I think Jesse should stay on the internet and amuse me! Because I really should get off the internet and grade papers.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't recall any recent random acts of kindness. I haven't been out amongst the humans much.
I am right now though. At the Soc Sec office to get a replacement card. Whee?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am getting off the internet to have my hair shorn in my lunch break.
Maybe my award will be explained by the time I return, or more likely I will have amassed replies from commenters defending that guy's reporting. IO9 was never great with science. Now they're indefensibly laughable. That's not hard to understand, is it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't even be amusing, because all I can think is, "fuuuuuuuucccckkkkk."

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
Oh man, here goes. Awful feeling, even if what I'm doing is totally justified and necessary.

That's rough, brenda. Get through it.
SSA was unexpectedly quick and painless! Just getting a replacement card, but I can remember taking all day to do that.
I decided to dress professionally today since I now have a professional wardrobe, and it seems to be making me more productive. I wonder how long that will last.

Always Anti-fascist!
Sometimes I think it's because journalism, at least as it's practiced most often currently, and science have such different time frames and goals. The 24-hour-news cycle demands entertaining and provocative little knowledge nuggets, especially anything about men vs. women, sex....so a minor difference in the brain is always breathlessly reported as "Are men naturally smarter?" or "are women naturally more gifted at picking crap off the bedroom floor?"(The answers are usually yes, until next week's "groundbreaking" something or other proving the opposite.)

Trust my rage
-t - since I see you here, I wanted to thank you again for the TJ goodies. The dark chocolate mints were so yummy! and the caramel/sea salt things! I'm doling out the others to myself in smaller amounts.

Good luck, brenda.

Do you have any TJ cookies left, Suzi?
Yes. They won't help in this situation, unfortunately. May need to go for mass amounts of booze. But I'm trying to finish work first.
