Two days after defending its plans to give out super-hero capes to the unemployed, Central Florida's workforce development board has killed the controversial public-relations effort

W.T.F?

Tep, there was a Homicide episode about that very topic. Since I've seen other crime dramas be all "Look at the freaks," about the same material, it has given me even more respect for it, too.(well, one guy does talk about the initial vic and the "car-phone freaks" but we all know he's a dick.) Ironically, I can't really watch it anymore since Adrienne Shelly was murdered and the character says to Bayliss "If it happens to me, it's good to know you'll be out there." But I still love that last shot. Lisah, what a sad story.

I would argue that places that are sketchy when we are in our early 20s are much more dangerous for a 17-year-old.

Oh, for sure. I can just remember being that age and the environment seeming normal to me. I can just imagine that Phylicia's sister might not have thought she was putting her sister into harm's way. (If whatever happened to Phylicia is connected to a person who came through the apartment. It sounds like they don't really know.)

I want to smack the shit out of Jezebel commenters.

I didn't read the comments. I guess I shouldn't?

May I show Tim?

Sure! And thanks! It was a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure I'm going to draw more. I need to work more on how the bondee looks. He's too comfortable in that shot.

Brenda: [link] Good luck and godspeed.

Wow. I don't know what to think about the girl with the baby bump. That takes a lot of conviction. I certainly could never do it. But I'm not sure what I'd learn.

I'm trying to work out what Fleshbot's Porn for Straight Girls point is (if I have to tell you that's NSFW, I don't know what I've been teaching you all these years). If IO9 suddenly busted out with a sci fi for chicks or Jezebel with a gossip for guys, it would be weird. Women and straight women might not be their primary audience, but they're already there, no? On top of that, what unifying requirement do we have out of porn that's not being satisfied by the rest of their articles?

Wow. I don't know what to think about the girl with the baby bump.

I'm impressed by her dedication and thoughtfulness, and at seventeen. The experiment isn't without some pitfalls, but she seems like a girl who's going to do some interesting things.

she seems like a girl who's going to do some interesting things.

Yeah, for something that could be strewn with a lot of problems, she seems to have gone into it pretty thoughtfully, and for thoughtful reasons. It can't have been easy or fun. I certainly wasn't doing anything as interesting at her age, for good or ill.

The one thing I learned in the comments is that every senior in Washington is expected to complete a six-month project of some kind, which seems far beyond anything I was doing at that age, regardless of what the project actually is.
