And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

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

It's homophobia so severe it's pretty clearly channelled misogyny. A complete fear and rejection of anything that associates with the feminine role. It's strident and ironically hysterical.

Some of them won't use a straw.

They're very 12, aren't they? Or 19, like the guys I knew in college.

I'm thinking about demanding a trophy for being Dead Last on my team today.

Shrift, you're only last because those others didn't show up at all. You should get a trophy for being there and doing it. Good on you!

ita, is your sis still doing AIDS prevention stuff?

Helicopter is circling my house. That's a bad sign, right?

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

You should get a trophy for being there and doing it.

In 40-degree weather. Yes.

ITA with Dana. In 40-degree weather, you should get a trophy. And handwarmers.

Yes, as well as general M2M anthropology stuff when she's not teaching anthro at school. She wanted me to logic check part of a paper, but the side stuff she was telling me was so distracting I could hardly focus on her big words. Git on wit yo bad shibboleth, savlamar!

Although they can get over it juuuuust long enough to screw women. Just barely.

Is this inner city Jamaica, or just inner-city in general? I ask because I'm trying to figure out it if it's that bad here.

It's fairly regular here. I don't even blink. But, Baltimore, you know?

So I pretty much just consumed a bottle of red with my neighbors. A bottle each, to be clear. Which make me not care about the cramps. And it was a hilariously good time (a laugh until you slide off the chair in tears is always good) and the edibles I brought were a hit and almost completely consumed. But I'm sneezy from the red wine and warm from the cause of the cramps and very glad I put in the ac tonight.

Good night. We'll see about the morning. God help me if I wake at 5.
