Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

Yeah, that's what I expect and it's weighing me down. Maybe if I save my energy today I'll be ready to riot next week.

Sounds like an A paper on women's unpaid labor to me, Jess!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe if I save my energy today I'll be ready to riot next week.

God, yes.

as a mother of sons I needed to understand that girls lie about these things.

Whuuuuuuut.

I am v much at "can't even" levels and thinking I will avoid news all weekend as possible which means fb. And my usual newspaper reading. Ugh.

Our wings are not tired.

FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE

Yeah, pretty much. I read her comment and clicked on her name and unfriended. My tolerance is about zero these days. Usually I unfollow first, but nah, no sense wasting time.

I forgot I was scheduled to work from 12 to 9 today and came in at 10 as usual, so I guess I get overtime. At least I don't have to work tomorrow.

Heads-up if you got logged out of FB today: they've had (another) massive security breach, with something like 90 million users affected. Change your passwords.

And back to the dystopian trashfire: I wanted to watch the Pulp Fiction/Kavanaugh mashup, but seeing his face/hearing his voice gave me a visceral, horrified reaction. I just can't right now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am at least more hopeful than I was before lunch. Yay? Earlier today felt as bad as the day after the election.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I had a blizzard for lunch. Now I want a nap. Going home and cleaning all evening is not my idea of fun.

I have made the decision to cocoon the rest of day. I have cold chicken and cheese puffs to graze on, ice cream in the freezer, an open bottle of pink wine, and a couple of seasons of Elementary to catch up on.
