We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, you could always go with Chris Evans and feminism

Good ones!

NPR, crosswords, PBS shows

Also good ones!

I don't really have an active fandom these days either. I have things I like, but nothing I'm...I don't know, actively engaged in discourse around? Thank goodness there's a new Matrix movie coming out this year. (And new Dune! My fandoms are all as old as I am so bring on the remakes and sequels.)

I have really always been more fandom-adjacent than anything. I am a fan of fandom??

If the bank is claiming that you walked into an actual brick-and-mortar branch and withdrew that money, surely they have security video footage from that branch.

Also, possibly a good time to file a police report? Or at least call 311?

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

Sigh. My poor car, which I loaned to my sister for her drive to Canada, and which she then drove into a ditch so thoroughly that it required TWO tow trucks working together to lift it out, is not in fact fine, but has a bent brace bar which is grinding against the exhaust pipe. So I will be carless for another week while the parts come in.

This is how I feel, but I think it is at least partly a sort of impostor syndrome? In anything I am fannish about there is always someone way more into it that makes me look like a dilettante. But then, I often feel like dilettante is a good word for me in general, so maybe that's just accurate.

This will be the SECOND car my sister has crashed in a way that damaged the undercarriage and maybe next time she asks to borrow it I will say no.

Our wings are not tired.

I originally read this as your cat, and was quite concerned about the cat being hurt in an accident. Still sucks, but I am relieved for your imaginary kitty.

I think that is the correct answer.

Oh no, Jess! I agree that maybe your sister should not be driving your cars.

Yikes Jessica! Also, wow, that’s an accident prone sister! I assume she doesn’t have a car so maybe is less comfortable/used to driving?? Still though.

I’m waiting for the bank to confirm what exactly happened (the guy I talked to could basically only see that it was listed as in person withdrawal and what branch) so I know what exactly I need to report! It’s all online now.
