So I'm at my migraine specialist, and it seems they can't find the appointment. The specifics aren't typical, but the frustration is.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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.

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Sue, after a very long and mopey conversation with my mother last night (her: "I don't think I can stand watching CBC tonight."), I had a Rusty Nail and put this song on repeat: [link]
(Lily Allen. It's probably obvious which song it is. NSFW lyrics. I figure it repurposes nicely for Harper, as does half of Tumblr.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So it seems there's this big debate on Facebook over who would win in a fight: Batman or Jesus.
I read that! And it just made me sad, because it reminded me SO MUCH of the humorless dogmatism of the freak-ass church. Even an OBVIOUS joke was simply taken as an opening to beat someone with The Truth About God's Plan For Your Salvation Through Jesus OH MY GOD WHY WON'T YOU JUST ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR SO I CAN GET MY TOASTER.
I wish I were joking. I think perhaps people would be less put-off by the FAC types if the FAC types actually could recognize and acknowledge when someone is taking the piss. (Did I use that phrase right? "Taking the piss" = "Making a joke," yeah?)

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
(Did I use that phrase right? "Taking the piss" = "Making a joke," yeah?)
Yes. But the connotation is also like, making a joke, and giving the business to the jokee.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This Wall Used To Have Art On It
A real estate company painted over a wall of art in Sydney, Australia, prompting this follow-up response.
Heh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Do these people understand that stress is a migraine trigger?

More like "Making fun of", then.

My sympathies to the Canadians.
So, talk to me like I'm stupid: is there any hope in the NDP's relative success?

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
But, Allyson, you're stuck in the Green Lantern past. Updating you doesn't seem to have any effect.
Yeah, I'm not really rational about this.
Also, I'm disappointed that the Limbaugh thing turned out to by sarcasm. I do think folks trying to desperately to twist the story into a victory for the Bush Administration in spite of the Obama administration look completely craxy to most humans.
