Right? Like, I'm a big fan of style guides, and I'm happy to bitch about people who argue with me about them, but you might as well wish for a self-cleaning house.
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The face I am making, you guys. That is a statement that is right up there with "Everyone will help create and update a terminology list!"
Oh man, Biyi is involved in something much like one of those at the moment. She and some other interpreters are trying to create a glossary of legal terms and good Chinese translations thereof. The drama involved! The (mole)hills people choose to die on! Oh, and the snide passive-aggressiveness, that one's always fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm impressed you're still hanging in up north, Laura! You must be freezing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Is it really going to snow? I need to find shoes that are not flip flops. Today I work fleece leggings and flip flops.

Our wings are not tired.

Brendon put in a new breaker and ran a new dedicated outlet for a space heater in the bedroom for us today! (if there are 2 space heaters on the same breaker it pops) Still not going to make it more than a week.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
One of my crew got hurt today. The last I heard was that urgent care was sending him to the ER for x-rays and a CT scan, with some concern that there could be kidney damage. Here's hoping it's just some unpleasant bruising.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh no! Yes, I hope it's not too bad.

Just got word that he's "not broken" so I guess that means x-rays are done. No mention of kidneys, so I'm gonna take that as a good sign. It sounds like pain and swelling are localized to his hip now, which he is supposed to rest for a few days before reassessing.
The medical stuff will be covered by workmen's comp, but he's hourly so he won't have income for the rest of the week (at least). I may see if our coworkers want to contribute toward some food delivery gift cards.

Ooh that sucks. I am very glad that this injury should not really hurt my life financially or work-wise. Poor guy.
