"When Bush got elected I cried because I was afraid he'd ruin the nation's water supply. So...kind of a failure of imagination there."
Yeah, that was a funny and very sad statement....
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Those are some excellent WTF double-takes. Those babies look so betrayed.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Babies eating lemons is comedy gold. I love babies eating lemons again, and being traumatised again. It's a synopsis of the human condition.
I think my skirt is too short.
Ah, well.
I once sent a clip of a baby laughing to a friend and he went postal and told me he'd never talk to me again if I sent him anything else with babies in it because he hated them. It was kinda...kinda scary. I get not loving them, but hating them seems a lot of work.
We're out of ice. I'm sad.
What would you rather be doing right now than what you're doing right now? I'd initially thought the answer was "drawing" but it turns out to be "not having a headache" on not much further introspection.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I just sent that to my friend who sent me the mini-crossbows link with the comment that we should start a mini-army.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
What would you rather be doing right now than what you're doing right now?
A NAP PLEASE GOD. (Thanks to the wrath-of-god storms last night that turned out to be not so wrath-y, I got about 4 hours' sleep. I almost feel drunk from sleep dep right now.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Not having a headache is my answer too, but I'm pretty sure the headache level isn't.
Sleeping is also pretty high up there.

What would you rather be doing right now than what you're doing right now?
Well, eating pie with Dean Winchester's on the list. Sitting on a balcony restaurant in Santorini, sipping wine and watching the sea is also there.
But, honestly, what I'm doing now (sitting on my sofa and doing my job while House reruns play in the background) is pretty good.

I'm pretty sure that, when it comes to Roe v Wade, it's already too late to save it. I think it's South Dakota... there is one clinic IN THE ENTIRE STATE where one can get an abortion. I'm guessing there are wide swaths through other states where abortion is pretty much inaccessible as well.
