Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

You don't have to, of course. It's neat that they are leading off with "how much money can we give you" though

Librarian Warlord

Also, I still buy Nolo books regularly for my library, and you should see if you can find a copy in yours, maybe: [link]

Also, to state the obvious: You can wait to answer them until you've thought about it, and you can ask questions before you give them an answer.

Our wings are not tired.

I was wondering if you would be open to selling your photos.

Foamy!

Watching the hearing, but I am an hour behind. Work keeps interfering.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Grassley needs to have a stroke and die and exit planet earth.

This is a watershed moment in American history. We're watching a Cartesian shift happen in real time. All of these incidents - the victim statement of the woman Brock Turner assaulted, Weinstein, Cosby, the Kavanaugh hearings.

Not like everything will change over night, but going forward certain stances will be completely untenable.

"He said/she said" is right out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think that's naive.

What is a Cartesian shift?

Come back to me when white men don't get a "pass" for choking a woman of color to unconsciousness in order to masturbate on her. [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think that's naive.

I just don't think that line of attack on women will be credible. You already seen it with Kavanaugh's argument that he believes Dr. Ford was assaulted, but he wasn't the one to do it.

Come back to me when white men don't get a "pass" for choking a woman of color to unconsciousness in order to masturbate on her.

I didn't say we've solved misogyny, racism and sexual violence!

I'm just sensing a shift in how the discussion will be framed going forward.

I do think it has having an effect: [link]

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I suspect a number have seen this, but it's still nice. Although it does make me want a cat nap ....
