So, what is vertical writing? Because I still have no idea.
Also, that Hillary .gif was kick ass.
Also, Hec, yikes! Very disturbing!!
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

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.

Man, Hec, that is awful! Also, I think of it as one of the "safer" BART stations: it's hardly West Oakland or Fruitvale (ironically the station I use the most frequently).
I totally missed the setup for the ten hundred words discussion yesterday, if that wasn't already obvious.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sweet cuppin' cakes, Hec, that's horrible and scary. I'm so glad the kids are (mostly) okay.

In other news, I'm having a hell of a day.
I'm an hour late to work because I spent some time on Facebook this morning.
My work computer is broken again.
And I was on FB this morning because I woke up to learn that an online friend of more than a decade died in her sleep this week. She was, at most, 37. (Dana, Shrift--if you hadn't heard, it was Sabine, from YV.)
Fuck this day.

Because books.
Oh, Consuela. I'm so sorry.

It's not vertical writing, really. A "vertical" is just a content area, as Jesse and Jessica said. It's a stupid buzzword, too!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So when he asked what vertical you were most comfortable writing, were you supposed to answer with a measurement (like, inches)?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Sometimes disability-rights people call ABs verticals...imagine my confusion.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Holy shit, Suela. I saw your FB post but didn't know the real name connection.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Consuela, I'm so sorry. That's awful.
Loved the Hillary mansplaining gif.

Huh. And I actually work for (or should I say "am aligned with") an "industry vertical". Though at least that is in a longstanding sense of the word. Or so I tell myself.
