Scola hugs are world class contention.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

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

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time, Tom. Would a look at some really cute cakes help cheer you up? (I love the giant Twinkie cake.) [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I could use some cheering up right now.
I heard a rumor that Joss Whedon was going to do a big budget Avengers movie.
Also, Scatman Crothers does a cool version of "Ghost Riders In The Sky".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Tom, many hugs to you. And many hugs to ita as well. Glad you got to see your mom, glad she has so many to rally around her.
Liese, that sounds amazing and, as you said, profound. One of those blessed moments.
I am having a more quotidien moment right now. Sitting at my computer, eating cottage cheese for breakfast and planning out how to take care of some housework, go to the grocery, head into work for a couple hours, and do a bit of laundry. Hrrmm. I think laundry gets cut from the list.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tom--you DID have a really shitty childhood, but the good thing is that you already did the hardest part--surviving it. You are loved, live in a gorgeous place, and, most importantly, are a good person now. The work of integrating and understanding the badness is really hard and dark, I know, but the fact that you are doing it shows that you are already on the other side, even if you don't feel like it sometimes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Lots of hugs, Tom.

This. You are ALWAYS one of the people I want to see when I visit NY.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Scrappy FTW, as is frequently the case. More happy things - my roommate's kittens' favorite cat toy? Frankie's constantly wagging tail.

Anybody got a link to the Belinda? I just finished watching a Japanese flick with and evil cat named Blanche and baby crying and it reminded me of Belinda. I need to share the evil.
Belinda could come in handy in a Japanese horror flick. When the vengeful ghost shows up, just hold Belinda up, ask if she'd like to pet it, and she'd be all "GAH! Er, so sorry, I have the wrong address!" and hop back into the TV or up into the attic.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Scrappy is wise.
And yes, we love and value you, Tom. We know you beyond your childhood, you are not defined solely by your past.

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 love the Good Stuff Tumblr.
My mom told me that Neavie thinks she becomes physically stronger when she wears her Wonder Woman costume.
