Oh my god, that's so terrible.
I'm in a downstairs apartment, so solar tubes and skylights aren't an option now,
I did just google a page that says you could put the tube down through a closet or something, but probably not if you're renting!
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heather, I've said this elsewhere, but I am so sorry. That's so awful.
And it may not be lesbian separatist, be we already kind of live in a group of apartments that's 75% women, and feels commune-esque sometimes? (Though we do like our own spaces a whole lot!)

I always thought the commune part of the deal would be hard on introverts. So from my perspective we have the best of both.

Say, Steph, are you familiar with Belt Magazine? [link] It's about living in the rust belt, and it has material on three Ohio cities. While there's a bit on the challenges of living in the area, there's a lot on the reasons people stay. I'm enjoying the Detroit area stuff, myself.

I adore Oliver Jeffers' work and I have a fairly embarrassing crush on Ben Hatke
Oliver Jeffers is not hard to look at. IJS. Ben Hatke won her over because he knew the origin of her name and what it meant. (https://www.facebook.com/takomaparklibrary/photos/pcb.1041468295884221/1041465932551124/?type=3&theater)
I suspect all these visits have something to do with the fact that Karen is on the Caldecott Committee this year.
I am never, ever going to catch up at work.

I was always told that California snails are escargot snails that escaped into the wild like Australian rabbits. And not to eat them because pesticides, but if you do eat them put them in a cornmeal rich environment for a while to somehow purify them, like, they eat the cornmeal and it soaks up the toxins before passing on through? IDK, but MAYBE COFFEE WORKS TOO AND THAT SNAIL KNOWS IT?
Mmm, coffee infused escargot, that sounds like a must to try.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Calli, I'm so sorry. That's really awful for everyone in the circle.
