Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I was in a crowd at a Readercon party (not exactly a raucous affair for this set of book readers) and it was quite the subject of conversation at the time, but this is the Very Liberal subset in the Very Bluest Commonwealth.

Personally, I'm just taking the missed assassination as another sign that he's the actual Antichrist.

Thrive to spite them

I don't care about the sleep pants and crocs at this point. It's the bathrobe or the night gown that have me baffled.

But then I'm baffled at why someone stole Slim Fast bars and Crystal Light (on different days , not on the same day).

I also had to count this as a good day because the elderly lady who is a regular and always "asks" where things are by barking out "Canned Fruit! Canned Fruit!" or "Butter! Butter!" actually ASKED me where the dried fruit was and said please and thank you.

And I made a new snack today. I got some Ritz crackers, peanut butter and Indulgence Trail Mix (has mixed dried fruit, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips and nuts) , spread peanut butter on the Ritz cracker and then dipped it into the Trail mix (I had it in a bowl) and ate it. It was really good. I'm going to try it with celery and peanut butter as an Ants on a Log variation.

Our wings are not tired.

It's the bathrobe or the night gown that have me baffled.

Our neighborhood grocery store some years ago had Sunday morning coffee and donuts and it was tradition to come in jammies, or at least slippers. But it was a thing. Encouraged and only for Sunday morning.

Bras seem to be very optional lately . and i'm always torn between -- yeah! wear what you want! and-- I don't think I want to see your nipples that clearly.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

It's the bathrobe

Big Lebowski tribute, perhaps?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

That idiot judge in Florida has dismissed the classified documents case against Trump. They're going to appeal, of course, but jesus fucking christ I am tired of this guy and the disgusting apparatus that's been constructed to insulate him from any kind of consequences or expectation of reasonable behavior.

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

While I think I probably should be used to it I continue to be shocked by the audacity

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

While I think I probably should be used to it I continue to be shocked by the audacity

I'm relieved to not be totally numb to it but JFC it's exhausting to constantly be this angry.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

And he's such a stupid, weird person! (No offense intended to those of us who are weird.) But they're going all out to protect this guy? The hair and the orange skin and the weird things that always crop up in his speeches, like Hannibal Lecter and fictional big strong men who come up to Trump with tears in their eyes and address him as "Mr. Trump, sir," and the hatred of windmills and low-flow toilets!
