As society shakes the nastiness off, it's the concentrated spots that are left. Their protective coatings are flaking off, revealing the truth, and they're trying to stand there all proud of themselves while they realize that they're becoming nakeder and nakeder and more and more isolated. The internet, which has opened a lot of minds, actually gives them the means to find each other and survive.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
t sigh No, person on my FB page, Robert Frost is not a reasonable suggestion when I say that I'm looking for a poem like x and y, but not written by a White British guy. White dude from New England isn't particularly better.
Beyond which, the poem you suggested is nothing at all like the ones I listed.
Thanks for playing, though.

flea, I think maybe, spoiler-fonted, in Boxed Set? Because it hasn't actually aired yet.
I haven't seen it yet--saving it for tonight, maybe.

Got to hold my friends' newborn today. I find newborns so fascinating. They live just around the corner, so I've told them to call if they need anything.
Another of their friends did some errand running for them, and he was there too. He's from India and when he gets excited (or bossy, it turns out) he talks faster and his accent thickens. The whole time, he's reminding T to take her meds and stop going up and down the stairs and has she eaten today? Oh & he picked up some soup from that place we like and even tried to tell me how to hold the baby and I just had to give him the Look(everyone laughed at that one, because everyone else knows how I am with babies.) He was even bossing M (her husband) around.
After he left, I turned to T and said "When did Abi turn into an Indian jewish grandmother?" and we both just lost it. They've known each other since undergrad and she says that while he's always been one to pitch in, they've never seen this side of him. So adorably BOSSY.

FYI, the site says the episodes will only be up through the weekend - so don't procrastinate!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Two episodes? I'm only seeing one.

Man, either my blood pressure pill was a placebo this morning or there is an unusual amount of idiocy afoot in the retail world.
