not your mom's socks.

There are so very few women naval architects and marine engineers that the second-to-last place my sister worked, they had to re-write the staff handbook to include women.

It is still, in some places, bad luck for a woman to touch any moving part on a boat.

My sister has badassed her way through an amazing level of misogyny, stupidity, and comments she should wear a skirt more often.

She's an expert in carbon fiber, wings, and foils. And today, her team won a pretty big race. I'm so unbelievably proud of her. And I just needed to say it somewhere that wouldn't get her in trouble at work.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Tried a chocolate chai latte from Starbucks. Kinda underwhelmed. (Not enough chai)

I made a Jane Eyre joke about the 300 sandwiches guy and no one laughed.

Try the joke on us and see if we laugh.

Someone replied with:

Career man must sort through 300 pairs of jeans to find ones that perfectly fit his girlfriend to earn her marriage proposal

To which I replied:

"Reader, I married him!"

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

Even I get that joke. Come on!

Wait, there are people who DON'T love a "Reader, I married him!" joke? I don't want to know those people.

"Reader, I married him!"

How can you not love a "Reader, I married him!" reference.

You know, somedays I get kind of depressed that I feel permanently single. Then I read about people like the 300 sandwiches couple and I swear I will never date again. Jesus Christ, I would set that guy on fire.
