In better news: I used all the juices from cooking my ham in this split pea soup and left a LOT of meat on the bone and it is really quite delicious. The ingredients are just split peas, ham leavings, a few carrots I had lying around, and water.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The first episode of Galavant's second season is called "A New Season aka Suck It Cancellation Bear".

Two great songs in it, too. And Joshua Sasse bagged a pop star fiancee out of the "Off with His Shirt" number!

Punishingly Intricate
I know there are teachers here and am wondering if I might do anything here. A friend of S's in school (actually his BFF) is a behavior issue in class. He is a 7YO black male in 1st grade. The way they are handling it seems cruel to me and it is not making the situation better. They punish him by excluding him from events when he misbehaves (there was a Fun Run recently and this child wasn't there - missed it due to behavior issues)
Not a teacher, or a parent, but that punishment seems like it wouldn't be productive to me either. I do have several friends who are teachers of kids that age and I could pose your question to them as a hypothetical. If you wanted me to.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Wow, Sasse is only 28? He looks way older than 28.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Here's a little bit of goodness: I called our small town's Diversity Coalition to see if they needed any volunteers. The woman I talked with said she'd had so many calls from people asking the same thing, she was bringing it at the board meeting later in the week. She took my number so she could call back when she had something. It made me tear up just a bit. People are stepping up.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's lovely, Andi. Thanks for sharing it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats, Callaluna.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks, Andi, that's good to hear.

I am so tired of life being so uncertain. I interviewed for that job September 12 and still have not heard. And now we have to worry about mr. flea losing his job due to the EPA being abolished.
