Also not an April Fool's joke: My regular bar for the last ten years is closing! I am seriously bummed about this, there are no other cool bars in my neighborhood!
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

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

Oh, my god, sans-serif fonts. How is it possible for someone to consistently type a capital I when they mean lower-case l? Why do I have to keep changing things into Times New Roman to double-check the freaking letter? How is this my life?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've decided to just watch it unfold without commenting. (Which, in the end, may make me a dick for not offering congratulations on a real wedding
You can always blame the algorithm for not showing you the post right away.
I need to post about a bunch of gear the theatre is giving away but I'm afraid people will think it's a joke.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a friend who got married on All Fool's Day. In her verifiable defense, I was chief bridesmaid.
Also pre-FB.
You know there are some people who get married on April 1st (or Halloween)? They are definitely those people.
DON'T MARRY AN IMPROVISER, FOLKS.

I was prepared to give an update at a meeting this morning, but of course it ran long and they didn't get to me. I guess I could email the update, but I'm feeling vaguely indignant because I actually did a thing! I got something done! I'm totally doing stuff, guys!

I am awaiting details.

Our wings are not tired.
I have a friend who got married on All Fool's Day.
I wanted to do this, but my mom and step-dad had a concert scheduled to perform at that day so I changed it to St. Patrick's day. I could have asked them to not go, but I didn't want to do that. They probably would have been okay with mom, but they had far fewer men in the chorus and he would have been missed.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I don't have a problem with people getting married on April Fools' Day (or any other holiday/day of notoriety), just to be clear. I was just stymied by a wedding announcement that didn't have a "this is real, seriously!" disclaimer, made on the internet on a day set aside for pranks.
t edit Plus, I am a paranoid jerk who doesn't like falling for pranks, so I disbelieve everything today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have made it my policy to just believe things (unless they are obviously very silly) and if it was someone joking about, for instance, getting married then fuck them. Basically.
