Sox, that's awesome! Give T my undying gratitude for all of his hard work.
And it's not a trigger warning at all. I am still following developments in melanoma cancer research.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got an amazing response from an idiot the other day. It boiled down to "So you think you know what my post means just because you read it? Well, go fuck yourself!"
It was one of those things you just want to cut out and pin somewhere you can get giggles when the world is grinding you down.
I'm supposed to be taking this Coursera course, and the video player is cranky indeed. I'm not used to homework and deadlines. The last thing I need is "the internet ate my assignment".

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, she seems to have stopped arguing now that I posted a "can you see this?" post and she had to admit that, contrary to her statement, she couldn't see it.

That's so cool, Sox! I was just reading about that yesterday. (Why yes, I do follow cancer treatment developments rather obsessively.)

I've just spent the best part of the past two hours of my life on this, so here is my best-ever GeoGuessr (32394 points):
I got a direct hit! I didn't think that was actually even possible.
The last one took forever, but I got there in the end.
Can I stop now, please?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Dammit, Fiona.
t have just lost half an hour playing a round of game (to the paltry points of 11,000-something)
I've never heard of GeoGuessr! I can see how this could turn addictive... (teaches me to wander into Natter when I have a project due)

HMOG, I think I'm not yet acclimated to this heat. 25 minute walk on campus and I had to go stand over the ac vents in the server room to dry my head. And it didn't even feel that hot out!

Maybe it's the humidity? I walked two miles this morning and was wringing sweat an hour later even after a shower. (Also, my glasses fogged up the instant I stepped out of the car as if I were in a cartoon.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Congrats, Sox's DH!
I would love to do one of those tests on the Biscuit, but seeing as how we just got a (donated, bless them) $500+ vet bill for dentistry, not happening. But the dog is happy and healthy with clean teeth at almost eleven, so it's all good.
