See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Fucking Twitter. There are a few people I still follow there, but I need to never go back. Someone is on there now claiming I'm lying about my deathbed visit to my dad, and I'm shaking with rage, absolutely irrational and murderous. I would seriously harm this person if we were in the same room, and I don't like that about myself.

(The context is so fucking dumb, and does so little to help the accuser's case, I'm not going to go into it. I'm just choking on fury.)

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

You are an human being with limits and flaws. Only Jesus never sinned in his heart.

Ugh I’m so sorry JZ. That’s infuriating.

I admit I use Twitter on occasion—generally for news/reactions to very recent things (like a live tv sports thing or when the ferry recently crashed here) but I’ve never been able to handle it on the regular as a firehose of information.

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

Ugh, JZ, that's awful!

Always Anti-fascist!

Fucking shitsquib, JZ. what a waste of the sweat his mother expended bringing him to birth. Pro tip: If you kill him, don't take anything.

(Suddenly Simon's headache clears up, before he gets the advil open. He doesn't know why. He smiles, but only briefly.) Which intensity, I think is why people ask him about the Sopranos finale so often...he and Chase don't look like each other, and yet? Resemblance. On the wrong day, though, I wouldn't, even as chick, approach either one without a cup.

She's a she, a nurse, and claims to be a good and loving one who advocates like hell for her patients. I told her this was untrue, she's a bad nurse, and she reminds me of the nurse who pushed me to suicidal thoughts years ago (I outlived her, by God I did).

I could still kick her ass, not as thoroughly as my fake husband/ AU! real dad(I know what my mom likes, after a fashion...it could've, but it didn't, but much like Oz "it would explain a lot...") But I did promise him I'd #MowTheInternet and she sounds like just the right piece of crabgrass to start with. ETA: there is also a reason "meaning well is no excuse" is a slogan in the disability community. some of the worst people I've ever met are women in the "helping professions".

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

Timelies all!

Sorry you encountered that infuriating asshole, JZ.

I feel dumb for going so very nuclear, but I didn't even know it was a trigger until now. Being at his deathbed was a life-defining event, and someone flat-out telling me I'm lying about it just caused the entire universe to white out. All I wanted was to cause her pain.

Anyhow, she's blocked now, so even if I do go back she can't get at me. I just don't get it. Buffista nurses are the best; how are so many other nurses managing to be the very worst?

Ugh. That's discouraging.
