I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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

Yay, someone noticed my pi shirt, and that made him realize it was 3/14. I have served a purpose today.

Our wings are not tired.

I just saw the reports of the Boston kids coming to school on the snow day to protest. So proud of them.

The idea of a "perp walk" just reminds me too much of all the Hillary-haters out there who want her to be doing the same thing/photoshop her in a jumpsuit/chant "lock her up" etc. :(

I'd be happy if we just didn't have him and the accompanying madness anymore--I don't want impeachment hearings, I don't want headlines, I just want it over....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Perp walk gives too much attention to his narcissistic ass. Worse for him and better for the rest of us if he just disappears. Never gets his face on TV again, quietly rots in prison forever.

Did you know that ALL of MA's congressional delegation gets 0s from the NRA?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

My kiddo walked out with most his school. I told him to call me if anyone gave him any shit.

...I had to go to urgent care, because my arm was constantly cramping and I was in a lot of pain. Pinched nerve. I'm on the first pills I've taken in over two years besides Tylenol or ADs (I asked for a very limited supply, just till I can get to a chiro) -- Flexeril and Vicodin (10 Flex and 6 Vicos) and boy howdy, I have no tolerance anymore. But I'm snuggled with my heating pad, the pup, one cat and re-runs of Bones, and my shoulder and arm is starting to ease a bit. Have Rx Aleve to take daily until I can get into chiro...I've never been to one.

I'm freaking out a bit about being sidelined for the rest of the move, but D says I've been working my ass off so I'm to "sit my stoic, stupid ass down and quit aggravating your shoulder and quit worrying -- I'll take care of shit."

OK. Officially looped.

"sit [your] stoic, stupid ass down"

Should be engraved on cards to be handed to spouses as need be.

...you ain't wrong.

I plead fiscal responsibility and bullheadedness.

Thrive to spite them

The high school in town was going to walk out but school was cancelled today because of icy road conditons for about 1/3 of the bus routes.

The college had a walk out. I think the high school one had been rescheduled. In a local FB groups there were adults who wanted to go nd show their support bit were asked to not show up at my of the public schools. I don't know if the middle or elementary school students were going to do anything.

Last Sunday I had dinner meat my bf's brother's house and in their doing room is a gun case and very pro 2 Amendment signs. It's very hunting themed in there with taxidermy animals and hunting bows on the walls. I didn't anything.

My bf has guns and like them. We have had several intense discussions about guns and he does support gun safety laws to a degree but he also want a a concealed permit.

It's one of the issues where we have different views that I wonder if it will be a deal breaker at some point.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Sigh...once again, I am without pie on Pi Day.
