I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's pretty badass, shrift.
I love the idea of the streetfood festival. I generally like the food at fests, and this fest is all food. Perfect. Also, Three Twins might be worth a little pilgrimage. Sounds very yum.

Traveling with stuffed animals is *normal*, right?
It is in my world.
The one straight guy I knew who talked about emotional & relationships stuff with other guys was ... not emotionally well-adjusted. Ever.

shrift, if you own a hacksaw, you are like, 20 bitchiness points up on me. Never mind actually using it to fix something!

IME (with geeky het guys, which maybe is a separate category) they do talk about feelings & relationships with each other. There is more trash-talking than overt sympathizing, but the subject matter is the same.
At the comic shop a couple weeks ago, I eavesdropped (hey, it's a small shop!) on a long conversation between the owner & two other guys about how A had just broken up with his GF, and what was up with B, and then there was a fairly scathing analysis of of C (who wasn't there) and his unrealistic romantic aspirations.
It made me miss college.

I shall be impressed with myself, then!
I do have a hacksaw, but I don't think I own a drill, and I may need one when I buy and install a new bi-fold door to the laundry room.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Semi-skimmed. Lots of interesting stuff today!
Still trying to survive this heatwave. Tomorrow I get to "survive" it while standing in line at the DMV.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think it's a heatwave. I think it's summer.
