I'm reading the Ta-Nehisi Coates' piece in the Atlantic. I assume it is stirring controversy somewhere, but it's so well reasoned and meticulously constructed.

Because books.
I just opened that to read this evening, but I think it's going to wait till morning. My brain is tired.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I just finished the first section - I feel like I need to take it slow and not allow myself to skim a single paragraph, and keep Word open so I can take notes on all the books I need to hunt down for further reading.

What is most interesting, having just finished the entire article, is how his argument isn't just about slavery bad, but he so carefully explains the dots of economic subjugation that have been a result of carefully constructed 20th century policy.
It is uncomfortable to read.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It was uncomfortable, and I oddly read it while taking the bus through a neighborhood that I presume was redlined

It's a brilliant article, but I fear it's wasted on too much of the American punditry.

Saragmeg, A quick google seems to show lots of methods. Ask someone who knows what they are doing about the risk. Most popular: Clean well. Apply acetone to make colors run and fill in scratches. Apply wax and protective coatings, cause acetone will remove wax and other protective coatings. I don't vouch for this and do NOT know enough about cars to say whether this is a good idea or not or what the risk is. [link]
If keying left scratches too deep for this apparently paint dealers can match car paint. [link]
I do know that if the match is not exact, it can make it look worse.
Again, not reccing any of this = just what google shows. Run these by somebody who knows autos, which is definitely NOT me.

I seem to remember Maria (MFNlaw) being super knowledgeable about cars. And isn't there a Buffista whose DH writes an auto column?

not your mom's socks.
Skimming like it's a thing.
Sarameg, ugh, I'm sorry about the keying.
JZ, I hope this doesn't come off wrong, but I'm glad you got angry.
Pix, all the iTino resistant strength to you. I remember having conversations like that at ECN, but repercussions? Do not like the sound of that.
ita! Accomodations should carry over? Right?
Yay msbelle!
SuziQ I hope your teeth are feeling better.
In Soxland, we get a Raq and a Mallory in @ 7 hrs and there is excitement being had. I just need to turn around Impossible Thing 1 and Almost Finished Thing 2 and then I can pack.
