I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

For a while in my early twenties I had a denim jacket with a bunch of pockets that I could stuff full of things that would otherwise go in a purse and it somehow didn't look bulky and that was awesome. The weight of my stuff was distributed better on my body rather than weighing down one shoulder, draping it over the back of a chair was hardly ever awkward, I pretty much needed a jacket if I was going out anyway. And then I lost it in one of my involuntary purge of belongings.

It wouldn't hold an iPad, anyway, I'm pretty sure.

Connie,

I love the other part of Will's quote too: “Trump is evidence that if your net worth is high enough, your IQ can be very low, & you can still intrude into American politics”

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

Why does megafauna creep me out so much? I'm suddenly pre-occupied with giant crocodiles (or maybe alligators--my mind's eye won't get me get close enough to check) and it's a waste of brainspace.

Salt water crocodiles are enormous! And they like to eat human flesh.

Thanks, Hec, for forcing me to bring this back to mind.

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

Excellent! The best work excursion I ever had was a dinner at the Autralian Reptile Park on the Central Coast. They had a similarly-proportioned salty (called Eric, IIRC) who had also lost a limb. In his case, it was bitten off by a female salty who wasn't in the mood. He reacted by killing all three females in his enclosure (which is when he was moved to the ARP).

That was also the occasion when I witnessed the epic showdown between actuarial stupidity and a Burmese python.

Did stupidity win?

Did he kill the specific croc that turned him down? If so, was it first, last, or middle?

I have a narrative I need fact-checked.

Considering she bit off his leg, I'm guessing he turned his rage on to some smaller females. What an asshole crocodile!
