Speaking of the internets, I ended up telling my mother about FCM and also DINAO last night. The only horrifying part was when I was trying to come up with an example for DINAO and I said GWB or Jeb! and my mother was like, "That one's easy! Obviously Jeb."
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, 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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm sorry, Theo
Yelling at people to get up is bad for my personal calm, and I won't do it.
It's bad for mine too and yet I find myself doing it. It's become pretty toxic and makes me feel sick for many hours afterwards. I should follow your lead and let folks get to school and work late. Or go in pjs or whatever.
I am having massive angst because I have a possible opportunity to help edit a book that, in theory, would be right within my wheelhouse -- science writing aimed to appeal to a general audience -- but I have zip zilch and squat in terms of writing samples to give him. Ugh. Seriously how have I thrown my career in the toilet like this? And what the hell have I been doing with my life? Double ugh!

That is hilarious. In her defense, you did take Death off the table.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Don't beat yourself up, Burrell. That does sound like a cool opportunity!
I have marked that sarcasm story to read later. So interesting! Already I am all "dudes in the 1500s already needed sarcasm punctuation? Damn."

Agreed, but probably one I will miss out on -- and rightly so -- because I have nothing to demonstrate that I can do it. And that's all on me.

She didn't think it was a terrible option! Things I didn't need to know about my mother: would fuck Jeb Bush.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Lots of purrs for Chumley.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I will not do a FCM with the three Bush men. Nope nope nope. Not gonna happen.
Unrelatedly, I made it through half of the work day before my headache made me go home. I am counting that as a win.
