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

Excellent BDSM rep: Biting, Disemboweling, Scratching, Meowing

What a charming portrait of MurderBiscuit at Pride!

Laura, there are red caps at the stations and attendants on the trains to look out for people and they will jump in to offer assistance as we discovered when mom and I traveled together. You can ask for at least some of that when you book the tickets, although the lady I am sitting next to right now was told all the downstairs seats were full and she had to go upstairs with her bad knee, so don’t leave it to luck if you can avoid it. I would definitely advise getting her a room, she can head out to the lounge and dining room if she wants company and nap or look out her window in peace if she doesn’t (they’ll even deliver meals to the rooms, although I haven’t done that so I don’t fully know how it works). I think it’s a great idea - no transfers so relatively simple, just a question of whether she can sleep on a train which, really, I don’t think you know until you try

And I’m sorry, Dana. I know y’all have been in this process for a while but it’s still a threshold crossed and I wanna acknowledge that

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sighhh... personally? That's the best sleep there is.
Which is tricky when you live in a city with subways ;)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I don’t think you know until you try

I've never been motion-sick on a car or a bus or a small boat or a small plane or an airliner or a horse or a camel or an elephant. However, I did get uncomfortably nauseated when trying to sleep in a bunk on an overnight train. The swaying was head-to-toe, and it just went on endlessly.

YnauseaMV.
