Cincinnati's sports team is the Bearcats.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
NC's basketball team is the Bobcats. Could be either one.
Opposite Action, Aims!! That's a DBT thing. That I need to keep working on.
Ugh. I messed up at work. I hate being in trouble. But I caught myself starting to make excuses and took full responsibility. So yayish.

Aims, I'm glad the first meeting went well. I know how hard it is when that self-doubt and feelings of worthlessness hold you back from doing something you know is good for you. Seems to me that getting that therapist was an instinctive "do the opposite." You should ace that homework.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good news, Aims. Sometimes just starting the therapy process gives a temporary lift.

what's up about the tiny feet. I expected another sentence to come after that. You have me on pins and needles.

Hi Shir. You are still amazing. I took a much smaller level action than you today. Our local coop joined the Boycott-Divest-Sanctions movement. Members who object filed a lawsuit on what seems to many of us spurious grounds. So there is a motion to dismiss with prejudice, based on a state law against SLAPP suits (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation).
We had a demo before the hearing a 8:AM where about 40 people showed up. We had 90 supports in the crowd in a hearing at 9:AM.
Incidentally, for you lawyers, the Judge seemed to be asking much more skeptical questions of the plaintiff than of the lawyer on our side. From what I understand, that does not mean he is that likely to rule in our favor. It could be that he understood our attorney's arguments but needed clarification from the plaintiff. I will say that the plaintiff's attorney was annoying, and the judge seemed annoyed. Judges are human, so that has to at least a little bit of a minus on the plaintiff side, yes?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Aims, I'm am so glad things went well today. And, I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.
Ginger, all kinds of ~ma. I'm glad you're going in tomorrow. That panic is a bitch (as opposed to a Bitch).

Is the BDS against all Israeli products, or just against the stuff they make in the occupied territories?
(btw, an anecdote - the only place in Is/Pal where they grow ginger, apparently, is in the occupied territories. I'd say about 40% of the rants of local BDS supporters here is just about that and how they can't get ginger anywhere. Yes, really).
Also, dude, it's impressive and really not a small thing to change a coop's policy.
One last thing - did you hear about Eretz Yoshveyha (Land of its Inhabitants)? [link] One of the few things that give me hope around here. They really changed (or refined) my mind about some points, but only in such a way that made me quite angry about some old fashioned techniques of the left here. Case in point - BDS from other countries is one thing, but diving the people (all of them) here over another issue just won't work for any side. We need to find out what we agree on first. Finding new things to disagree about is nothing new from the media and government.
