Sweet cuppin' cakes, Hec, that's horrible and scary. I'm so glad the kids are (mostly) okay.
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.
So, what is vertical writing? Because I still have no idea.
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.

Yeah, I can't even fathom it. She's the one who started YesVirginia, it was through her I met a ton of people who continue to be close friends. I hadn't seen her in years, but man, what a shock.

Consuela, I'm so sorry for your loss.
