"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I love it, msbelle.

Punishingly Intricate

That's a beautiful print, msbelle!

I kind of wish we'd gone up to Wilmington tonight but this week's just been too exhausting.

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

The idea hit during the Zoom call, I’m glad they were able to make it happen. I’m collapsed in bed, personally.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I'll be over here pretending we were working on a very Buffista production of Hamilton, when someone spoke Latin in front of the books, so now unless whichever one of you smashes the amulet or gives it back to Sweet, we're gonna have to filk the whole book, in order to send Trump through a portal to prison, a golf course, or a world without KFC.

The code word is "cilantro," dig me? Cilantro.
Now grab your corsets and go man go.

^ brought me so much joy.

Also, sometimes you don't realize just how much anxiety you are carrying in your body until you start to breathe fully again.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Long day and I'm off to bed but I had to pop in and say WOOOO

I can't believe how relaxed I've been today.

I don't know msbelle, it looks awfully dark for curtains to me. Are they going to be thin enough material that light will shine through from the back?

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

Emmett had been avoiding all media in a stoic stone faced way since the election was called, determined to just grind it out to Inauguration Day.

But I called him up just to relate the great Giuliani Press Conference Fiasco at Four Seasons Total Landscaping today and it made him laugh hard for 20 minutes. It was glorious.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hi! Hihihihihihihihi! I am a wee bit manic, which I'll take, since this is the best I've felt in 4 years. Thank goodness there was a fandom thing to take the edge off a couple days ago, otherwise I'd have been running down Market screaming for joy (which I'm sure other people actually did, this is SF).

But seriously, my mom texted me the results this morning as I was walking home from my run, and I yelled YES so loud I'm sure I woke my neighbors.

Also, you are beautiful and I love you very much.

ltc just stamped her feet and said, "I demand more candy!"

sj, every time you post about ltc, I'm torn between "Our daughters must meet ASAP" and "If our daughters ever meet, it will be the death of us".

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That press conference is beyond surreal -- just so pathetic.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

My favorite joke about the press conference, famously located between a sex toy store and a crematorium, called it "the perfect place to go fuck yourself and die."
