Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

The status is NOT quo.

I will definitely vote for 30 and am iffy on 38. Twenty fewer instructional days is an entire month which obscene in terms of instructional minutes and what can be learned.

I'm in the same boat, though I don't have personal skin in the game. I am terrified 30 won't pass.

Gah, just had a painful convo with my dad about why I won't buy a house to live with them.

This is good though! Yay standing up for yourself and being firm on boundaries, when it is the right thing to do! You are correct, and it would not fix their problems (and would only make you miserable). Be strong!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Absolutely what meara said.

I had a hard time covering a 12 week instead of 10 week summer for the SF School District. People will fucking shit if they have so many more off days from the schools. I don't know if they realize that's what's at stake.

Yes. No bueno. But also why funding for a main public good should not come in the form of a public referendum.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I had cheese grits and two eggs over easy for supper. Bland, yellow-and-white food. Nummy!

I always felt a kinship with Larry on Numb3rs and his fondness for white food, though my reasons are different. I prefer my food non-confrontational. Boring.

There wasn't supposed to be rain this morning. I do not want to walk in the rain. Fucking rain.

Aaand it's still fucking dark outside. And I'm about to walk to work. Whinewhinewhine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck with everything, Frank. I'm sorry.

Jesse, could you email me your new address so I can get a board donation in? Profile address is good.

And thanks for the well wishes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, this is sad.

A teenager has had emergency surgery to remove her stomach after drinking a cocktail containing liquid nitrogen.

Yep. Liquid nitrogen in a drink served at a bar caused her stomach to burst. (When liquid nitrogen turns to a gas, the resulting volume of gas is much greater than the liquid.)
