From upthread:
emotional incontinence
What is this?
I concur with above sentiment that Mockingjay is some of the darkest shit I have read in a long time. The film is going to be BRUTAL.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Congrats Seska!

Okay, front hallway and bathroom are done, except vacuuming. Some laundry is sorted. And a sink full of dishes is done. Progress.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Congrats to Seska and The Girl!! I am reminded that i really skimp on protein when i'm sick. the last week has been all about hot tea with honey and lemon ginger echinacea juice (nectar of the gods, but only when i feel like crap). Solid food is uninteresting. lentil soup gets boring. I'm getting plenty of calories (and vitamin c!) from liquids and still take my vast array of vitamins, but i have no interest in nuts or grains and cut out dairy entirely since it does nothing positive for my digestive system even in the best of health. Perhaps i should try to incorporate a smoothie into my breakfast routine. That might even work, since i've been utterly uninterested in toast or cereal or even oatmeal lately.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am basically catching up on thousands of posts in Literary and now have an even more massive list of books to read. Right now, though, I need to read a She-Hulk trade or something, to cleanse my mental palate. Fortunately I have one sitting unread on my shelf.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Emotional incontinence does mean surprise crying. I wonder if that means I'll cry less. I don't cry at length, but I probably cry pretty often. I thought that was just the life of a Supernatural fan, though.

I had that on Wellbutrin. Hallmark commercials made me cry. Using the last tea bag from the cannister made me cry. That was a tiresome and embarrassing era.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Emotional incontinence means involuntary, uncontrollable crying and/or laughing, often at inappropriate times.
