Shit. The latest tweet from campus: "Students broke the structure set by police; are rushing en masse down McAllister Street." Seriously, people?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

So, Noah has been working on his latest skill: [link] The video is only two seconds long so it comes quick.
He loves to do this because it makes me laugh. Silly little boy.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Good grief, Hil: some days, I just want the largest cluestick in the world and to perform a mass THWAP.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Noah made me laugh as well.

Noah is working it. Cutie.
I'm so freaking tense. Me stuff, kid stuff, money stuff, KCD crap, missing karate, and probably pms-ing. Work is good. The cats are good. Sleep meds are great. I should take them.

Hot, hot shower and a sleep aid, Suzi?

Noah is adorable. Love the wink. He's such a masher.
Franny has this impecable eyebrow raise, I am SOOO jealous.
I don't have anything rational to add to the discussion about the rape on campus. It reminds me of the church. I feel like that's how that kind of thing happens, there's some kind of knee-jerk reaction to cover things up, as if the harm to the institution is far more worrisome than the harm to the person who has been raped.

Yeah, Burrell, that's the essence of this commentator's take.
JZ was saying the same thing, noting that when the sex abuse scandals hit the Catholic Church back in the 90s, her Mom was very involved with dealing with the issue. A cop who came to talk about it said this situation recurs because there's a mindset to protect the institution over anything else. He said that he'd dealt with the issue in almost every large institution that had regular dealings with kids placed in their care. (Freaky scary that notion.)
Humans suck at the humanity thing sometimes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My insomnia problems are two-fold. Falling asleep, and managing wakeups. I tend to have long periods of rolling around listlessly attempting to fall asleep both times. But I'd gotten better at wakeups! The past two weeks weren't bad, the falling back to sleep.
But tonight's the second night I've woken up shockingly wired. My sleep psychologist wants to teach me to manage my thoughts and quiet them, and honestly, that's not my problem. It's my body. It's nearly vibrating with tension, and I don't know how to get it to go away. The relaxation techniques I'm so stupidly good at are just at quieting my brain down.
