Our wings are not tired.

I think y'all know what I mean.

We do. Well done with the impressive list of accomplishments.

Go, Hec! That’s a lot to get done. Sometimes just having another person in the room helps to get so much more done.

Always Anti-fascist!

It took me a couple tries(and I don't mean porn.) Like, maybe there's more than you think(possible, and you don't exactly have that whole Marginalized Human thing, like I do) but, you know. If she's not it, don't be afraid to keep looking When I was in high school, I thought I would be a therapist. But I think I just terminated too fast with my disabled therapist and then kind of had the most fucked-up #SeeHerBeHer ever. Or maybe it took getting into college for me to realize how hard grad school would be(Or the occasional feeling that I'd be tempted to scribble about the deep, dark secrets that might've come my way. 'Because it's wrong" Kind of hating my Not a Job today, as it happens, and sort of wishing I'd let the guy who got bent about my Linked-in dozens joke take it off my hands last year.(I swear, I thought we were play-fighting, but he really got upset.)

But, really, dude, I'm a stranger, on twitter, who just wrote that maybe your mother should amend her profile to address her skills with small equipment. We've known each other ten minutes. If that brings up feelings enough that you want to get me fired, maybe you should talk to *mom*, not me.(My stepmother hammered my "Your mom's a skank" button so much when I was young, even if those jokes weren't funny to me, it wouldn't be fighting words now. And not only because if my mother was a skank, Stepmonster would have gotten her butt kicked on our front lawn because girls where my mom grew up? Don't settle for blouse disarranging and mild hair-pulling.) But, lucky me, that would never happen because a. I cover for all the married, family-having folks on the holidays And 2. Technically speaking, "having my job" would have saved me money because I'm a volunteer anyway.

I'm really missing JZ today and her unique brand of kind wisdom.

Sometimes I'm surprised at what makes me think of her. Sometimes I expect it, like "Gum would be perfection."

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

Y'all! I am wearing one red shoe and one black shoe (both flats, and similarish styles) and I had NO IDEA until a coworker mentioned it in the kitchen and I looked down at my feet. I'm not sure if this is a new low or an achievement unlocked sort of situation, but it's something.

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

Nah, worse would be if you got the chirality wrong.

I probably would have noticed that before getting very far. Probably.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Call it a deliberate fashion choice and just go with it.

I have a pile of onerousness that has landed on me today, and I just feel like all the onerous tasks could be spread out through the week. I have to: (1) see the dentist later because my dental implant (which doesn't have a crown yet) is poking through my gum a little, and that just doesn't seem right; (2) wrangle insurance nonsense for the bill from when I went to urgent care in Colorado; (3) manage all of the pre-op stuff for my dad's surgery next week (standard prostate stuff for an elderly man), because he doesn't read any of the mail they send him, and/or he assumes that the instructions don't apply to him (yes, Dad, when they tell you to get a pre-op physical, you need to actually do that, not just say "I've been feeling pretty good lately, so I don't need to do that," or they will cancel your surgery, you dumbass).

And then, you know, regular work on top of all of that. It's a bit much.
