I hear that happens sometimes.
but I think I'm going to read Cog on the way home.
I approve of this plan.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh! You know what I'm especially pissed off about? The disingenuous talking point that it's about "privacy." You know who gets no privacy? People who have to "prove" their gender all the fucking time! For fuck's sake.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I got a ton of paperwork done on the way up here, but I think I'm going to read Cog on the way home.
Both excellent plans
I just went to the library and checked out way more books than I can possibly read at once. Because Not Teaching, so I have time to read for pleasure. I also have Updraft at home, which I plan on savoring.

Yup
Basically I hate the Gender Police and am so glad that I live in weirdo LA where anything goes and the only people who ever make snide comments about my kids and the way they do gender are their RELATIVES. (I don't usually complain about it here because getting mad about it makes it more annoying than just eyerolling it off.)

In other bigoted news, the Black Lives Matter sign at my mother's church was really badly vandalized the other night. In Harvard Square! The most liberal zip code anywhere. Sad. Thanks to the smart thinking of the building administrator, they had a backup on hand.

Boo, Jesse. Damn hateful people. My friend's UU church in DC has had their sign vandalized repeatedly. So dumb.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
My copy of The Jewel and Her Lapidary is in, so I need to go pick that up. And then, you know, read it!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The little guy is getting into everything. He's pulling himself up on things and crawling all over. I have to get up every other minute to keep him from pulling over the trash, or grabbing power cords. I actually uttered the phrase "Socks do not belong in the CD player" last night.
The glamour of parenthood, everyone.
