Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, watching this women's water polo game reminds me how much bullshit the BMI is. Those women are FIT. And I bet most of them are "overweight."

I wish my local paper had headlines like this:

Because books.
The shady part is that the zero-tolerance policy had apparently been put into place to get rid of a specific creepy guy no one liked, and this most recent harasser is some con bigshot. So.
Ugh.

Not that the specific creepy guy wasn't also a harasser, just to be clear.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, I love that one a lot. I think it came from Conan or Jimmy Kimmel or somesuch.

not your mom's socks.
I've been following it, Jesse. The woman involved is an author, and the way she handled the whole situation was amazing. The committee's post this morning was a relief to see.
If I wasn't phone typing, I'd link to some posts. Instead, I know Scalzi put up a link list last week on Whatever.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't believe I went down to tell my apartment manager about a blocked drain without the August rent cheque. Hello, Megan!
