Rachel Maddow blogged that many marathoners are donating their room reservations (assuming pre-paid) to locals who lost their homes. Agreed that it should have been cancelled earlier.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Consuela, I am so glad to hear your mom finally agreed! That has to be a huge relief.
Pink is icky and girly, and they are big strong women, so anything pink (even with equal stats) seems to bother them.
Heh. I had the same attitude from 19-35 (with a dash of "I'm too cool to wear anything brighter than muted blue" @@) but them I remembered I look freaking GREAT in most pinks and I'm as badass as I wanna be no matter what color I wear. (Except orange or yellow. Those shades with my complexion make me look like I am dying. Not a Badass Look.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I will say I am so fucking over everything for women* being breast cancer pink. Pink itself I don't have an issue with.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Personally, I might be less over it if it meant any kind of significant funding going anywhere responsible. (But maybe not.)

Even I am over that specific pinkness.

Good god. Apparently someone was held up at gunpoint a block from my house, for their iphone, at 12:45PM this afternoon. WTF?!?! Quiet residential street!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't care what meaning other people are attaching to it. It's a colour I like.

Word, Brenda.
Y'all know I work in an organization that, my office notwithstanding, has a lot of men in it. Like, the meeting I was in yesterday had 20 men and 3 women in it.
So right now they're pushing this "Movember for Men's Health" thing, where the men all grow mustaches to support awareness of men's health issues.
And it's really hard not to say, "Because nobody pays attention to men's health? Seriously?" Men are the default! Men are the ones the studies are done of! Men are the baseline.
But I won't, because I don't need a reputation.
