Ohio dwellers: I will be making a donation to an activist organization in Ohio on behalf of my parents as a Christmas gift. What would be best? Local chapters of NARAL? PP? ACLU? Supporting a Dem candidate running in 2018? I want to put my money where it needs to be the most.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Tom, I'm sorry, that sounds really hard. I hope Christmas finds you in pleasant company, however that manages to happen.
-t, I'm glad the self-care is working!

Nora, I gave it some thought, and I think Planned Parenthood is the best option, honestly.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There's a complete jackass Republican running against Sherrod Brown next year, so Brown's campaign would also be a good one.

How many tantrums can one toddler have before her momma has had one cups tea?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
It certainly feels like infinity today.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The a-a-answer, my friend, is blo-o-owing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind.

The mom across the street who screams at her kids continues to be the actual worst. Their city-issued garbage cart sits at the curb all the time (we're supposed to only have it at the curb for trash day, and people can get fined for leaving it out), and for the last 2-3 weeks it's been overflowing with garbage, so the lid has been sitting open.
Last week we had a crazy night of super high winds, and the next morning the lawn of the house across the street for Horrible Garbage Mom was COVERED in trash. The thing is, that house is a rental, and right now there are no tenants. So the lawn is STILL covered with trash, because of course Horrible Garbage Mom didn't clean it up. (Honestly, I thought she would force her kids to clean it up, but I was super naive to think she would take any kind of responsibility for anything. If she doesn't take responsibility for her kids, of course she won't take responsibility for her trash blowing all over the damn street.)
I've talked with some of the neighbors, and we all really hate this woman. No one knows what slum lord owns the house, so we can't even try to talk to the landlord. I looked on the auditor's website, and it seems that a 96-year-old man owns the house. My guess is that he is not the actual landlord/property manager, because he's 96 years old. So that's a dead end.
