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

Side-eyeing the people of Altoona. Calling him in? Not unless he was waving that gun.

And now they’re claiming he had a manifesto? Really? But didn’t trumpet it anywhere, just carried it around?? That seems odd also. Was his earlier success a fluke, or is this all super sus?

In non-shooter news, I accomplished some adulting today, namely, getting my mammogram and my pneumococcal vaccination. I also got #1 of the Hep B series since it turns out that not bothering to get that third shot in your mid-20s because the guy you are dating with Hep B breaks up with you means you have no immunity. (I had my MMR and Hep A/B titers checked when I did bloodwork before Thanksgiving.)

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

Something expressing "ill will towards corporate America" is not super damning

I don't know what a ghost gun is. I'm betting the reality is not as interesting as I am imagining.

Go megan with the self care! I still need my Covid shot, maybe tomorrow afternoon

You need to start treating stairs (and probably curbs too) as a potential threat that requires focus.

Both those things ARE threats for me. Stupid stupid back.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Stairs are the worst. I can't wait to get into our new house with the primary bedroom downstairs.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I don't know what a ghost gun is.

It doesn't have a serial number. There may be more points to the definition, but I think that's the primary one.

It can also be a gun which shoots a rapid fire stream of angry ghosts at your enemies who will be seriously slimed.
