The Joss article has me depressed thinking about my own self-loathing, and the things I do to sabotage myself, and how implacable it seems.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
The Joss article has me depressed thinking about my own self-loathing, and the things I do to sabotage myself, and how implacable it seems.
Huge difference here: Joss used his issues as an excuse for why he was unable to stop himself from treating people like things and abusing them. You don't. You DON'T. And that difference is enormous. It's everything.

First of all he's a narcissist, and you're not. Second, he hurts other people and you hurt yourself.
I wish there was an airflow button for you, Tom, like we have on a car. Instead of circulating your own self-loathing you could be flooded with the way everybody else feels about you.

OK, it's not exactly an island, but how about this for the Buffistas? since most are working remotely, location shouldn't be an issue.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry it hit you like that, Tom. That's not fair or right.
I keep deleting everything I want to say about the Joss thing. Just did it again. Cannot get the thoughts into words that seem right.

I do kind of love the commitment to really castling up that castle, Toddson

This is a really gorgeous simile, David. And also a wish that many of us share for you, Tom.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Spent most of the workday on a webinar.(Training class for shipping biological materials.) Luckily I had soda.(Vanilla Coke in the morning, Coke Zero Sugar in the afternoon)
I'm surprised I'm not more tired as Mr. S woke up in the middle of the night not feeling well.(Runny nose/congestion) He ended up going home early from school, and Gary is at the pediatrician's office right now with him. Hopefully it will turn out to be a cold.

Very weird dream last night wherein I was investigating insurance fraud at an airport terminal that was being rebuilt after some kind of disaster. It involved a sinister Bradley Cooper character, and me breaking the fourth wall by being aware that he was a character played by Bradley Cooper and making references to that.
