Seriously, Suzi? WTF.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'll take news about over-reactions anyday, while I wish that things like that didn't require reactions at all.
When I was in highschool, and my lil'bro was in sixth or seventh grade, he decided a little show and tell would be cool. This involved a bb gun. Kids on the bus reported him, he and Dad had a wonderful bonding experience at the gun range as part of the community service and gun safety. I don't know what that would have looked like today, but it wouldn't have been pretty.
There's dumb kids doing harmless shit, and dumb kids doing harmful things. I don't know what the answer is.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I once brought a hunting knife to school as a prop in my mafioso-styled interpretation of the Roman Dictator Sulla. The teacher was a bit alarmed when I produced it, but nothing went any further.

CJ took his grandfather's Vietnam era Bowie knife to school earlier this year. He talked to his teacher about it before hand. Took it straight to the school office for them to keep until the class where he was sharing it and returned it to the office directly after. Wasn't an issue at all. Kinda surprised me actually.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I tried to move some stuff, am now untrying. But there's a lag of maybe ten minutes.
