Yeah, that's where I am, Calli.

Kat, the big innovation is putting the folded sheets inside one of the pillow cases of the set to keep them all together. Somehow they seem to take up less space overall, which doesn't make sense to me, but they also don't topple off the shelves as easily and the sets stay together even when they do, which was pretty much what I was after. Probably it will limit the amount of cat hair that gets all over the purportedly clean sheets, also, since the linen closet is a prime catnap locale.

Rather than empty the linen closet and refold everything all at once, I've just been folding each set the new way as it got washed and put away, so it's taken a while.

[link] The anti-abuse ad campaign. Not at all triggery unless people rubbing noses with their pets freaks you out...

Sadly, it sounds like the city might be being an asshole in its partnership with the campaign: [link]

I don't get it. (Also, why do I google research everything to death. I could just not know...oh.)

My pink rubber gloves with the pink gingham cuffs (that are, incidentally, just like the ones Annie wears in Nocturnal Vigilantism) are falling apart. Replacing with yellow to match my kitchen.

Those pictures are adorable, the outtakes especially.

The official photos were on billboards and posters all around the city.

Better informed for it. Unfortunately, angrier and more dispirited as well.

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

Thanks for protecting me.

I turned on the TV and it's on the show Catfish. I don't get the premise. Like, how do they know how to find the people who are being lied to? I'm not likely to watch enough to find out...Poor kid who is not trans but pretends to be a girl online so guys will like him--and managed to get booted from school because of it.

Why is no one talking about the bit where he's pretending to be white? That's not a thing?
