Today is Wear An Insect day, BTW.

I need ita to make these pronouncements earlier -- like at 5:00 so I can dress appropriately. Because I have bug clips for me and for Grace. Love the dragonfly pendant. Very beautiful

Baby of Nilly is the happiest, smiliest, most adorablest kid!

Art Crawl!!!

I believe I have dragonfly earrings that I could have worn - had we had more notice.

I'm wearing a cameo today, no insect. This is like playing the lottery. One day I'll get it right!

Anyone who enjoys the Scandinavia and the World comic should look at this immediately. I had to mute my phone very quickly:

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'm wearing my dragon necklace and will choose to believe that it counts. (I wear it every day, but still.)

Baby of Nilly is totally my happy place today.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I have a shirt with dragonfly and flower print ... again, too late to wear today.

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

This is like playing the lottery.

Exactly! Preparation is boooring.

What kind of bugs, Kat?

Oy. I have to present to the business analysts Nov 1. Let me write that down. 45 minutes of me me me over the phone and with a lovely PPT presentation. I haven't given this particular speech in, like, 15 years.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I was actually wearing an amber necklace, which ought to count.

But I felt both ill and grumpy, so I came home.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, in a call-back to an earlier discussion, here's someone arguing for GSM -- gender and sexual minority -- as the term that can include homoromantic asexuals (edit: I MEAN HETERO-), because (this person says) queer does NOT. [link]
