I will acknowledge that I have been told by people who probably know what they are taking about that "this is she" or "it is I" is more correct than "that's her" or "it's me", but deep down I don't really believe it.
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?

not your mom's socks.
I'm having a really hard time with the #yesallwomen pushback myself. Getting a private message about how I'm not allowed to be offended about something crude someone posted on my own facebook wall didn't help either -- bad timing, mostly.
Amy & Beverly, I really like the two wolves thing. I'm going to try to keep that in mind.
ita ! I hope today is better.
-t all the hugs. Thinking about you today.

Is there good timing for being an asshole?

The same Australian dude who used my email address to set up a TripAdvisor account has used my email address to set up an ad to sell his car. So once again I have to stage an account takeover on a not very bright man who drives a Mitsubishi Pajero.

Oh, you website design asshole, your customer support requires a valid LOCAL phone number? UGH.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've stopped worrying about the people who, for example, have their dry cleaning messages sent to me.

oh, -t, hugs for you. I can't believe it's been four years already.
The #yesallwomen tag on Twitter made my head spin (even more!): I couldn't believe the shit I saw some guys posting to it. Had to stop reading for my own good, although like the most of you, I didn't get any pushback from the stuff I RT'd.
ION, it turns out that I'm waaay out on the end of the bell curve for vertigo-reactivity. The swelling in my inner ear got so bad that I ended up in the ER on Thursday, after roughly 36 hours of nonstop nausea/vomiting. I got IV anti-nausea meds and steroids, and they sent me home. It's hard to describe the relief I experienced laying on that ER bed, covered with blankets, and gradually NOT feeling like my body was coming apart.
After that, I cannot imagine how women with chronic nausea get through pregnancy; my SIL ended up with an IV pump of anti-nausea meds for the first half of her pregnancy. Too awful for words.
Anyway, I spent all of yesterday flat on my back, but today I was able to eat something other than applesauce or bananas. Now if only I could walk the dog or something, but I don't think I'm up for that yet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
May you handle your fraughtness with grace and composure, -t.
And exactly the same adjectives to your vertigo, Consuela. My dad's had to be hospitalised a couple times with repetitive labyrhinthtis, and it was about the first times I'd ever seen him sick so it's always struck me as an epically awful thing I couldn't dream of experiencing?
I think my eye has dried up enough I can drive without being a menace. Which is good, because groceries. I now have an apple craving. Whut?
