hip deep in pie

Is it a cruise????

As long as it's a transatlantic one with air/rail links to Paris.

I keep applying for these Int'l Org jobs. Mostly because I'm like...oooh, I'd like to live in Brussels or The Hauge for two years!

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

Oh, right, budgeting is totally something I need to do...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I need a more professional way to say "I am rejecting this video because this ass-backwards gender normative bullshit is not appropriate for students or in fact anyone at all."

So if anyone could suggest a classier way to say "ass-backwards gender-normative bullshit" that would be just great.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Am I likely damaging anything by not minding the pain as much as I could

In my unfortunate experience, its possible. And some of that pain could be a pretty constant reminder.

I myself would not cheap out on the movers--having moved many times, it was so incredibly worth it to have other people do it the last time I moved.

Just get written stuff on bonded and insured. I had the most uncompensated damage using movers. Me packing? A pain but awesome on the survivability because I was ... careful. And used 50+ lbs of wrapping paper.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh god, I could not let anyone pack for me. That would make me more crazy than packing for myself. (And packing myself makes me pretty crazy) (I don't like people going through All My Things.)

As long as it's a transatlantic one with air/rail links to Paris.

Good one, good one.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hivemind question: Which is right--I have a sneaky suspicion [that X is going to happen], or I have a sneaking suspicion?

Also, why is it still only Thursday?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

SNEAKING.
