Cackling forever at your response, msbelle.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
NPR spoke to the governor of NC this afternoon. I spent some quality drive time yelling "Fuck off and DIEEEEE!"

Our wings are not tired.
Back at ya, msbelle. I am thinking I might have to take a FB break again. And spend more time here! There is just too much crazy making stuff there for me. I have blocked a ton of sites that my brother and other friends expose me to, but it isn't enough. It isn't even just all the bigoted stuff and wacko political stuff. There are also the vast quantities of Vegan posts from one friend (seriously I don't need to see the pictures of slaughtered animals every other post, I got it), and a few other perfectly okay causes that other friends just can't seem to show any restraint about. I'm getting cranky apparently.

Everything I attempted today failed until I gave up and left work. I have one load of clean laundry and cats on my lap.

One our seniors is transgender. What's sort of nice about our super alternative SJW staff is that some people want her to speak at graduation because she is transgender and the rest of the staff is all "NO WAY. She's a fucking bitchy bitch. NO WAY." And both groups are really accepting her transgender stuff enough that the discussion revolves around her shitty personality vs. her shitty life stuff. It's pretty funny.

My shelves arrived! I have a sort-of organized garage! Now I just need to decide what to do with some of the extra stuff (like two kitchen chairs) and I can start parking in the garage again. Woot!

Pretty much (although they both have short hair now). Plus there was the whole thing when my toddler boy wore skirts and dresses and my brother and brother-in-law were positive it was going to ruin him in some way. And my girl definitely sees herself on the non-heteronormative tip. I have to say, it's kind of wonderful to watch how much not just the vocabulary but the actual possibilities for negotiating gender and sexuality have changed.

It's true. I couldn't have imagined an LGBTQ Club at my HS, and Matilda has one in her elementary school. (And was doing readings in it to kindergartners the other day.)
