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.

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

I hope that works out for him, flea.

I am having one of those mornings when I can’t believe I have to work all day again. I just did this! Several days in a row!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This week has been a billion years long already. Strongly dislike.

Coding and Sleeping

I hope things work out well for Mr. flea. I can't imagine how demoralizing it must be at the EPA right now and it sounds like they want to make federal employees that survive the purges miserable.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I feel like Republicans are playing on Easy Mode. Maybe Tutorial. Remember when Democrats couldn't get THE REPUBLICANS' border bill passed?

My school may not be showing much concern, but below the surface we're a duck. I got pulled in to research something about grant funding, which was a relief to me because I was starting to worry we weren't doing any planning. But there is furious swimming going on.

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

Google has taken Black History Month and Pride off of Google Calendar.

I don't know why that even bugs me at this point, but it does.

Serge, remember when your motto was "Don't Be Evil"?

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

It's raining. The wind was strong enough to pull open my front French windows again. Really need to have my contractor put in stronger latches.

I guess I can focus on in-house clean-up today, since I'm disinclined to go out in this mess.

Our wings are not tired.

Confirming both Hegseth and Kennedy demonstrates the fear/intimidation/admiration/worship of their vile leader. in the top 5 of my fears is loading SCOTUS with youngsters. Top of the list Aileen Cannon.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The bodegas in NYC have started selling loosie eggs.

The bodegas in Rochester ALWAYS sold loosie eggs! It is just like, only poor people have bodegas. But, we do have corner stores- they are different- I think our bodegas are from people who came here from NY. They had loosie toilet paper during the pandemic. Also, the first time I heard someone calling "Cigarettes, Cigarettes! Loosies, Loosies!" at the bus stop I thought they were saying Lucy and was so confused!

Again, also, they get me half and half. Like, they don't normally carry it, but I asked, and they get it just for me :)
