If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh askye, I'm so sorry.

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

Oh, askye, how hard for all of you! I’m so sorry.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, askye. That is so hard on everyone.

I just realized that I say "that would be great" fairly often in email, and I mean it sincerely, but I hear it in my head as if I'm quoting Office Space

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

askye, I'm so sorry.

There's a red one in a box in Jim's office I can lend you.

I don't know if I can put in words how much I want a red stapler. It is a lot.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Under $20. I'm not saying you should buy it, but I will suggest that a lot of dreams can't be fulfilled for under $20. [link]

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

askye, I am so sorry. So much ~ma to you and yours.

There are riots in my city tonight between racists and Arabs (this is not the first time it happens during Ramadan. And there were clashes in the last few days from both sides). This, along with the leadership failure that fuels these riots, is heartbreaking. (Not even sure if riots is the right word. We call it pogrom attempts). It was also worrying personally because I have a academic workshop that ends late on Thursdays on campus on the other side of town and I found myself trying to understand when the violence will start, because my way home goes through the places where the riots are. There are some brave activists that are going there to protect folks from attacks, but I'm not one of them. I love this city so much. It hurts to see it this way.
