You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

And now my stuff:

Staying with Calli was an absolute delight. I petted Liefur and Javi came to smell me while I pretended to sleep, which I am counting as a win.

And I. Got. The. Job. I start 6/24, so the clock is ticking. I’m giving notice Monday. Looking at a place today where I’d have the upstairs area of a condo to myself, with a private bath and sitting area, and would be living with a woman who looks to be in her mid-50s and has a cat. The location is pretty much PERFECT and the rent is in my budget.

So I release the job~ma in exchange for any housing~ma that might be floating around.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

YAY!

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

smonster, congrats on a successful job hunt.

Steph, how does Tim respond? How do you want him to respond? "Did you leave a message? No? Why not?" "Oh, we never answer the landline." "Did you call her cellphone?" "Why are you calling me ?"

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

That's wonderful, smonster! I'm so happy for you!

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

And the downside to the ludicrous decision to call applesauce an ultra-processed food is that, if I'm comparing apple(sauce) to oranges, and fucking applesauce is a Big Bad Ultraprocessed Food, then fuck it; I'm going to get a sausage and egg McMuffin instead, because it's ultra-processed, too, and if they're both evil, then I'm getting the one that is the best breakfast sandwich ever (voted on by: me), and not just apple ground into a paste.
A friend of my mom's High School priest told the kids that French Kissing is a Cardinal Sin! so, having been necking for years, they all went ahead and fucked.

My rescue dog was in a horde and is pretty much anorexic and agoraphobic. He's improved more than I ever dreamt, but also continues to find novel ways to be weird. Being 7.5 pounds (up from 6!) and toothless, however, he's pretty easy to manage.

Wonderful job news, smonster!
