I love capris, and I don't care who knows. Especially for work. In recent years, I have started wearing knee-length shorts again, but that's as far as I'll go.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As a reporter, I learned that the only way to learn anything was to not be afraid of looking stupid.
What I don't understand is that it seems like no one comes back and says, "Barriers save lives, so let's find a way to make effective barriers that are not ugly and that fit in with a historic buildings."

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
I'm wearing leggings. I join Jesse for a cocktail on the bench of the fashion damned.

Cheers! I need a cocktail, actually.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I like cropped pants for comfort. Sadly, they often do nothing for me since I am short and they make me appear chopped off at the legs. Trinny and Suzanne would be appalled.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I DO TOO
I believe I shall have one when I get home, even if I can't have it with msbelle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And I was feeling bad about wearing the world's ugliest jeans. But I'm leagues ahead of you two.
I find myself increasingly in arenas where people have a shitload of business knowledge, and all I have is my particular technical knowledge. I can't even work out what questions to ask--I have to ask someone if they're good questions first. It's not about me looking stupid, it's about the team. I want us to look good. But, damn, there are a lot of details in this industry, and I will never retain them.
However, I have been able to point out that there are important facts that it seems no one knows, but everyone was ploughing forward as if they had a clue. It's not so bad being naked if everyone in the court is too.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
What I don't understand is that it seems like no one comes back and says, "Barriers save lives, so let's find a way to make effective barriers that are not ugly and that fit in with a historic buildings."
They've tried, and there are numerous fairly unobtrusive designs floating around, but the objectors then object that it's a lot of money to spend to prevent just a handful of suicides a year and while suicide is regrettable, these people are really just selfish and since there aren't that many of them we shouldn't spend public funds protecting them from their own selfishness.
