You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Art Crawl!!!

Toddson - your company is so wrong. It is appalling the unfair treatment they are handing out,

Jesse - isn’t that the best job title?

Great news, Sumi!

Yay sumi! Also I totally want there to be a bottle labeled “medical goo be gone”

I am trying to figure out how to go be gone from a bathing suit strap. I think it maybe got too much sunscreen on it and then baked?? Or something? But it feels like I melted a marshmallow on it or something—it’s sticky and thoroughly saturated one strap. I tried washing it, no help.

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

Glad for a pretty darn positive update, sumi!

I feel like I have had that problem before, meara, but I don't think I solved it. But now I want a marshmallow, and I actually have some, so that's something.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Could it be from the elastic? I feel like I sometimes get that with bathing suit or bra straps - like the elastic, I dunno, melted or something?

It could be that, Epic, but I really hope it’s not, I love this suit!

Our wings are not tired.

I hate when my favorite bathing suits deteriorate, which has been an issue all my life as a dedicated swimmer. I have a couple favorites that really should be retired. I did recently buy a couple of two piece suits that are super comfy but absolutely only to be seen by immediate family. Beach goers don't need to see my belly.

Speaking of belly, mine is going down and clothes are loose. DH and my sister have joined me on the keto wagon. It makes it a lot easier.

Matilda is up and awake, drinking an iced blended caramel cappucino, washed her face, did light makeup (not full Death Metal), put on a clean shirt and has her laptop primed to join her Zoom orientation for being a camp counselor this summer.

She has another Zoom orientation tomorrow (I'm hoping these are only like an hour long), and then gets her assignment and will start her paying gig on Tuesday (after Monday off for the 4th).

Very cool, and exciting.

Watched the news while eating lunch, yeah, I know not supposed to do that. Anyway, Chuck Todd went off a bit on both the unvaccinated, and in particular those who spread the conspiracy theories. It was pretty on point. In part,

The only people dying are the unvaccinated, and for those of you spreading misinformation, shame on you. Shame on you! People are needlessly dying because of your misinformation! Think about it. I don’t know how some of you sleep at night who are doing this for a living on television.
