Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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 got the facebook love this morning as well.

I wonder what it was about us attracted Gus to begin with. Were we giving off a particular rube-vibe?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Jess, that reminds me I sort of have a work question for you. Will insend.

Because books.

so I have no idea where this is coming from

Maybe now that Aeryn is REAL, and he's that much older, he just wanted to know if more babies would be forthcoming. I love his worry. Cutiehead.

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

"But Mommy, WHAT IF AERYN GROWS UP?!?!?!!!"

"Then it will be your turn to make the babies, honey!" (No? Too soon?)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

at which point he got very concerned and asked "But Mommy, WHAT IF AERYN GROWS UP?!?!?!!!"

It might be as well to have a contingency plan in place.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

But Mommy, WHAT IF AERYN GROWS UP?!?!?!!!"

Heeeee!

I want bacon cheese egg cups. I actually have the ingredients, but I'd have to have the energy to go make them. Breathing =/= energy. Plus, I'm kinda on a roll with some work stuff.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I also LOVE BREATHING! I do it, like, every day.

I also have the other thing in common, but I don't really care.

I skipped work today all wiped out post-vacation, and the SO got nearly there and the wagon overheated again. So. Guess we need to get that in the shop.

Oh, I must go to this: [link]

And maybe I'll bring my daughter. The DH will be in Sri Lanka, so his loss.

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

For some reason, I now have two co-workers whose wives send me Jamaica-related food. My first reflex is to assume I'm exceptionally pathetic, but my second reflex is "Gimme!" and my third is "Thanks!"

I now have dried jackfruit. I didn't even know that was a thing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hooray for breathing! I am always in favor of that one.

Aw, Dylan. What if, indeed!
