Any time you think American Horror Story has gone nutso, it goes about twenty times further.
I enjoy it because it's a show where stuff *happens*.
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I made a salad with too many flavors in it! So some bites are good, but some are terrible. Ah well.

Complementarity is key.

Yeah, using up the CSA stuff isn't the best organizing principle, it turns out.
Also, I still hate salad.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I thought you were critiquing AHS.

Ha! I would love to pretend that were true. It...kind of works.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was shocked to hear my New England grandmother recently refer to my cousin's Japanese employers as "little Nips." To the point where I didn't process what she'd said until it was hours too late to confront her about it.
My Cincinnati grandmother is only prejudiced against Republicans, but 60+ years of volunteering at Planned Parenthood in Cincinnati will do that to a person.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Aw, crap. Almost home on the bus and I just remembered that I drove today. I'm now waiting for a bus to head back downtown. I feel like an idiot now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A section of my family takes glee in using Jamaican epithets. I don't know what Coolie Plums are called now--I'm just sure we don't have to call them that--and I managed to work out as a kid to stop. But they're all "using these terms is bringing it out into the light!"
Please god, let me be there when someone calls your kids niggers and we'll talk about "into the light". Oh, wait--your kids were actually served out of disposable cups and plates while the white kids ate inside using plates and glasses. But yet your "in the light" is independent of the shit that your kids got heaped on them in the 90s in their home neighbourhood. It didn't fix it, it wasn't in response to it, and I don't think you ever realised that you are similar assholes.
I snapped and bought this out of a very real need for a non-black lightweight jacket. It'll just be one of those one-person in jokes.

This is indubitably true, but it has some of the most epic occasions of non-communication. Like, seriously--THE MAID???

Oh no! I have almost done that a bunch of times. And the reverse, frantically searching for my parking slip when I took the train in.
