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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm boopless.
It's a blue sky (on theme!) morning in San Francisco, so neither on fire nor snowpocalypse.
You should all come by.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Watching the speakers at Jimmy Carter's funeral. Quite a human. Understatement.

My MIL on the phone just explained that the LA mayor took money from the fire department to give to the homeless. I, fortunately, had already taken klonopin this morning, so I was able to hiss at my husband about it not being true rather than grabbing the phone and screaming at her.

Discord is awful. I used to use it often (so often), but it's really not designed for the things people are using it for in a vain effort to find a suitable replacement for FB. Also, I am on work Slack all the damn time, so Discord is not a relaxing way to spend my time. Plus, it's a fucking drama factory.

I didn't realize how close my brother and his partner are to the fires, and now I'm stressing.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It's been a weird week at work. Monday and Tuesday we were officially closed, but I'm an essential worker so I went in both days. Monday I managed to get in 20-30 minutes later than normal in spite of having dug out my car and the fact of the crappy roads. There were only two of us the whole morning. We got sent home around 1:15. Tuesday I had a doctor's appointment at 10 (moved from 8) and got in around 10:30. Stayed the rest of the day.
Yesterday was a normal day and today we are closed.

Brother says it's very, very unlikely that the fire would reach their house, but they've moved to a hotel anyway because of smoke.
