Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If you want, you should totally be able to do replacement spending on like pasta and toilet paper.

They have furniture too.

I have no interest in a rabbit

these words make no sense.

They do if you've been around a pet rabbit long-term. I have for two, one a slothful giant rabbit that was basically an unresponsive pellet machine, and my cousin's tiny pet that was much more active but a biter (basically trying to pet him would give me flashbacks to this scene). Not worth it unless you have a fenced-in yard you can keep them in. And possibly a hand grenade.

As a kid, rabbits were not fun pets. There was no bond, or play. Petting was pretty much all we could do (if you ignore when we tortured them by bouncing them in a trampolined blanket, such awful kids we were).

There, see? No rabbits.

I may just mentally adopt some of the local wild turkeys.

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

Aw, I had a pet rabbit who was a sweetheart. And my sister has one now who plays with the dog, it's quite amusing. Rabbits vary.

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

Pyromaniac alert: [link] Also chemists. I think I've watched 12 of his videos so far. I can't but help wonder a) does he live alone and b) does he have a sense of smell?

There's a moment in this [link] where I had the clarity of "meat puppet" and it was almost mentally painful, but mostly they sound deceptively soothing. They should not.

Scrappy, congrats on the new dude working out!

And, pictures? (Matt, you are holding out too!)

Oh so achy. This week has been a wash.

Oh, sweet holy fuck. -t, your name isn't pronounced "negativity" is it? I mean, it's fine if it is, just I would kick myself, am kicking myself, for not having worked out it can be read that way until one minute ago.

Which is not what I came here to post--I came here to mention that Charlie Jane at IO9 had a story optioned by NBC for a series, and it sounds very exciting all round [link]

WHAT.

I never noticed that, either!
