I remember turning 30 and someone told me I was "now middle-aged" and I wanted to sock him in the face. I didn't though. Because that's no way to treat the elderly (that's what I told him).
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Matt Damon, subjectively, is way younger than George Clooney, who is on the young side, subjectively, of middle-aged. At 42 and 51, that sentence has almost all true words.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I've been having the debate with my family recently about when middle age starts. I guess we came down on 45, but I could still make an argument for 40. I've sort of decided we should reclaim "middle aged."
Now that I'm 40, I feel like "middle-aged" should be, like, 53. (I picked that arbitrarily.) Because my brain feels like it's 25. Seriously.
That said, my physical state is decrepit and way past "middle-aged" and well into Old Fart stage. (I say this as I lie in bed on a heating pad for my back, full of flexiril and painkillers. Stoopid back.)
So if you average together my "mental" age and my decrepit Old Fart physical age, I guess it all works back out to...middle aged. Dang.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I read Ashley Judd's article this morning, and then I read people's reactions to the article, and then I wanted to give Ashley Judd a baseball bat and a list of targets.

she seems like she really could fuck someone up with a bat, doesn't she?

What, the comments? Definitely don't look them up.

I read her letter on a reblog from Jasika Nicole. It was a nice, happy, safe space. Not going any further than that, nope.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
