Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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

Happy Birthday, Trudy!!

I buy my honey from local beekeepers, precisely because I want to make sure I'm getting actual honey, not honey-flavored corn syrup.

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

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

Same here. Also, because the honey purveyors at the farmer's market are awesomely snarky, and they carry honey straws. Which are fantastic.

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

So I got about 10.5 hours of sleep in total.

Oh, I really hate you right now. I'm in the dead zone between sleep prescriptions which my doctor damned well exists but somehow we fail to address the OBVIOUS IMPLICATIONS of intermittently taking an extra half dose.

I've seen some horrible sheep-shearing videos--a lot of cruelty can go into your wool when they just cut and disregard flesh wounds.

I'm allergic to wool so it's a non-issue for me, but I think if I were buying it to work with I might try sourcing ethically.

It boggles me how silk can even come up in same conversation, but I'm pretty pro-mammal anti-bug even though I eat and wear the former with abandon. I mostly have "we need them" feels about bees, not actual empathy for the organism.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

We actually have a friend with 3 hives of angry hybridized bees in his backyard, and whenever possible I get my honey from him. So I feel SUPER responsible, having actually checked out the hives (from a distance, because oh my god those bees are angry) and his honey-harvesting setup.

Because books.

Why are they angry, Tep?

It's taken me 2 hrs of "jeez, that's a low, loud plane" goldfish "jeez, that's a low, loud plane" goldfish to DUH. Blue Angels' practice for this weekend's airshow. Which I was fully aware of.
