Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My head is getting better, and I'm done with ECT. I'm scared that people at work will think I'm nuts.

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

Someone just left a comment on Flickr: "sehr schöne Aufnahme, RESPEKT". I guess I have street cred in Leipzig now.

Also, my whole world is askew now: It turns out Kelis actually hates milkshakes.

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

Thanks, guys.

As far as disability goes, I need to get out and contribute to society or I might as well take all the pills. I can't just stay home, in a less nice home able to purchase less nice hobbies and stuff.

Not to mention the paranoia I'd go to the back of the medical line--as is I can't convince anyone I go into methadone withdrawal this week unless they start giving a fuck.

No fucks are on the horizon, so if I am quiet, you'll know what I'm working through.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My head is getting better, and I'm done with ECT.

This is very good news!

I'm scared that people at work will think I'm nuts.

They won't. You know why? You used science to get better. They respect science.

An exciting triple post! Why thank you Chromebook.

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

I guess I have street cred in Leipzig now.

Now that's impressive.

I wish I had any sort of help to offer, ita. I am hoping real hard that something comes along.

I'm glad your head is getting better, Allyson. Try not to worry about what other people think - I know that's easier said than done but it's still a good idea, since it's hard to even know what other people think and you can't do much about it, really.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm scared that people at work will think I'm nuts.

How many people know about it? (And is your workplace gossipy?) But really, fuck them if they think it's weird to get medical treatment for a medical condition. Do they throw eggs at cancer patients? (Oh god, they don't, do they?)

Someone just left a comment on Flickr: "sehr schöne Aufnahme, RESPEKT". I guess I have street cred in Leipzig now.

Okay, Mr. Fancy Pants. (Or, I should say, Mr. Fancy Lederhosen.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm glad that treatment is finished and that you are starting to feel better, Allyson.

ita, I am so sorry to hear about UCLA.
