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.

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

Timelies all!

Visited Mr. S today. He was ok, if bored. He had some meltdowns over the weekend, which led to some of his stuff being off-limits for a bit. Don't know when he's being discharged, but we are still heading to Buffalo tomorrow for the big convention there.

Always Anti-fascist!

Postcarding needs too many hands for me to do it.(I have, a few times) Glad that you all can, though I kick in postage money.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I'm trying to distract myself and I still feel like we're spiraling. I'd like to call off work tomorrow. Can I call in despaired?

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

Might be time for languishing to make a comeback.

Sadly I feel like I need to save my despair days for darker times upcoming.

Yeah. That is the feeling.

'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"

Mostly I'm just very very angry and ready to argue with idiots on the Internet. Grrrrr.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Mostly I'm just very very angry and ready to argue with idiots on the Internet.

This is exactly why the Capybara Intervention was invented for. Whenever I see friends trying to reason with stupidity/bad faith folks for too long in a way that harms them and their environment, I politely ask them to post a cute picture of an animal to cleanse the timeline.

Also, hiiiii. Sorry for the radio silence. It takes so much time and energy to fight the bad faith actors here, that I absolutely neglected this wonderful space. My bad. So belated happy birthdays, various~mas and ooof, I'm sorry for all of you. I miss you and hope that you take good care of yourselves.

And yeah, the time to double down on community building/maintaining efforts is now. It takes so much more time and effort just to keep whatever little you have once you've entered the stupid-less-democratic-timeline.

Shir, so good to see you. Have been thinking about you.

Doggo has another UTI, we're 99% sure. Took her in for a culture yesterday. Asked to start her on antibios today instead of waiting for results, poor noodle. We'll see. It's her third since September. Apparently more susceptible because of Cushing's.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, it looks like our robot overlords are upon us (having defeated a feline overlord)
