Okay, now I need to re-read that collection of Teen Titans TPBs.
Look what you people make me do.

This article about language influencing thought is cool
That was fascinating.
Steph my Dad is like that.
He's also weirdly obsessed with weight. He's always worried about eating right and getting fat. And from various comments over the years (comments I overheard about other women) he really doesnt' like fat women. He likes young, skinny dark haired women. The only thing I can say is he has never made me feel bad about my weight.
However, when I was in high school he did approach Mom with his fears I was going to be a feminist.
Mom's response was "Too late."
He also made a really homophobic comment in the San Francisco airport. Which caused heads to turn and I didn't call him on it then but I did later.
Last time I was at the beach and we were fishing he told me a racist joke. All I said was I didn't think it was funny. And the subject dropped. We stay away from politics, religion, social issues and most current events in our conversations. Which is limiting in what we talk about but it's either that or we get in fights.
You got it, Sparky. I hope it's resolved peacefully.
Sending all the ~ma to G and J, Sparky.
Sparky,
I have been flipping out about this for an hour or so. I know people there and were emailing back and forth when I heard the news.
Oof. I heard that on the radio and was hoping there was no reason for anyone buffista-adjacent to be there. I hope it resolves swiftly and safely.
Timelies all!
It's a bit weird to be the last person in the lab on a day when I was the second person to arrive. :shrug: It's friday.
Sending ~ma, Sparky.
I'm waiting for KCD to flip out. He hasn't paid his share of certain CJ related expenses for over a year now. He pays the regular child support no problem, but the unusual stuff has been a struggle - though it didn't used to be. We had made verbal agreements and I have the divorce paperwork.
I just sent an e-mail detailing it all out, calculating the numbers a couple of different ways and right now I don't care how much he pays, but come on man...this is your son. I'm not asking you to pay for anything crazy - karate tournaments, testing fees, school fees, dental costs over insurance. Dude should be happy that the wisdom teeth costs were less than $200 when our original quote was over $1,000.
