I’d say “rookie mistake” except that that is very much an elder mistake. Ask me how I know.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It’s a well-practiced mistake with a great deal of experience so it can be made very effectively

Yeah I had gone to bed at the usual time but was online and reading and was lying there like “wait how is it midnight I’m wide awake!” And then remembered. Oops.

My boss wanting to keep paper files is going to be the death of me.

So, for fun I thought I would compare what I can see of Amazon's sales over the last 11 hours compare to the same period yesterday. Down 10%, which is not much but interesting enough to keep watching.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Should I do a "Ladies Night at the Forge" blacksmithing class in April? Circle one: yes / no
Just kidding (about voting) — I am totally going to do a blacksmithing class!

Punishingly Intricate
Meh I have a cold and am depressed. If I had some rote tasks to work on I could do that but I can’t bear to sit at my computer and think today. So I slept until 11 and now I’m going to sit on my couch and read my book

t what about compared to last Friday? Wondering how many people are doing the boycott. Not that a 1 day boycott will do much (especially if we just go buy the stuff tomorrow) but whatever.
Blacksmithing class sounds cool!

I don't have hourly for last Friday, just a total for the day, so that's hard to say. I'll definitely look at that when I have more of today to compare!
Blacksmithing! Awesome! Ladies Night at the Forge is a great name for it, too
Cocooning and reading sounds like a good call, lisah
I keep getting fed ads for a book that is Pride and Prejudice but Lizzie is being forced to marry someone (Mr Collins? Don't think it said) and practically held prisoner by her family and Darcy has been off being a pirate for some reason but is coming to save her. Which, okay, if that's the story they wanted more power to them, but I do feel like starting with Persuasion would have made more sense

Always Anti-fascist!
For me here in AZ the novel thing about "Which State Sucks More?" is that we don't always win every time anymore. Although we are making small upgrades, such as Kris Mayes our feisty AG, I'm sad that that happened because so many other places ...degraded so much.
