I think today I will secretly be costumed as Angel's aura. Kinda beige.

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.
I'm so sorry, sarameg.
Dog does not think I should be catching up with Buffistas. She also did not like me sleeping in on my day off. She's not going to like going to the vet later, either, I suspect.
But it's a lovely day here and we're going for a run. And after the vet we'll go practice some agility.
My condolences, Sara.
I'm so sorry for your loss, sarameg.
JFC my SiL has been arrested for vehicular homicide. I am having trouble reacting to that.
Oh dear, -t! How truly awful for everyone.
Oh jeez. ~Ma to you and your loved ones, -t and sarameg and smonster.
Oh my god, -t, that's awful!
So I thought I was coming here with an awful thing to post, but so much less awful than that! Nevertheless, I will post it. I just heard the most racist conversation I've heard in a long time! Will represent with fake names. Ann, a senior person, is in the lobby meeting a visitor, John. Ann's assistant is also standing there. Ann says, "John, I'd like to introduce my new assistant, Jen Wong. Oh! John, you studied East Asia, right? ... I mean, not that that's the only thing about you, Jen! But you do speak Mandarin, right?" As I'm walking away, I hear John trying, and apparently failing, to say something in Mandarin.
I am MORTIFIED. And will try to remember to bring this up in the Microaggressions session I'm going to next week, although honestly, that felt bigger than micro.
Yeah, I feel like I should have a more finely tuned response than "This is horrible" but I don't. And my brother is in Texas, I can't just go, like, be there with him. Argh.
