You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sorry, my bad. I keep wishing I could fix things for you.

Yeah, me too. I don't mean to sound contrary. Just...hoping for better things for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I know I'm being snippy and defensive, but, basically, here's how I peg the numbers:

  • 0--mythical beast--I had a day and a half last month. Creepy as fuck.
  • 3--hurts, but it's not going to stop me from doing anything at all
  • 5 --well, I'll stick to the important stuff, which includes movies and seeing, like 1 or 2 friends
  • 7 --the sandpaper has started
  • 8 -- not as bad as 9
  • 9 -- I'm going to the ER now. I can get home from work,but I can't get *to* anywhere from home under my own steam, and once I get there, I'm not useful. Don't touch me, don't bring food near me, and I dimmed the light and volume for very good reason
  • 10 -- I can't go to the ER. It all hurts and I won't be able to make it downstairs to the cab. It was nice knowing you.
  • 11 -- 10+explosive puking

I'm not sure of how to convert back and forth to Messrs (or Misses, or any combo thereof) Wong and Baker's scale.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just can't even imagine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Damn, I'm sorry, ita. I wish I had something even remotely productive to offer.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh,ita. Oh,msbelle. I don't even know what I can say.

So NPR has a headline that says:

A new study shows that among 16- to 29-year-olds, 8 in 10 have read a book in the past year.

Aren't almost 50 percent of those people in school of some sort, where they would have to read at least one book a year?

You don't have to read a book in school!

Dear Ohio, I'm sorry: [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It sounds really awful in Ohio: [link]

And it a separate post, I'm so sorry ita and msbelle.
