Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Lubavitchers, probably?

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

Being right when your father is wrong (and pressing it) is not bad.

I tried to refresh my brain by looking at pictures of the two Steve McQueens, and apparently that's not a trick that lasts. Maybe it's inherently flawed by me not wanting to stop.

Dana, they shouldnt mention an offer unless it is 100%.

I'm at the oncologist getting an iron infusion. Doc called this morning to say my Ferratin level is 7, normal is something like 15-200. So here I sit for the next 3 hours. Wheeeee. So bored already.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Suela, you did the right thing.

Dana, that sucks.

Tommyrot, likely Lubavitchers. They focus on getting people who are already Jewish to be more observant. My bf D was a Lubuvitcher for about six years. Which is kind of cray.

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

Suzi, I hope it quickly helps your energy level.

'suela, there's not much any one of us can say, but I hope you catch some downtime and serenity soon.

I am all for drugs for Consuela's mom. Seems like the most humane thing. I'm reminded of my grandmother, who was eternally depressed and cranky (all her life, she tried many many meds, but especially as she was older). Once she was in the hospital and my mom saw her and was like "OMG, she's HAPPY. What is she ON, and can you give that to her ALL the time?!?" Sadly they never figured out what did it.

BOO to sucky employers. Or non-employers. Or something.

I brought that apple cake into the office; only two people have thanked me for it.

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

I just read the following paragraph of a public person's apology, and I really like how human and culpable it is:

i was going to ignore this, at first, because it made my ears sting when i read it, and it made me mad, and embarrassed. because you’re right. i should’ve considered it more than I did. even if i came to the same conclusion, i can’t tell you with a clear conscience that i gave it all the thought i should’ve. i’ll do better next time.

It's about a writer responding to a complaint about a missed opportunity for ethnic diversity, but it's a very universally applicable paragraph.
