Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Nope. No study ever existed. I'm still flummoxed at the level of effort that went into the "study" email because since it was the only level in the deception it would absolutely not stand up to scrutiny .

Not to mention, if I remember the sequence correctly, your sister was going to let the whole thing drop before she got that "study" email.

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

Exactly that, BT. Who wants to revisit an uncomfortable scenario like that if you will be seeing each other again, but not so much that the air needs cleaning.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hi ita! I missed you too, but haven't been able to catch up the last few days to say so. Consider yourself retro-tacklehugged.

I'm glad the student is getting disciplined and HELPED, because that's hella-disturbing.

(Oh, I miss posting for real, not just skip-ignore-ongoing-conversations-post-and-poof. Sigh.)

Interesting dynamic graphic comparing gay rights in the various states: [link]

I'm in the middle of a civil rights wasteland, but at least Arkansas is a little better than other southern states in that it allows same sex couples to adopt and has anti-harrassment laws in school. Also, regardless of the laws hospitals here actually do allow people other than spouses and children unlimited visitation, though I don't know how they handle medical decisions when the patients can't make them themselves.
