I really miss hosting and cooking for the masses. Oh well, this will happen again.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Ended up with a lot of rain last night. That plus above-freezing temperatures means there wasn't a huge amount of snow to deal with today.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I have spent the day doing paperwork, making onerous phone calls, doing paperwork, and dealing with money. All of which make me nervous. So now I’m going to watch some tv and hide under my weighted blanket.

Thrive to spite them
I'm playing Minecraft with E and we are on skype chatting. He did an online escape room with his other aunt and grandmother and they almost finished it. I asked him if he had fun and he says:
"oh don't worry sweetheart, we had plenty of fun" and not in a sarcastic way in a.. I'm not even sure how to explain the tone. I couldn't help but crack up and ask him where he had picked that up, he said he didn't but he must have.
And watching chat on the server is funny a lot of "bruh". Bruh! I just got a or Bruh! that is so cool! or whatever.

Ha, I know that age group. It is both adorable and eye-rolly in equal measure.
I read the entire article Tom linked in Press. Why I continued when I was getting more annoyed as I read is a mystery. My take ended up being, "it is possible I was as an ass on occasion, but I have all these reasons, and no way they aren't lying anyway". Whatever, you poor misunderstood dude. Yuck.

That Vice article? Really, no. But it helps put a lot of stuff into context for me.
And I will continue to have a fondness for that type of dialog, I suspect.

None of it will keep me from giggling at Pangs once a year.

Oh, wait, this is a different article. This is... yikes.
Still, she wondered if those who’d been hurt by him had misunderstood him. Whedon was not the first boss in the history of moving pictures to make a writer cry.
I'm sorry, a workplace in which people CRY is not being well-managed. I won't go so far as to say it's necessarily toxic, but it's not right. If you are a manager and people cry for reasons having to do with the workplace, that's on you.

What is even happening?
Yeah, the talk of the day is the Vulture article. I posted about it in the Buffy thread, because I didn't know where else to put it.
What's the Vice article, Consuela?
