Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds right.

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

I remember emilyn being active in the Firefly thread but didn't stick around very long after that.

[edit: after it was canceled, I mean]

Omg flea!! Having just been through it...good luck? At least there are four of you? Recommendation: even if you feel like you’re taking a ridiculous amount of photos, take more. And video. They grow so quickly!

Mine, meanwhile, may have an infection in his incision from neuter surgery :( sent a photo to the vet and they said to pick up antibiotics tomorrow and if it gets worse call them. Nooo! (He’s acting perfectly fine)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm sure you've seen the video of the lawyer who was on a Zoom call and the kitten filter got stuck. Well, a law professor started his 1L class and they'd all put the kitten filter on.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I spent a significant amount of time yesterday trying to find that super adorbs kitten filter with no success. Orange tabby on the head, sure, but no fluffy white kitten.

There are people here with strong opinions re nail polish, yes? Because I am in a compulsive phase wrt my fingernails lately and could use some guidance from pros who aren't trying to sell me something via youtube.

Not usually one for putting anything on my fingernails, but got sucked into one of those FB "parties" where the host is joining the pyramid scheme and I could "help" her by trying a free sample...and I did...then of course I liked the effect and purchased three sets of ColorStreet nail strips which are great in that they are actual nail polish and stick to the nails and then come off with polish remover, but annoying in that the base trim is never *quite* right for my nail beds and then there is a gap and then it grows out and the ledge effect annoys me and....well....it's not perfect. But heck, I'm mostly working from home and can spend some extra time and $$ on something entirely frivolous. So there has been much experimenting by me of trying to make them "just right." I'm failing.

Standard nail polish would eliminate the "not filling the entire nail bed" issue, but I can't use that stuff since it STINKS. The nail polish strips have some stink to them too, but not so much (as they arrive mostly dry) and it dissipates pretty quick.

Are there any nail polishes out there that don't stink? And aren't, like, absolutely terrible for our bodies and the environment? Does such a thing exist? Or I'll just ride this phrase of compulsion until i'm back to being happy with my regular short bare nails that don't require any special effort and just do the job of protecting my fingertips.

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

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Gris.

Oh, flea, I'm so excited to see your puppy pictures. Newfie puppies are adorable, but I hope you won't need a bib for the drooling.

Anyone noticed that their "dealing with other people" muscles are atrophied? I've been spending a lot more time in meetings the last week or so (bcz of the new position) and it's bizarrely exhausting compared to just sitting and working all day. Also I think telecons are just harder than in-person meetings because of the cross-talk and so forth: you have to concentrate a lot more or you lose track.
