Sorry I disappeared abruptly from the Zoom. The Gumball decided that the laptop needed to be closed.
It was good to see everyone!
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Thank you so much for the ~ma. I’m cleared for a year and labeled “dense” but some of you knew that.

Yay and ~ma in quantities. I am skimming here and not responding thoroughly because my brain is busy with being annoyed at the not very bright people I had to work with today and wants them to step barefoot on lego.

That's great, hippocampus!
Since I usually fly up north to spend Christmas with the family, I'm used to shipping stuff up ahead of time. In other years, I'd have a drink with my sister and then have a frenzied round of gift wrapping in her guest room on Christmas Eve before heading out to a party at the in-laws'. I'm going to miss the first and last parts of that.

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

What is even happening?
Joe Biden won the Electoral College (officially).
Bill Barr resigned (but submitted such an obsequious resignation letter, I was embarrassed for him for a moment, until I remembered what a son of a bitching bootlicker he is) soon thereafter.
I'm trying to remember how I used to take deep breaths on the regular. It's been four years of shallow breathing. We're in the home stretch now.
