I have one copy of my college transcripts that I can refer to. But I won't be able to get updated ones because I still owe Ball State Money. I hope they wrote that off. It's been 15 years.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What could be cuter than an albino kangaroo? Well, I'm sure some things are, but I can't think of any because my brain is overloaded with cute.

On admissions committees we look askance when people round up to the nearest tenth. Always hundredth.
I didn't have grades so I honestly don't give a fuck but apparently I m again in the minority.

This film is just gorgeous.
Dogs in Slow Motion - 1000fps - Orapup - YouTube
Laughing Squid sez:
In this slow motion video to help promote Orapup (a tongue cleaner for dogs to cure bad breath) by Orabrush, filmmaker Devin Graham (aka “Devin Super Tramp“) and the Orapup production team joined forces to capture a great series of video clips that show dogs playing at 1,000 frames per second with the use of two different high speed FastCAM and Phantom Miro M320S camera.
Dogs! Playing! In the water! 1000 fps!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
When I left the Rite Aid this morning, a white dove and some black crows flew right past me. I felt as if I was in a 70's rock song.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I am sore from packing up two moving pods yesterday so I can work on get our house ready to sell. My DH leaves tonight for two weeks and I may be a little mad at the universe over that bit of timing.
Ugh, Sparky. I totally feel your pain; that was me a month ago, when M went to Germany a week before our moving date. Can you rope some friends into coming over to help out?
Loving the Biden-love. I think some of you would appreciate this t-shirt: [link]
Man, it's Friday afternoon and I am so totally uninterested in doing anything work-related. Mostly I'm just biding my time until my parents get into town. They're coming to help us unpack and generally get the house looking OK, and I've been looking forward to this visit for WEEKS. I'm so excited, both to see them and to get some serious house work done. Woo!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The first company I worked for after college wanted to know the SAT scores of all its hires.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can give you my SATs more easily than GPAs, for whatever reason.

So I just realized that all this time, I thought Stevie Nicks was singing about a white-winged gull.

Help me, hivemind. I need a sanity check before I go tell someone their idea is Not Good and start drama.
Having a "safari" theme for anything, especially, oh, a steampunk event, is kind of fail-y, yes? That the whole concept of "safari" is loaded with imperialistic, colonialist baggage, and there's no way to lessen that?
And for the record, "safari" is the theme these people settled on AFTER realizing that their first choice of "Darkest Africa" was maybe not a good idea.
facepalm
I don't expect that I'll be able to get them to change their minds. But I feel I need to try, especially in light of the RaceFail that's already happening in steampunk. (Robert of Abney Park being an insensitive ass? I'm completely shocked. Really.)

I would say yes, especially as a "theme," ESPECIALLY as a theme that's being implemented by white people in the US looking to a fictional past.
