I've been defeated by Captcha. If you saw, "the second color in cow, pink, yellow, and brown is _____?" What would your answer be?
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Yeah, that's what I wrote. Twice. No dice. I think I broke it.

Weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Glitch in the Matrix, I say.
That is EXACTLY what it felt like, but I couldn't find the right reference.
JenP, that's why I keep our "captcha" simple. Unfortunately, it's simple enough that a human can change a script to flood signups, but at least a robot can't do it (yet) on its own.

Yeah, that was actually the first question Captcha like that that I've run in to, so I figured I'd double check that I wasn't just being deeply stupid. I kind of look forward to seeing how they resolve my issue. I think I'm now locked out anyway because I tried too many times.

Call The Midwife was excellent, but it plays with my brain when the next big PBS period piece is dated after my birth.

Unrelatedly--I saw the Lincoln trailer, and curse them for putting JGL in it. Anyway, Lincoln seems to be portrayed (again) as an endlessly noble man who knew a black kid when he was young, and is now the only man in the North or South who's firmly against racism.
But "Abraham Lincoln owned slaves" is a sentence I know I've seen a million times, without having any larger reference. What is closer to the truth of his stance?

I'm pretty sure he came late to abolitionism, but would have to do actual research to give you any facts there.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Lincoln's family didn't but Mary Todd's family did own slaves.
