Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

what the fuck? how can you be for a cure and not support stem cell research? I don't get this.

Per this summary of the mess at DailyKos, SGK *did* support stem cell research, most recently giving $12M/year in grants, until this past November. Either they were a lot quieter about it or the former grant recipients were, so it just slipped under everyone's radar until this week.

But, yep, hell yeah they used to be for a cure and vigorously support stem cell research, just not no more.

Our wings are not tired.

There have been a number of times in the past that I sponsored friends in their races. I want to believe this is going to dramatically change their fund raising, but it is more likely that those that applaud their agenda will make up the difference.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Apparently there's a Canadian documentary opening next week that addresses all the problems with the SGK foundation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, my boss just brought me a brownie. Crying pays off!

Because books.

Someone from SGK was just on The Today Show. That was awkward.

Uh, Laura, aren't you your own boss?

Heh.

So far this morning, I shut one of the cats in the dryer, nearly sneezed a contact out in the middle of an allergy attack, and almost forgot to hand Sara her viola when she got on the bus. But it's sunny!

I am supportive! And would let Laura have some of my brownie, if only she were closer.

Enjoy your sun, Amy. The snow storm is continuing here.

I'm trying to work, but it feels like all the folks I work with aren't online. Across the US, not just other locals. Answer my questions, people.
