If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm really sorry these guys appear to be Chechen Muslims. Because really what we need are more reasons to encourage the Islamophobic jackasses.

But you know some people are relieved that Islamophobia ain't just racism any more.

A friend of my brother's used to get harrassed on the street in Moscow all the time because he "looked Chechen".

Not making any real point except, people suck. But I also got a sinking feeling in my stomach when I heard who they were. Better a Kliebold/whoever than this.

Also, it's not really a nice sentiment, but I am taking vicious satisfaction in the fact that this kid is living out these hours knowing the older brother he (reportedly) idolized is dead in the street.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

If you read my story about my morning - fairly amusing, considering all the other things that are going on - you'll see that I was sad Starbucks doesn't offer Irish coffee.

Obviously, this will be the first franchise on Buffista Island - Boozebucks?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

And it wasn't even Onerous Task Day or anything.

I think this has been Onerous Week. Accomplishing any tasks this week should earn a HUGE gold star.

Librarian Warlord

Well, that was exciting. We were evacuated because of a suspicious package, and stood around outside until the police showed up. eta: we're back inside now - it was harmless.

While we were out there, another librarian said that one of her neighbors just donated his house to the local firehouse so they could burn it down for training purposes (he was rebuilding anyway).

'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"

The Internet-famous picture of a little girl eerily smiling in front of a burning house? Yeah, that was a practice burn by the local FD.

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

Link? I don't think I know it.

Swear to dog, Jesse, I just almost posted "is it too early for wine?"

You're two and three hours ahead of me, so I say go for it.

Also, I feel bad for the kid--maybe it's being an oldest but I feel like his brother probably dragged him into it/warped him.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Matt,

Has the situation resolved itself?
