I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

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.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

A couple of weeks ago, this drama popped up in my facebook feed, involving some friends in the local podcasting community. Gave me a huge sense of deja vu.

Because books.

And so, there are few things harder than being stucj at home with a toddler. I'm sorry. If I were closer, I would be happy to come help.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ugh, Tom. It does seem to be a pattern that at least a few successful predators use. They spout the right language and ingratiate themselves with women, and women lower their guard.

Reading that thread at Jezebel, this comment stuck out to me:

I've been in that situation before with more than one woke dude, and it definitely goes way deeper than simple immaturity. There's a performative aspect to it, where it's not about actually being woke so much as it's about making sure everyone around them knows just how enlightened they actually are.

That could have been any one of the tweets about P-C that I've seen.

Art Crawl!!!

Am very exhausted. Last night I realized that I had "social" stuff everyday this week and this will continue through Monday. I can't believe I let myself be blindsided by this.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This article seems sadly relevant.

Since woke misogyny can come with a hefty dose of gaslighting, it's difficult to tell whether it's calculated or not.

move out and draw fire

That could have been any one of the tweets about P-C that I've seen.

Right? It's now become a tripwire for me.

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.

So... At a meeting for house coordinators, bosslady asked me to show everybody my bullet journal, because other people are forgetting things and losing track of things and I am so on top of stuff. I was happy to share. That bullet journal really does help me a lot. Thank you, Hil, and other bullet journaling Buffistas for pointing the way.

Later in the day, I was 25 minutes late for a training session via Skype because I spaced out about it.

Yup.
