You want me to remember an actual name?
I mean, you don't have to, but she is great. Here she is on Rock Hudson: [link]
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

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.

Because books.
I had not heard of her, Jesse! I'll look for her other stuff.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
She has a PhD, in gossip! (she really does)

Seriously? That's sort of cool.

Punishingly Intricate
Buzzfeed has been cultivating serious journalistic talent for a while now I thought.

""Brangelina" first decimated the gossip landscape 12 years ago"
Made me think of how irritated ita would have been (at that horrible mis-use of "decimate"). I was a little annoyed on her behalf.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

OK, that's awesome.
That was a strikingly bad use of decimate. Even for the more or less accepted modern meaning it didn't make sense, really.
ETA: what I was actually coming in here to say: have successfully changed my start time, yay! That's one thing my employer is very good about, although they are a bit behind the times wrt working remotely, I think (we can, if we have to, but we can't do it regularly. Which is silly, if you ask me, but that's the policy)
Also, coworker across the aisle has declared that my stripey pants are hypnotic and distracting, as expected. I told him he was lucky I didn't pair them with other striped clothes or his head would explode.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I would like to wear a muumuu to work and see if anyone notices. It's that kind of workplace.
