Not bad-looking. Not bad at all.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Interesting! I'm curious how they know about the nose, if they just have the main skull to work with.
I'm wearing a new red dress today, but I just looked at my calendar, and I should have saved it for tomorrow! I have a scary meeting tomorrow.

I've been at work for 2 hours. Less than amused to wake up long before the alarm. Especially when it became clear today is a sudafed day. Blearg.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've always wondered that myself. In Richard's case, though, they have portraits.

The article said that they didn't look at the portraits when they were doing the reconstruction -- they treated it as if it were an unknown skull. They only looked at the portraits afterwards, when they were putting together the hair and painting the eyes and stuff like that where they needed to know color and style.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What New Yorkers complain about: [link]
I was going to point out that if "the MTA" didn't make the top 3, no way was this an accurate representation, but apparently that wasn't the point:
I wanted to compare the relative number of complaints about noise, graffiti, and litter in different parts of NYC.
So ok then.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So ok then.
Do people record complaints about the MTA somewhere specific? I'd imagine solid and comparable numbers would be harder to come by.

The MTA has a dedicated number you can call with questions/complaints, but I'd guess most of the bitching happens casually in person (either on the platform among strangers or an hour later at the office explaining to co-workers why you're so late) so yeah, it'd be hard to track.
It's a weird headline also because 311 is a general information number - it's not just used to report problems. (And honestly, graffiti and noise complaints? Did we regress to the 1980s all of a sudden? Where are the complaints about bike lanes and strollers in bars?)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I don't know if you recall my FUCK CANCER from last week when I found out a co-worker had been diagnosed with Lymphoma...but now it is a FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, STOOOOPID FUCKING CANCER as she passed away yesterday. Three weeks in the hospital, chemo, heart issues, horrible blood counts, and her body just gave out.
I'm in the office today and there are people crying at their desks. She was such a bright light. Always a positive attitude, happy to help anyone, she had a confidence and air of strength about her to be envied. Loretta, you will be missed but you will always have a special place in my heart.

Shit, Suzi, that's just awful. I'm so sorry.
