Dentist visit went way better than anticipated. No fillings, just a treatment for his molars (since the boy sprouts cavites like whoa). phew!
Now I need to go back to researching new/used cars, and figuring out where to get the Malibu painted. Oy!
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

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.

OK, Ravelry, why all the chat about porn sites?
I think I like these people.

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

Brenda, it's you who knows the Rishi person, right? Well, they pass.
I tried the low gly dark chocolate cookies with cherries instead of cranberries (the recipe calls for chocolate chips, but I don't like them), and it tastes much better. Enough that I will start doubling the recipe, because making 11 cookies at once is not getting me anywhere.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Someone at work sent out an email announcing an optional session about being a good ally to the LGBT community. Someone responded (to the entire list), "Since it is now known that the most ardent discriminations are not against the categories that you have mentioned—but, rather, are aimed at Atheists, could you include that in your training sessions and discussions?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh dear.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
People are pretty shitty to/about atheists, but maybe that could be a separate topic instead of folding it into LGBT.

Yes.
Whales are discriminated against (because, you know, they get killed). Maybe include that in an LGBT session.
Sone whales are LGBT, I bet.

Yeah, and I wouldn't expect the people who are preparing a session about LGBT to be able to just throw in another mostly-unrelated topic. (Like, I've seen people who are really good at feminist and LGBT ally stuff try to talk about antisemitism and ended up looking like asses, just because they didn't know a lot of stuff, and "Here's how to be an ally to group A" doesn't always translate into "Here's how to be an ally to group B," other than the obvious really basic stuff.)

Maybe 10 minutes on atheist LGBT (see? not even Q!) people will be the sop they need. Their issues must be so much different (worse?) than the average.
