Skipping to the end to announce: the bees are installed.
HELLO, BEES!
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And huh, I am surprised to hear Daughters of Bilitis with an eee sound in the middle.
"Beee-litis"? That's how I pronounce it.
I was actually reading about that a few days ago, in a string of links that started with The Waltons.
The actors who played both Grandpa and Grandma Walton were gay, and Will Greer was also a lefty activist who was blacklisted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Will Geer was in a relationship with Harry Hay, who founded the Mattachine Society.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bih-lee-tis. I said bih-lie-tis.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's totally one of those read it before I said it words for me, and my brain always always wants to say it BILL-itiss.

I have got to figure out who to complain about about the lack of separation between the end of the show and the preview for the next thing. Makes me nuts!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Skipping to the end to announce: the bees are installed. That was not so hard, but having some fraction of 10,000 bees buzzing around one's veiled head while one moves the queen does get the adrenaline up!
We have a friend who's about to set up a hive (I did not realize that one can ship bees through the US mail), and I impressed him with my knowledge of making simple syrup to get the bees started. I eventually confessed that I learned it from you, and lost all my bee cred. But I'm tickled that now I know TWO people who have bees.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ah, fuck. Just realized my coop shareholders meeting is the same night as a pub quiz I was supposed to go to. It's probably bad form to send a proxy when I'm on the board, right?

Yeah, that was weird. Stonewall uprising was over, and then people got on a bus as Freedom Riders. Took me a second to realize it wasn't the same program.

It's worse (although less confusing) when some traumatic story suddenly turns into something wacky.
