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

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

2 of Peanut's classmates have family in Ukraine - mostly in Kyiv. The parents are very worried, of course, but also a bit "here we go again." Ptui on Putin, I say.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh Karl. That's heartbreaking.

Although one or more of you (can't remember exactly who) gets credit for amusing my doctor - when she was warning me what sort of ultrasound she was ordering, I said, "Oh! Dildocam." She had never heard it before.

Heh. I once made my ObGyn turn bright red and choke/laugh using that term. "Is that what women call it?" "The women I know do."

I got through a lot of my to do list, and the remaining things on it I have decided I don't care about.

Now I'm torn between finding news I can listen to or read basically nonstop or completely avoiding the news.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I got back from vacation at 2am last night (this morning) and I have to say, I am really not impressed with my reentry into civilization. I would like to go away again and when I come back I would like for Russia NOT to be starting a massive world war and for Texas NOT to be actively engaged in state sponsored child abuse.

Worth a try, Jess. It would be nice if that worked!

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

Timelies all!

I'm back, after not being able to get onto the board fro over a week. I have to reset my password every day for some unknown reason, and the e-mails with the link to the password reset were either not getting to me at all, or getting to my inbox sufficiently late that the link didn't work. Added to that, we went to Boskone this past weekend, and the charger for my iPad decided to give up the ghost.

Anyways, glad to be here, and hopefully the e-mails will keep arriving in a timely fashion.

Oh, dear, Sheryl! Glad you made it today!

Our wings are not tired

I'm looking at the world right now and my urge to just get in the car and start driving and just somehow get away from all of this is super strong. It's not a rational urge at all, but I can viscerally feel the pull to just start driving until I can be someplace to start over where the world isn't like this.

I hear that ND. Hugs. This whole thing is such a shit show. I’m leaning heavily into reading trashy escapist shit but that’s it really good for me. [edit: that’s NOT really good for me]

I did dishes AND laundry today. But there are still dishes in the sink because I made more stuff after I washed the first bunch. Never ending!!
