Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Fred!!

Cuddle parties are so two years ago.

I am very cranky that I'm going to work on a Friday (the HORROR!!), but it does mean money, so that's something....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Happy Birthday, Fred!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Thank you, folks. Yep, I'm 43 today.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Many Happy Returns of the Day, Fred Pete!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy Birthday Fred!

What is even happening?

Happy Birthday, Fred!!!

I would SO go to a cuddle party.

People pay thirty bucks easy for clubs or bars (once you get drinks) and you can hardly talk and I hate them. This sounds much more pleasant.

Ugh, that's my idea of Hell, or at least lower level purgatory. I don't want strangers touching me, never mind lying down next to me and cuddling with me. Every hair on the back of my neck is standing at attention, as I read about this.

It also makes me kind of sad.

Happy Birthday Fred!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It also makes me kind of sad.

There is that too. Which doesn't mean that Jesse shouldn't share her obviously copious cuddle party knowledge with us. I'm not judging her or anything.

Happy birthday, Fred!

Happy Birthday Fred!!!

Cuddle parties- a student here wrote an article about going to one for the paper here, and it didn't sound so terrible, if your boundary issues will allow such a thing. She kind of went into it with eyes a-rolling, and wasn't a crazy cuddle convert at the end, but it sounded like it was a nice experience. So, this is not the first I've heard of it. It sounds less craxy and more safe than other things people do to not feel so alone in this world.
