It sounds like a mob front. Or some sort of super-secret, quasi-governmental organization. Oooh, let's go with that.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Or a place that's in the process of going out of business (unless everyone's working from home).
