Y'all are making me hungry.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Coworkers remarked on the healthiness of the small Greek salad I was bringing back to my desk. I told them it was better than faceplanting a bag of potato chips. They were all, "Ha ha, I don't know how you find the willpower!"
Ho ho, I don't know? The same place I find the willpower not to fling what I'm carrying at your faces and run screaming from the elevator? Because the other options are things like unemployability and death?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Not much going on here, other than me trying not to panic that it's less than two weeks until Contata, where I am Listener Guest of Honor. I know what I need to do, I'm just being a bit of a slacker.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
assuming sugar is vegan
maybe/kinda/sometimes. A lot of the white sugar that you buy in the US is processed using animal bones. Not all brands, though. There's a list somewhere of which brands do and which don't, but I don't really buy enough white sugar to know. The kind that's a little bit off-white or tan, rather than totally white, is vegan. Some vegans will only eat stuff that they're sure is made with sugar not processed that way, but a lot don't mind it, since avoiding processed sugar means avoiding practically everything that you didn't cook yourself.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I suppose that leaves in HFCS?
I have an actual phone screen interview on Thursday. Maybe the job dam is finally breaking up. Or I'll just get all excited about a prospective job and have my heart broken again.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good luck, Theo!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Theo!
Someone wrote in to the Good Stuff to complain about the girl who cooks, because what about all the girls who do great things in STEM, etc. Dude! I feel like I have those girls all the time, too! Crikey.

That person is unclear on the concept of Good Stuff.

Because books.
We do! Plus, that girl is raising money for charity, and she's like eleven or something!
People. Don't be gross.
