Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Thrive to spite them

So there were store level layoffs . People were talking about this at work today.

Yeah our economy was already struggling because it was too based on consuming. And I don't think there are enough people in power who really want to commit to changing things.

It's easy to talk about bringing jobs back as a campaign promises but those people don't want to deal with the reality of what they entails.

They are so tricky. But go you, with the ambition and the rough-puff!

I'm sorry, askye. It's such an uncertain, scary time.

The bakery is closed until Wednesday! I am beyond excited. I'm also going to bake, but probably mundane stuff like banana bread and an apple cake.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

This weekend was supposed to be the Northeastern filk con, aka NEFilk. A virtual version, with plenty of concerts, is happening under the name NEWhere.(Gary is the guest of honor, and has a concert tomorrow.)

Remember Fandom Wank on JournalFen?

It should still exist, just for this Hamilton fic wank that has EVERYTHING. [link]

I've literally never seen the phrase "gentrifying cannibalism" before.

I looked, I had to stop and re-read every few sentences, I blinked at it for a few moments, and then unfortunately remembered that somehow real life politics doesn't make much more sense than this. However, that summary is ******* beautiful. Thank you, Cindy.

Yes, however 2021 is just around the corner.

Edited: In order not to triple post (oops!), I edited another answer into this post. And then again because apparently I'm more tired than I think I am.

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

I went to the grocery store and now I don't want to do anything at all ever again
