I want to send thanks out for the tire~ma, even though I never wrote out my request for the ~ma. I've already broken my bank account with my recent dental work. When we found a nail (turned out to be a screw) in my tire, I was resigned to needing to buy new tires. But they were able to repair it at no cost. Wheeeeee.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Dammit. I am STILL stuck waiting for this cable dude to hook cable up to the upstairs room at this client's house. And I still haven't eaten, I'm bored off my ass, I'm now sitting in my car because my phone died, and I REALLY WANT TO GO HOME.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Because I know there are some (highly suspect) people who don't actually do tumblr, I thought I'd give Jesse a reblog rec here.
It's a lovely story about a father who's helping his 5-year old son feel comfortable wearing whatever he wants to. Which, at this point, includes skirts, dresses, and nail polish. He's helping by wearing the same, because that's how his son feels brave enough to stand up to the kids who tease him.
And what’s the guy doing by now? He paints his fingernails. He think it looks pretty on me, too. He smiles when other boys (it’s almost always boys) want to make a fool out of him and says: ‘You just don’t dare to wear dresses and skirts because your fathers don’t dare to.’ That’s how much he has squared his shoulders by now. Thanks to dad in a skirt.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, that is a good one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And it involves someone walking into a lamppost! Free slapstick!

I was just in meeting with a person who said "Oh we never reject applications. We just bury them under bureaucratic requirements until they withdraw in defeat." God, I love working for government. t /headdesk

So, that super-conservative new archbishop for San Francisco:
The Roman Catholic archbishop-elect of San Francisco was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence, San Diego police said Monday.
The Rev. Salvatore Cordileone, a vigorous supporter of California’s same-sex marriage ban, was taken into custody after being stopped early Saturday at a checkpoint near the San Diego State University campus, said Detective Gary Hassen, a police spokesman. He declined to comment on whether Cordileone took a sobriety test.
Prince of a man, clearly.
