You know when you just need to step away from people before you start hating them?
The reasons suggested for why Judge Dredd can't be gay aren't coming from a place of well-established only wanting women.
The really really irritating point is that people are reacting based on the top half of an article, because the article explains that Judge Dredd's sexuality is not even up for discussion in canon.
God, people like to be upset.
Grace's nap did not help. Off of oxygen, her sats are still in the mid 70s. Not responding to anitbios... RSV? Hospital? BLARGH.
I might've given the tow truck driver my email. In a completely platonic fashion.
We were talking about the places we've lived, and he's out in Ellicott, fairly recently started up his own towing business (< 2 years) and taking classes after doing towing and cabbing in SF (moved to be closer to his family in NYC, but doesn't want to work there again,) doesn't get much into the city at all. So I was playing tour guide (even took us down 36th, but mostly because that was the easiest approach to drop the car off.) And he was so fascinated with what I knew. And I was like, I'm a homebody, and I've been here a mere while, but have had good recs from people who aren't and the like. And he was all 'this sounds really weird, and I don't mean to be but could I get your phone to ask you for info or maybe show me around?" I gave him my email.
It's both hilarious and bizarre.

Oh, poor Grace, Kat. I hope you can clear whatever it is up with the least of trauma to you all.
Hey, man, tows are expensive. Might be nice to have one you can just call.
NOT LIKE THAT.
It's not like Sarameg's out of the country.
But you love us anyway, right?
