aurelia, you're not responsible for what comes out of other people's mouths.
His sense of entitlement is ridic.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
There is a bigger conversation that I wish we could get into, but there isn't enough space for even the basic nuance of what's going on in this, very simple, conversation. All this exercise is doing is saying, hey, you've heard that it happens to most women, but you don't believe it, so here's a chance for the actual women in your life to show you that it does, in fact, happen to them. Dassit. But that's still too much to take for these dudes.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That's the point I tried to make to him.
I've been making a concerted effort to not follow tangents in online arguments. I wasn't ignoring any of you, just trying to keep my part of the discussion as linear as possible.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
No, I think that was good.

I love you all.
And now I must sleep because in addition to the focus call I have to supervise tomorrow, I also have to talk to the HR rep of a vendor about the inappropriate comment one of their employees made about me to one of my colleagues.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha! Because of course you do!
Get some rest. Be fortified, we've all got your back.

Homework. I'm still doing homework. Ugh. The brain just isn't working.
I figured out how to request a doctor's appointment online. On top of the depression and thinking my citalopram has finally quit on me, I've had a swollen set of nerves in my face, along my jawline. A couple of months ago, we upped my Lyrica thinking that this was my trigeminal neuralgia flaring up. Well, the pain is gone, but the swelling has not gone away and is still tender to the touch. Plus today I realized that my smile is somewhat lopsided. I had Kelly check it out today and she thinks I need to ask for a referral to a neurologist.
So, the brain is a bit preoccupied. I have 3 more sections to write in the next hour. Arrrggggg.

Our wings are not tired.
This morning out of curiosity I wanted to see the FB count on MeToo - [link]
Over 6,700,000 Conversation is good.
eta: in the minute it took to write and post and go back over 7 million.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I wonder what the Twitter count was (that's where I'm comfortable with it).
