All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

EAT A FREAKING SALAD, WHITEY.

Hahahaha!

Dear road construction workers, please turn off your radio. I really don't want to spend my day off listening to crappy country music and I can't close the windows without cooking myself and 2 cats.

Sigh. Going outside to talk to these guys would mean putting on a bra and outside pants.

Although not doing so would definitely get their attention.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are you sure construction workers can tell the difference between a fully dressed woman and a topless woman?

Is there an opposite to "Platonic"? I want to limit the above statement to the "worst possible version of construction worker" and not to the group as a whole.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hey all -- help a bitch out. I need a correct (with accent marks) translation of the following phrase into Mexican-Spanish. It's for a MS I'm editing.

"That’s the last time you’ll see my shiny ass in this place."

Thanks for any help!

ita !

I think it would get the attention of just about anyone, so don't think it is aimed at anyone in particular. So your construction is not needed in this context.

I love the letter to the editor my sister just wrote as a responsible to bum-sex-will-kill-us-all-if-we-don't-stop-them-marrying. Since the article played fast and loose with fact, her letter is pretty pedantically sourced.

Too long to get published in a letter to the editors section, I think. But my father has long been sending in lengthy responses to articles--he ended up winning a couple silver pens. But he never asked me to do research for them, so obviously they're not as good.

We're close enough to a college campus that I'm sure these guys get plenty to look at. I haven't heard any catcalls, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they aren't the "worst possible version of construction worker". Still, my own comfort aside, I think going out in my inside clothes would be a barrier to communication.

I want a new head. Yesterday was a migraine. I woke up at 5am feeling like it wanted to explode. I've made it through the majority of work I need to accomplish today and that icky nausia feeling is coming back.

In not me news...CJ is doing another fire ride-along. He is spending 12 hours at the firehouse across the street from us. I hope he gets to go on some interesting calls (not that I want anything on fire or anyone hurt...).

Huh. I was just testing to see if I could see indents on my mobile devices (which I can--if anyone has any information on how bon and Amy can force theirs to refresh, please help out in BBaBB++), and at the start of this thread I was reading trans* tumblrs who are filled with hate for cis women, and now I'm reading a tumblr of a cis lesbian who is railing at the rape culture propagated by trans* men. It seems they are worse than cis men, or no different.

Now I have to go look up this "cotton ceiling" and see what in hell is the deal.
