The Bookpage kids one!
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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've got a totally random "Ask an average hearing person" question, to try to settle a point in my Deaf Culture class: Do you know what the phrases "Deaf President Now" or "Deaf Protest of 1988" refer to, without looking it up?
I've never heard of either thing. I thought it was a misspelling of Def (as in Def Jam), for a minute, given the year.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Ha, I wondered if that's the one you meant!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, they are the thumbnails of the pics I linked to. Balked at reposting verbatim, too lazy to rephrase.
Also, I have a migraine that goes all the way down to my quads right now. It's a joy.

Thanks! I just started handling the newsletter in June, and we just switched to the new layout, so I still feel like I'm learning how to put it all together, but I enjoy doing it -- it keeps me more involved in the kids' side of things, which I like.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Hil, I remember that (but it was local news at the time for me).
ita ! the thumbnails came up - you're insanely glamorous in those! I can understand loving that silvery (looks blue-silver to me) dress. And is that your fancy evening purse?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Hil, I didn't remember ever being aware of a Deaf President Now protest. However, after Googling, it seems vaguely familiar, but I'm not sure whether I knew of it at the time or only later. (It happened about 6 months before I moved to DC.)

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

Yup, this is me.
