First paycheck celebratory shoes
Oh my god, I love those!
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Oooh, those are some fine shoes!
I only ever had central air once. It was nice at the time, and I probably will go for a wall unit at some point, but I don't think I ned the full shebang here.

I refused to live in an apartment in DC if it didn't have central air. Now I don't have any ac, but it's normally fine. We shall see this summer, when I'm home more than I used to be, how it goes. Otoh, the coworking space I joined does have ac, so I might just hang out there a lot?

I've had my eyes on them since I introduced a college friend to flues and she wore the blue in her wedding.
I won't have central air for some time. Window units manage, sorta. When I decide to drop 15k, I'll get central. But with the window units upstairs making in bearable and electric bills less than central, not in a hurry. Love my tower fans.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Man, I know I hate on humanity a lot, but I'm just sitting here in tears at an amazing example of what doesn't suck about this world. I may cry all over again if I talk about it, but basically, a woman I know who was shot in the Mothers Day second line parade 3 years ago has been an incredible advocate for and has publicly forgiven her shooter(s), speaking up for them at their sentencing and visiting. She just got a letter from one of the brothers/shooters which is full of such regret for his past but a newfound hope for his future based on her faith in his humanity and communication with him.
Yep, crying again. Forgiveness is no joke.

I am on the train to New Haven, where I will have lunch and then get back on the train to come home. One of my mentors is retiring from Yale, and I hope I don't ugly cry.
Nora, that is lovely. Fluevogs do not work for my feet, but I browse them anyway.

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I woke up to Tim telling me (1) there are ants in the pantry (we always seem to get ants in the house around this time every year, according to Facebook's memories feature), and (2) that Slinky is yowling and peeing outside the litter box and maybe she has a UTI and we should take her to the vet.
I am incapable of dealing with any of that before I have at least a gallon of coffee. ("We should take her to the vet" often means "You work from home, so you can take her, right?" NOPE. It's still work even if it's from home. But I will call the vet once all my synapses are firing.)
