Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Art Crawl!!!

Zen - that is terrible. . . and I just imagine that Icelandic medicine is better than the average USian experience.

Also - Chicago posted the climate change stuff that the EPA had to take down on it's website. Have other cities done something similar?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm not convinced he can spell "long game", let alone play one.

Pretty sure he can spell "screw you, Trump," though. I suspect it's more about that than any great environmental awakening.

CJ and I were in my credit union, which is in my office building, to get him a new debit card. We ran into my great, great, grand-boss. I introduced CJ to F and he said some of the kindest words about me and my role in the company. That was a couple of hours ago and I'm still blushing.

Our wings are not tired.

Nice to have your awesomeness recognized!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

This feels so weird to type, but go Rick Perry!

askye, it's great that you are finally learning to believe in what others see about you. I've had a similar breakthrough, myself. I think it's part of why I'm able to start my own company.

Yay Suzi! You are a badass and he knows it.

I had a good day. Long and sweaty and tough, but good. Still need to do an hour or so of work tonight, but right now I'm relaxing with two eps of Blackish and mezcal in Blood Orange Soda.

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.

That is lovely, Suzi.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

askye, it's great that you are finally learning to believe in what others see about you. I've had a similar breakthrough, myself. I think it's part of why I'm able to start my own company.

Seriously, that's a really great thing! For both of you! askye, you've been making progress and not giving up, and that's hard shit you're working through. It makes you a badass. And smonster, starting your own company is leveling up in a MAJOR way, but you really do have the skills and experience to offer a high-quality service that people need. And that makes YOU a badass.

I think it should go without saying that breaking a leg in Iceland is Automatic Badass Status.

Frankly, we are all badasses in our own way. Unless you don't want to be a badass, in which case you don't need to claim that status. You can just be you, and you'll still be my people, badass or no.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

This badass can't sleep because her foot hurts. I'm maxed out on painkillers til morning.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My wheelchair was delivered today, but the battery wasn't. The shipment tracker thing says the battery should get here tomorrow, so I can actually try it out then. For now, I tried sitting in it, and I think I'm going to need to add an extra cushion to the back, but I think it will work out.

Thrive to spite them

Hil, sorry the battery is sent separately. I hope that it really works well for you.
