Normally, Pumpkin & Loki eat cheek to cheek out of the food dish. But with the cone, Lokes can't get his head in there ( though he tries.) despite the fact he's twice as big as she, he sits there, looking perplexed. He tried to reach a paw in to fish out some food, but oh so tentatively. It's hilarious.
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. Zoe: Shoot 'em? Mal: Politely.

I know that a lot of Buffistas like graphic design, so this is generally interesting Hand Lettered Department Store Logos, but the eighth logo down is particularly interesting.

Here is what I have learned: one of the most common presentations for vertigo is 4-8 weeks post a URI. One guress how I know this. Probably didn't help that I flew to Boston, & Croatia sick. I hope I can get some work done tomorrow; I am already going to have to beg forgiveness from my staff and my Dean.
Wish I could stick around but you all are sort of sideways.

Goldsmith's was awesome before Macy's bought them out.

Oh no, Sparky! Didn't Suela have to go through that too? And Lee, maybe? Goodness!
Best things were pumpkin JoJos, and especially the mini pumpkin ice cream sandwiches on ginger cookies.
I was sorely disappointed in the pumpkin ice cream sandwiches. I much prefer the actual pumpkin ice cream with the thin Anna's gingersnaps, and making my own. Way tastier.

I haven't gotten to TJ's since ltc was born because it is not the market down the street. I have had other people pick up things for me there, but that is not the same as bring able to browse the seasonal stuff myself.

So many memories on that list of store logos, especially Bullocks and Robinsons.

Ah, Sibleys! I can't believe we used to have a beautiful, multi story department store in Diwntown Rochester. It was still around in the late 80s.

So this is blowing up in the Astro community.
Many of my female friendsand acquaintances in astro are publicly stating that they'd been warned away from Marcy early in their careers. Why that underground network rather than through official channels? Well, look how official channels handled it (see 3rd link especially.) Because time and again, the official channels fuck you too. Poor, poor harasser. Let's all cry a tear for his feewings!
ONLY because Marcy is such a public figure is anyone really giving a shit beyond the back channel. If it was just a moderately successful prof, it doesn't hit buzzfeed, the Atlantic and Forbes, to name a few, and he remains, mildly chastened, screwing up lives and careers.

Ugh, that's so fucking depressing, Sarameg. Especially the university response of "this is hardest for him". WTF. No, it's hardest for the women who ended up switching out of science or academia because of him. For the women who never went into it because of men like him. For the women who still shudder at a memory or at the possibilities they thankfully escaped.
