Hugs for you, if you want them, Shir.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Herding cats for fun
and I think everyone has forgiven me except the cat.
Oh Ginger. How I shall miss you. One of the smartest, funniest and kindest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I will never forget your quote about how you lusted for book shelving space more than others did for diamonds and cocaine.
Good bye, fare well, see you on the other side. Go ahead and pet Squeaky for me.

Always Anti-fascist!
Pat Conroy once wrote that sometimes the hardest thing about being a liberal is the people you have to be friends with. Shockingly, I don't even think he's met any disability rights people, but they are who I think of when I think about that.

> It doesn't surprise me that Ginger helped so many because she was very kind and helpful to me. I just didn't consciously know how many others she helped because she did it so quietly. It just hurts that life wasn't kinder to someone so giving.
Yes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So far, four students have done this: they see their average grade on the online gradebook, and then they email me begging for extra credit or something that they can do to get a few extra points, or asking me why the grade hasn't been curved like I said it would be, without having first logged on to check the actual grade that was recorded for the semester. If they had done that, they would have seen that the grade was curved, and the grade that they're begging for is the grade that they already have.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
And I have students who are frantically e-mailing me asking why there isn't a grade posted in the online gradebook after I made two announcements, both in writing on the website, that I'd be grading all weekend so the scores would fluctuate and they should wait until Tuesday to check the final grade. I'm trying to remind myself that many of my students are kids and grades are really important in their lives but still.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
repost from Natter:
Who sent me the green snowflake ornament? It must have fallen out of a package or an envelope because I found it on the floor and I know I've never seen it before! It's very pretty and I put it on a hanging basket to wait until I get the tree up. A mystery snowflake appeared!
It really has been chaos around here, with the moving of stuff and the enthusiastic helpers.

I believe Suzi is the culprit. A number of us got them and thanked her in Good-bye and Good Riddance.

I am at work, where I'm introducing male co-workers to SockDreams and trying to persuade them that they can too order from it.
I will not let heteronormativity win this morning.
