See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Our wings are not tired.

It is a really long time to not hear from him. Maybe someone did snag his phone while he was in a weakened state.

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

I generally try to practice compassion, but I do hope that man suffers. And if he just shuts up and stays out of sight for a while, that might go a long way.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I have a non-Roomba that I still haven't set up - don't ask how long - in my defense, the house is so cluttered, I'm afraid it won't be able to get anywhere. Which, now that I think about it, as a defense does not actually make me look better, I suppose.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

If my Bible-thumping relatives say anything to me about Twitler being the "chosen one" I'm going to point out that he was struck with a plague within a couple days of refusing to condemn white supremacy and calling out to gun-toting Neo-Nazis to stand by for him, and how I recall a few precedents for similar things happening to wicked rulers in the Old Testament.

Apparently Jesus said "Look, I'm all for forgiveness and everything, but even I only have so many cheeks to turn!" and woke his dad up from a peaceful nap.

Yes, I hate that my policy of never wishing anyone ill has become a thing of the past for the last 4 years. At least I don't wish him dead (because it might garner GOP sympathy for the election, not because I've improved as a person, but, hey, baby steps!)

ET - my plan re: clutter and the non-roomba is to get one room cleared and set the machine loose in there - and hope that inspires me to get other rooms ready. The kitchen is pretty ready as-is.

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

Timelies all!

Another difference between me and Trump? My latest COVID test was negative.

I have a number of blockades to keep my non-roomba from getting stuck under things. It's a bit of a process, but worth it.

Woo for negativity!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Found a silver lining to celibate state: every few months someone in the dna unit (where I work) will need a variety of body swabs for validation or training purposes. And I can reliably contribute semen free vaginal samples. (Usually the specific need are semen fee vaginal swabs, and semen samples. I can't help with the second, but there are plenty of semen-producers working here. Also, that kind of bizarre discussion is one of the reasons I love working here. We are so very clinical about our bodies that it de-stigmatizes lots of topics that would be totally Unacceptable at most workplaces. Except, uh, all my previous workplaces. Or maybe I just don't give enough fucks about filters?
