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

Thank God the guy at the bank was an immigrant named Igor.

Hey, my dad is an immigrant named Igor! Pretty sure he never worked in a bank, though. Always labs.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

When I was in grade school in the 70s and there was a tornado warning, we all just filed out into the school hallway and curled up in a fetal position and hoped for the best.

By the time I was in high school in the 80s, they were also having us take a textbook into the hall with us to protect our heads.

It worked -- just some minor blood leakage that, while painful, is not concerning.

Our wings are not tired.

Good day, Buffistas! And a good day it is because today we celebrate the birth of Tom Scola. I hope that today is a most excellent day, and may the year to come be filled with delight.
