I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I have PTO and matching retirement contributions again for the first time since 2017. Plus I purchased a Comfy Car for road trips.

Yay—both are good things!

Indeed, both good things, tommyrot!

ND, ~ma to you in dealing with that, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, and I figured out I’m agender. That explains so much!

I remember you talking about that a while back! There's a lot of "seems fake, but okay" stuff that suddenly becomes clear when you figure out something like that.

Finding the label and knowing there are many like me was what I really needed.

That's great, tommy.

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

Timelies all!

I'm glad things are going well, Tommy.

Did the seder at Gary's mom's house. Went fine.

My toenails are now sparkly and purple. (Not that any one other than me and Gary will see them-I don't wear sandals much- but they make me happy)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sheryl, you inspired me and I'm getting a pedicure tomorrow.

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

We're doing an office easter egg hunt right now. I just can't bring myself to join in, Easter is just too definitely a religious holiday to me, even though eggs are not necessarily.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Hooray for security and self-knowledge, tommyrot!

Susan, that can't be right. Check your math, please. Nineteen? What?

I know! It feels unpossible.
