Gud, are you trying to start a riot??

Please, if I was trying to start a riot I would have said cilantro was refreshing, tangy, and good.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

All transcripts of Donald Trump's speeches should be required to use comic sans.

The one true use.

Donald Trump in comic sans would be so perfect.

What is the twirling twirling towards freedom thing from? The Simpsons?

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

Yes. Kang or Kodos said it.

Kang: My fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball; but tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

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

I want the Comic Sans font. How are you doing this witchcraft, Gud?

Is that something you can do with CSS? Change Comic Sans into something else? Or change everything into Comic Sans?

ahhhh, the meeting from Hades. My boss was running it (you know it's a disaster right there). The Webex didn't work, so the telecommuters were just sitting there, waiting for it to connect and it never did. They tried to call in, unaware she'd changed the conference code. We always use the same one; people have it programmed into their phones. But she changed it, and so they couldn't hear the meeting either. People were messaging me in confusion and by the time they were in, the important part of the meeting was over, and now no one knows how to do the new thing that's about to be implemented. I didn't hear it either, because I was so busy trying to get other people into the meeting! Just... honestly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I've seen this shared on FB, but I don't think it's popped up here. A discussion on "emotional labor" and how it almost always falls to women and is devalued.

It makes me think of how, when my grandfather was in a nursing home, my grandmother expected that my mother would do the majority of X, Y, and Z, even though my uncle was just as accessible.
