Tom, I'm sorry things are so awful right now. I hope those claws loosen a little soon.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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
One author pulls a Charlie Sheen with a letter to Simon and Schuester. I feel so sorry for his agent right now.
I sent an e to my agent swearing an oath that I would never do that.

I've been proofreading disaster proposals (earthquakes and tsunamis) this week, so I'm actually kind of hopeful and in awe of my scientists. Tsunami alert systems. Excellent.

I wish I could figure out what crazy!author's book was actually supposed to be about.

Himself. It's his favorite subject, and would be yours, too, if you weren't actually part of the problem. (The problem being people who don't think he should be everyone's favorite subject.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Jilli!
