Yes, that.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Eta, I don't remember the last time I felt so uncomfortable. I went into the office ONE DAY this month and managed to catch whatever has been felling people on my team. I thought I might get away with just the sore throat, but my skin hurts which is always the first sign of the real deal for me.
Then I spent three hours in the park weeding and seeding and cleaning and now I can't even tell what's causing what, I just know it ALL hurts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does this picture look like steampunk or simply period?
Sue, I hope you and yours stay well clear of doctors for the next little while.

Kinda steampunky, I think. Possibly because of the corset and the tall hat.

Because books.
I spent the day with high school girls at Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls in North Philly, and they were completely awesome. We talked about writing -- I did a workshop on voice -- and then there was a book signing, and the girls were just amazing. AMAZING. But I have to give all of you who are or were teachers so much credit -- I am exhausted. In a very good way, though.
I always say "let's get coffee" even though I drink tea. Weird.
brenda, hot bath and ibuprofen and possibly some medicinal alcohol?

Steampunk.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Looks more period than steampunk to me, although definitely a theatrical sort of period. I don't see any cogwheels or aviator goggles.
I like Amy's plan for brenda. I might steal it for me, but it would require cleaning the bathtub.
Meanwhile, I have a loaf of "bread" in the oven and 6 little containers of mousse in the fridge, so I feel more like myself. And I got some cleaning done, not just cooking! More needs doing, of course, but it's a good start.

Isn't that a Seinfeld bit from back in the day? "Just bring me a hot beverage so I can talk to my friend"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, what would make that picture steampunk?

Because books.
The leather corset is the only thing that sort of says steampunk to me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Does this picture look like steampunk or simply period?
Period, with a love of corsets as outerwear.
