Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

Same people who greenlighted Moolatta?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Not all of those are accidental racism. You say "black or yellow or brown or normal" and you have some unexamined shit up in there. Most of the rest are just accidentally funny, though. Or plain...who let that cereal box thing go through? Come on!

Those were not so accidental. The rest are like when I realize the costume shop has bins labeled "Black Men's Underwear" and "White Men's Underwear", and it is awkward.

I was at a diversity event today that was a screening of "A SIngle Man" with a discussion afterward that seriously involved our dean saying that "I have 2 gay friends".

Oh, dear.

Speaking of which, that was a great movie.

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

Not when you explain how they're cut differently...for his comfort.

White City is actually a suburb/nearby town in Seattle. It's one of the more diverse places around here, too.

I just saw the note about your husband, Scrappy. Lots of positive thoughts coming y'all's way from me right now.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Wrod, Scrappy. At least they caught it in time.

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

"black or yellow or brown or normal"

According to the comments, that one was a cracked.com parody.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Ceiling still leaking. Seems likely that it's from the shower, rather than the roof. I am not particularly calm about this.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Home from the hospital WITH the DH. They were worried it was a floating clot and would have needed a filter to keep it from migrating to his lungs. They looked at it with sooper seekrit machines, but it turns out it is a stay-put kind of clot, so all is well. They upped his Coumadin and he goes back to the doc on Friday, as he will be doing on a regular basis for the next few months. Whew!
