On the trigger warnings thing, I do think the proposed Oberlin guidelines are somewhat eyeroll-inducing, but, well, it's Oberlin. I took one class in college where we watched the rape scene from The Accused, and our professor gave us a warning and told us that, if we wanted to step out of the room at any time, it was OK, and I was VERY glad that she had prepared us and told us that stepping out was OK. (I watched the beginning of it, but then it got to be too much, so I went out in the hall until the scene was over.)
Zoe: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. Wash: Yeah, we should start dealing in those black-market beagles.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I found myself muttering "I am going to kill you all" under my breath, so I'm making myself take a break to eat a giant taco salad.
Everything is on fire.

So many of the "stars" look significantly older than I think of them -- but then, they wouldn't exactly be made up for a period-true tintype.

Did I mention that I have dentist appointment this afternoon? At this point I'm looking forward to having a good excuse for not responding to IMs.

I'm having an imposter complex day with a side of princess and the pea. Asked to switch hotel rooms cause I was just above the conference center's industrial fans which kept me from smelling well. Chick at the desk wanted to help but couldn't understand my problem and thus wasn't sure where to move me.

Thanks, le nubian.
I'm getting a lot better at letting go of crap that's outside of my control. The situation is stressful, but I'm recognizing when I get agitated and taking a break to calm down.
Meditation, man. I guess it works.

Me too!
I am not sure if the stars look older because they are not made up, or if the tintypes make people look rougher than usual (meaning that maybe people didn't look so old at a young age in the olden days!)
