The Sandford, FL police chief has stepped down.
MSNBC says he has "temporarily step[ped] aside."
eta: That's what he said in the press conference.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Temporarily stepped aside? Like a TV show goes on hiatus?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'll join Jesse in the crying at work corner. Man I just hate the constant emotional drain. Therapist says I need friends, intimate, dependable, lean on friends. I consider it a win that I did not throw anything at her when she said that.
Ugh ugh ugh to all of it! I was thinking I should go back to my therapist, who I totally use as a fake friend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
they would argue is isn't counterproductive, but claim yourself to be "anti-sexist."
What is the value of a gender-specific category?

I mostly just focus on not biting people at work.
Last day is tomorrow! I've never been so happy to be facing unemployment. (I realize I'm in a huge position of privilege here, since mr. flea is making a nice salary and we will be fine.)

No, you're my real friends!

That is totally how I roll, and why I think I should go back -- I don't need that shit leaking out at work, so I should get it done in my free time.

Yeah, I need to make some friends here in PA. My hang-out and talk peeps (Edit: as in -- cause me to leave my cave; noting taken away from the glowy box people at ALL) are mostly in DC and a couple in Baltimore. Also, I need to get to those places more. Also, I hate talking on the phone.
In better news, I'm making homemade chicken noodle, I'm going to call it stew since I just put some thickener in it, from the stock I made a few weeks ago. Man, I can't wait. It smells soooooo gooood. I am also baking a cake. Food as comfort. Yup.

We're right here, msbelle.
I do not understand the "I'm not a feminist but" people. They are often women who are saying something like "I'm not a feminist but I think corporations should have more women executives." They're stating opinions I would consider feminist, but don't want the label.
Does feminist mean large unpleasant person who'll shout at you or someone who believes women are human beings? To me it's the latter, so I sign up. ~Margaret Atwood
