You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Good luck Lisah I cleaned out my books in December, but it kind of doesn't look like it now--I just don't have enough space, either. Even though I buy fewer books.(Still not zero, although I bet it's been...about three months which is a record since I'm not eleven in a pre-civilian internet world anymore.) Finished up what at times was a literally shitty week with getting my second installment for the story I sold...can't wait till it comes out, which should be imminent.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Congrats on the knee and the ice! I would honestly love to have both of those things right now. It's incredible here but I have done A Lot Of Walking and it is more humid than I, a Washington DC native, knew it was possible to get. (There is a level beyond Former Swamp apparently, and that is Actual Rainforest.)

Last night I was able to see a green sea turtle lay her eggs, cover them up, and return to the ocean. No photos because tourists are not allowed to bring anything that casts any light at all, but it was indescribable. I've felt such a strong connection to these animals my entire life and never seen one outside a zoo. Being able to be with her on this multi-hour journey was such a phenomenal privilege.
I might need to get another tattoo about it.

Awww, that makes me so happy for you. You've always been a turts-girl.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, wow, Jess. That’s amazing! How wonderful
