I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Plot holes - I almost automatically do hand-wavey fix-its in my head, if I even notice a plot hole, which I mostly don't. Even once they've been pointed out, they kind of glance off my brain with little effect.

Hm, Up by the shoulder is not uncomfortable. I'll try it for a bit and see if it stays put.

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

Up by the shoulder, like facing up? Or facing out? Facing forward, it would fall out. Not enough tension there--there's a gap where the strap doesn't touch me. Facing up, too much tension. I'd have to loosen the strap to fit something in.

hip deep in pie

My boobs don't squish together enough, even in a bra. My phone would probably fall right out.

I once tried to drop my ipod into my bra in a public place...except that I forgot I was wearing a plunge bra that only had a little strappy bit in the middle, and down the ipod went in my shirt. I had to then try to discreetly fish it out.

A single key or loonie or toonie becomes unnoticable in my bra once it's warmed to body temperature.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I don't think that I could "drop" anything into my bra -- my bra is pretty tight against my skin in most places, and putting something into it would require pulling the bra away from the skin. There's certainly not any empty space big enough to drop in an iPod.

Yeah, all y'all and your bra shenanigans are crazy to me.

chris, there are a whole bunch of different museums in different buildings that constitute "the Smithsonian", so it's possible there's one slightly off the mall.

Ann, that's a ferret.

So all the actual museums are on the Mall now?

Oh, that was the question. My apologies for the confusion.

The Mall has the largest concentration of Smithsonian museums. You could probably spend several days just exploring them. But there are Smithsonian museums in other parts of the city. (The National Zoo is part of the Smithsonian.)

You're probably looking at the Anacostia Community Museum. Unfortunately, I've never been there.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I put the phone (it is an iphone) with the long way perpendicular to the strap. If that makes sense.

OK, when I first popped the phone in (same as Sophia does, and it's an iPhone with one of those soft grippy covers that remind me of jelly shoes) it shifted every time I moved my arms and felt like it was going to fall out any second, but I went ahead and cleaned the bathroom with it there. It worked it's way down into the top of the cup, but didn't fall out and isn't uncomfortable. FTR, it's a sports bra that is probably a little too small but doesn't bounce much and does have wide straps.

Cool.

The long way would go from uncomfortable to unsecured to uncomfortable again. Uns all round!

My breasts are special and hallowed, and they cannot be lowered by deigning to share space in their vessels with anything as paltry and material as a phone, or money.

I'm looking at conditional formatting for the first time in Excel Newfangled, and...good lord. I've worked out how to colour one cell based on its value, but I'm a little flummoxed about how to colour an entire row. I know this is supposed to be easier for first time users, but FUCK first time users. I hate virgins, man. They ruin my slutty fun, like, every time.

I started a conversation elsewhere about the kyriarchy and women's body hair, and lo and behold...there's a guy bemoaning how hard it is to have a beard and get a job.

Gold medal to you! In fact, that's a personal all-about-me best, if the records I've been keeping are accurate. Yurchenko double twist, stick the landing...tens across the board! The Crowd Goes WILD.
