If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Do you have taskrabbit near you? You could get someone to do the transport pretty cheap I'd think. The painting too if you wanted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Does Ian live in Virginia?

Because books.

Aw, I liked the kitten stories.

Job ~ma, Jilli!

Clocking out for the day has rarely felt as good as it did today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh taskrabbit is an interesting idea. I can't drive a truck, but I can pay for one and help move the table. I will figure this out! Being a grownup is hard.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Job~ma for Jilli!

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

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

"Cleopatra was white, so all ancient Egyptians and their gods were white, as far as I was told by the black girl I worked with."

Cleopatra was a Ptolemy, and therefore of Macedonian descent. She doesn't really provide a point from which to extrapolate to the Egyptian populace.

'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"

Alas, SC the last I heard. He's also got leukemia at the moment.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I think the interview went well. Now to wait for a follow-up from the HR person about if they want to bring me in for an interview loop.

One of the amusing things about the PNW tech industry: the chances are good you will end up talking to someone who also worked at Enormous Tech Company, and you will have common ground talking about frustrating situations.

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

So...although I'm up for a good adaptation/translation, doing a US version of Broadchurch and signing Tennant as the lead is kinda not even trying.

(Please keep the accent).

She doesn't really provide a point from which to extrapolate to the Egyptian populace.

You try and explain it to the person who doesn't care who brought it up who keeps arguing with me and explaining that Egyptian art is non-representational and therefore they could all still be white (don't google fifth dynasty sculpture if you want to stay on her side). She then posted this [link] which cracks me up for two reasons--I swear the guy on the left is a brother, and...my name is right there in the middle!
