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

Timelies all!

Today is Mr. S's birthday. He turns 8. He'll be home for 2 nights starting tomorrow. We tried to ask him what he'd like to do on Saturday when we talked to him on Zoom today, but he wasn't very helpful. (His birthday party was going to be Saturday, but none of the kids we invited were available. So now the party is first weekend in August.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Gud, that's so exciting! Congratulations!

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

Congrats to her and her fiance, Gud!

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

Congratulations to the couple! So happy making to read.

Also happy making - I just read a FB post from a guy I knew in college talking about how he’s been getting his girlfriend (wife? I forget their actual relationship. I don’t really talk to him I just see his posts sometimes) to watch Buffy and they are up to OMWF. I’m not going to explain to him why I in particular am so pleased, but I’ll tell y’all that I am :)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Congrats, Gud!

I've started going to a writers' group that meets every other week at a local coffee shop. At this Tuesday's gathering, a new person joined and introduced themselves as having just graduated high school. Which made me feel elderly (and probably did the same for everyone else at the table--I'm pretty sure I was the oldest person there, but not by a lot). I asked them which school they'd gone to, and it turned out they were one of Alex's classmates, though the two of them barely know each other. Still, small world, and something of a reminder that my child is an adult now, given that his peers are out there hanging out in coffee shop writing groups with me and my peers!
