I stayed home sick from work with a cold today and just spent the day in bed or on the couch, and I swear to god, my mother's feelings are hurt that I didn't tell her I was here. I am rolling my eyes forever. (To be fair, I think she's mostly upset at her sister? But I 100% do not need that shit.)
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I haven't been to any of my HS reunions. There's this...thing about me. When pushed by an adoptee friend to search for my birth family, I thought about it for five seconds and said, "The family I have is exhausting enough. Why would I want more family?" A lot of the time I have to push myself to be engaged with the people I know *and love*--why would I want to reconnect with people who barely knew who I was in HS? There's no payoff there, for me. I mean, I wish them well. But come on--I wasn't noticed enough in HS to be bullied or excluded or targeted in any way. They're not missing me, and I feel no impulse to see any of them again.
You guys? I'll reune with you guys anytime I can.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Four dollars away from free shipping? Oh, fuck you, Macy's.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
OMG Becky, look at her lack of original sin
Ha!
Rice bags! Of course! I can totally make one of those.

Wow, this is some serious BS that pisses me off. I love my library ebooks. I also buy a lot of ebooks. Honestly I think this won't drive sales as much as it will drive piracy...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sucks. What a terrible idea!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So it turns out the author behind the Emo Kylo Ren twitter parody account is...Alexandra Petri!
And now there's blowback.

Huh--googling it looks like that came out in January of 2018....but I love Alexandra Petri and somehow that escaped my notice?

Why blowback?
