I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
He's an anti-choice sued-obamacare asshole. Don't vote for him.
I figured. But the Seattle paper endorsed him. But yeah, once you find out that he used to say he was pro-choice, and then walked it back...it's usually a sign.
I cast my usual vote to try and kick our asshole state rep out of office. Sadly, it won't work.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
so i am sitting in my office late and apparently I didn't move much for awhile because the automatic light shut off on me
Don't assume feature when it could be racial indifference!

Anyone have a good experience with the CI "foolproof" vodka crust recipe? Mine came out more like a batter than a dough, and the resulting crust was...weird. Not remotely buttery or flakey enough, basically no substance to it at all.
(The pie was still pretty damn good even with the freak crust, but I'm just wondering how I managed to break a recipe with "foolproof" right there in the title.)

This is how my day has been today...
I have had pasta for two of three meals (and one WASN'T lunch).
just sat in a meeting about gifted education. The presenter had us do an interpretation exercise of a Wiley Comic. She actually said, "It's important for teachers to take every answer with equal weight and not say things are wrong." Because the fragile flower gifted kids have issues with risk taking and perfectionism.
WHAT? You know what that results in? 12th grade AP students who try to argue that Emily Dickinson was really writing about aliens because all interpretations are valid. Just No. Being wrong is okay. It happens to most of us. Suck it up, buttercup, because some interpretations are WRONG.

I sincerely hope this was not a meeting which included chemistry teachers.

Jessica, was it super airy? Like whipped? Maybe overworked the dough?

It did, Jessica. Any teacher who teaches gifted kids. I mean, really? Such CRAP. I was so angry.
