I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

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.

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

John Oliver had a thing about salt batteries on Sunday. I am not enough of a chemistry expert to understand if they are a real viable alternative to lithium-ion (hopefully yes because lithium mining is literally the worst but also our current best path forward to getting off oil.)

(And by "not enough of a chemistry expert" I mean "Multiple better-educated Buffistas have pointed out that my caffeine molecule tattoo is missing a bond and chemically unstable")

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Trying to think of the non-Boorish way to say, "I noticed that!"

Consider it achieved.

Punishingly Intricate

I’m chemically unstable if I don’t get my morning coffee!

I think I set the bar too high at "toxic."

I hear ya'. And I do limit my exposure to maybe once or twice a year and in a group, heh.

I am overall super lucky with my peeps.

Ha, lisah! I see what you did there.

Somebody ask me if I've been to the pool yet when I post tomorrow...

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Consider it achieved.

We are a foamy bunch, yeah? It was good to be reminded of that at Jacqueline's gathering.

Always Anti-fascist!

I bought something so pink this week, I think JZ convinced me to buy it. Have no idea where I'd wear it, but I have it. I hate that I don't have more ties here, though.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I’m chemically unstable if I don’t get my morning coffee!

Ha! Same!

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

Timelies all!

I called the dermatologist's office yesterday, and they didn't have my credit card. So I called Citibank and went through the whole song and dance of cancelling the card and getting a new one.(Which will arrive in 4 to 7 business days)

Mr. S had a major meltdown at school(physical aggression towards staff and community members) which led to a)another trip to the ER and b)suspension for the remaining days of school. It never seems to get better.

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

"Multiple better-educated Buffistas have pointed out that my caffeine molecule tattoo is missing a bond and chemically unstable"

Insubordinate! And Churlish!

Compassionately intolerant

"I am done chasing people."

'Tis the season. At one point, I thought is a generational thing, but I'm seeing the tightening up of friend groups over all the ages.

smonster, Sanity Camp WILL be online! Deets soon.
