I have to stay, I feel like naming your street Wacker is a recipe for trouble.We named two streets Wacker--upper and lower.

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

msbelle, I vote next time mac's on your last nerve, just disappear into the memories of how silly and sweet he was with Nico & the kids as well as how, erm, patient he was with us in Vegas.
-t, it's been so gross here, most of my showers have been tepid to cold. Even the ones after my swim. Actually, especially those. Even with my house being quite pleasant. Choosing g hot is just not a reasonable option right now.

sarameg makes a good point about how patient he was.
I've been listening to a ton of On Being (today's installment was Elizabeth Alexander who is breathtaking). But she had john a powell on a few weeks ago and he wrote about white privilege in a way that is sitting with me and is such a good explanation. He wrote, "Whiteness is like the invisible presence of the narrator in a story told from the third person point of view.” It's the shaping voice.
Been thinking of that for a while, but your discussion upthread about privilege reminded me of it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
he had unlimited screen time in Vegas, that is honestly all he cares about.
Yes Dana, that one is being stupid. I cannot engage more than I did, no spoons.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You should campaign to rename them Greater Wacker and Lesser Wacker. And possibly Bigger Wacker.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We are trying to arrange to go out of town this weekend, on a bit of whim, to attend the funeral of my friend's father, and the man who officiated at our wedding. It feels like the right thing to do, but it turns out we can't just up and leave town on a whim. Who knew? But I think it'll all work out. That's been my mantra this summer, and so far so good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The cool bath is by far the most effective means of cooling off I have at my disposal (without driving somewhere and/or spending money) but my tub remains egregiously uncomfortable.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
"Whiteness is like the invisible presence of the narrator in a story told from the third person point of view.”
There's an urban London fantasy series (Rivers of London, I think, but I have a fever) in which the protagonist describes every person they come across in a police sort of way as black or white, and it gave me a sudden revelation that most books only point out nonwhiteness.
