This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Our wings are not tired.

Sending some calm~ma your way, msbelle.

Because books.

I know that feeling, msbelle. Deep breaths.

I'm also totally into this: Coffitivity. I don't know if you can use it, but it's really calming for me -- being here alone, I like the sound of other people, and you can make it just soft enough to be barely noticeable.

People in the hall are incensed over the disappearance of a microwave down the hall. Which was removed because it violated code. There are 3 other microwaves in this floor/wing alone. 2 within 3 steps of the speaker right now.

I can't even.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit! I forgot to ask my doctor if a handicapped parking pass was worth it. Is it? What's the procedure of actually getting one? Does it involve the DMV, because...I don't know if I could...but I don't know if there's much point me driving if I have to walk any distance. Work is still freaking me out.

I was fine until I got to work and had a meeting and realized that project is 4 weeks away and I think I'm supposed to create our presentation and I'm on vacation a lot between now and then and OH GOD IT'S FINE JUST BREAK IT INTO BABY STEPS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ita, it looks like a form that you and your doctor sign gets mailed in: [link] So, not as hard as going to the DMV, but it could take forever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, I'm weirdly offended that loss of both hands gets you the disabled plate. You can still walk with no hands! (Also my hat's off to anyone with no hands who can drive, but I realize we would use my grandmother's disabled placard when she was just a passenger....)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

If you have to carry anything, I'd bet it's a lot more complicated/challenging over any kind of distance.
