I had someone respond (a month later) to an email I had sent with an attached word doc, saying "I only got the first page of your letter, can you send it again?". My reply was hard to write "um, try reprinting from the word doc, because thats an issue with your printer, not with what I sent??"

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

And it's probably because they don't have enough paper in the printer (or ink) and now they're going to be all "Now NONE of it is coming through!"

Well, hello there, despair at the average intelligence of my fellow humans! I...really haven't missed you at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thank god all you people are going to be right here where you're supposed to be after we move.

True fact.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I've got my car back. They replaced the cam shaft sensor and the starter motor to the tune of $915. Ugh.

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

Is that my son in a dress?

That's about the level of equivocation I expect from a Salon parenting article, although I don't read them too often. Horrified, but find me open minded!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That reminds me of a great story I heard over the weekend: J was home with her kids, and the tv was on. Turned out it was the Tyra show, and it was about transgender people. Her oldest daughter (12 or so) was like, Mom! Is this appropriate for us??? Mom was like, You know, this is something that exists in the world, but you probably won't ever know anyone transgender for a long time.

A couple of weeks later they find out that someone the daughter had been in school with as a girl was coming back to 8th grade (or whatever) as a boy! The daughter was like, Mom! You said this wouldn't come up!! But of course none of the kids actually cared at all, although some of the parents were freaked out...

What a brave, new world that has such people in't.

I don't think such a thing would even have been contemplated when I was in the 8th grade. Or even acknowledged to exist.
