What is your childhood trauma?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

A co-worker shared this article today, and it really resonated with me. Languishing is *exactly* how I feel lately.

This was so helpful. Of course, I am stuck just being addicted to Best Fiends. Damn you Kevin Flynn for Crime Writers on! They have been advertising for it this whole time, and I wasn't feeling up to it. Now I am and I can't stop playing. I am acheiving flow, I guess.... Also, a Buffista is one of their favorite listeners and appears on the Patreon Book Club. Anyway, a great podcast if you like people who think critically about documentary podcasts, movies and TV series. Although the theme is true crime, it is really four smart people analyzing things, kind of like we used to do with Buffy.

I am so glad Matilda got the job!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Chauvin guilty on all 3 counts. Thank god.

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

Timelies all!

Yay for Matilda!

As a friend in Minneapolis said, she’s now worried the MPD will take it out on the city. But it’s something....

Languishing is very applicable for me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"Languishing" is a better word than what I've been using which is "purgatorial."

I'm worried about Chauvin's trial going to Appeal.

Apparently we haven't finished all the paperwork. Look at this thorny bit of bureaucratic direction and thank the Gods, Old and New, that you don't have to parse this:

"Please note, the work permit is not complete yet. The parent’s and employer’s email address should be entered on the request. The next step is for the parent to check their email and complete their part on the form. Once that is done, the request will then be sent to this email for the Employer section. Once we completed the Employer’s section, it will be routed to SFUSD’s Work Permit Office for their final approval. Please provide us a copy once you received the final approval."

This is one form out of many. Ain't no paperwork like City Employment paperwork!

Paperwork~ma

I'm worried about Chauvin's trial going to Appeal.

My only concern there was the jury not being sequestered. So not a lawyer, but I think they should have been.

The Judge already said that Maxine Waters' comment could be grounds for Appeal.

I just saw my dad for the first time in OVER A YEAR. Socially distanced with no hugs, because I'm not vaccinated yet, but I SAW MY DAD!

(Oh hey, this new mascara is "water-resistant", not waterproof.)
