You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Do me.

I want to see that high and tight look that one stylist/model had.

Jesse, I know some people who have done bellydance and it's great exercise and usually a lot of fun.

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

All I know from afro puffs is that the are the cutest named of all hairstyles

Aims, to answer your question, you'd just need to see her response to this proposition.

More specificity, pls? Do you mean flat top? That was my McGill hairstyle (varying levels of "tight"): [link] [link] [link]

We all do--you could ask in bitches for more details of what to expect now that you're signed up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I expect to try to figure out how to isolate any parts of my body. I mean, I've seen Shakira. That's enough prep, right?

Clearly the solution is to learn bellydancing before the classes start.

How else do people work?

Not like that!

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

Via Knut: Holy shit, roundhouse kick.

Well, I judge people.

I'm also confused by Forbes.

They have an article on 10 surprisingly unusual & high paid jobs which summarises thusly:

  • Embalmer Average pay: $43,680 a year
  • Hot Dog Vendor Average pay: $30,000 to $100,000 a year
  • Personal Shopper Average pay: $25,000 to $100,000+ a year
  • Funeral Service Manager Average pay: $79,930 a year
  • Ice Cream Taster (Food Scientist) Average pay: $56,000 a year
  • Virtual Head Hunter Average pay: $250 to $10,000 per referral
  • Genetic Counselor Average pay: $55,820 a year
  • Live Mannequin / Human Statue Average pay: Up to $100 an hour
  • Body Part Model Average pay: $20 to $1,000+ for an afternoon
  • Cruise Ship Entertainer Average pay: $3,000 to $4,500 a month, plus room and board

And then they have an article on surprisingly low paying jobs with the following paragraph:

Embalmers, firefighters and private investigators also earn less than $50,000 a year, on average. You might expect to make more for a job that requires sanitizing and preserving the deceased—but apparently preparing bodies for interment will only earn you $45,060, and the bottom 10% make a measly $27,010.

Do they have their adjectives correctly lined up to make sense?

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

Other than embalmers being on both lists?

That first list is just unusual, no? With possibly but unlikely high pay for some.
