just order more computer stuff from amazon for my office. $3.50 to the board! whoot!
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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.

Yeah, it's funny how me being bitchy or grumpy about institutional sexism is considered by some to be part of the problem. There are plenty of straight, white males who are plenty bitchy and/or grumpy, but I don't see them having their reproductive options legislatively curtailed or their income for doing the same work as women reduced (relative to women's) because of it.
If having a bad attitude led to oppression, there's plenty of online commenters who would be naked and starving in a sewer. Yet they never seem to lose internet access.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wish I could even figure out how to read the comments on Jezebel now
Don't. You're not supposed to. Don't fight it. Your time and neurons are more worthwhile than that. There's a fix you can install, but why the fuck should you?
I can probably swing getting mansplained to once a week, if I don't not avoid the scenarios. If I do try and avoid it, we're down to once a month--that's in person or online.
Oh, hey, I have time to finish that muffin now. I wonder if I can make it to the restaurant in time for stinky fries...

But even in the media, it only takes one willfully clueless person to ruin my day.
OMG. So much WORD to this.
so much.
so so much.

I often ask men who our countering me on things...
based on what?
I do it to my dad often and he hates it. but really, he has no business talking to me about my work issues, or being a woman, or really even what to do with mac. His base of knowledge is far weaker in all those areas.
I am trying super hard to pull myself out of a mood and I am just failing.

Is it weird to tweet at a restaurant on my block to see if they have running water? I can't find any info other than that streets are still closed, which doesn't bode well, but I am curious!

I'd probably do it, especially if I were a regular customer.

I've been there once! I do realize it doesn't really matter either way and I'll just see what I see when I get home. (If there's still no water, I might spend the night at my folks', but would need to go home first anyway...)

ION, I just got an email from a colleague who uses Comic Sans as her default font. It sort of works for what her job is, but it still made me laugh.
