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

My friends on Facebook are posting about a tornado in Brooklyn? WTFF?!

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

Timelies all!

The only place I can think of where I might be pushing my luck is at work, where I am trying to stay off the computer for non-work-related things. I've been warned about it a number of times by my boss, but it is difficult.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I am currently pushing my luck by posting here and not going to the bathroom. Parents will be here soon for Open House and this is my last chance for a couple of hours....

...

...

Okay, I'm not gonna push that too far and go take care of bidness.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I need a micro-nap.

So this morning I made this giant list of Stuff What Must Get Done. I color coded it on my whiteboard, Willow style, because really, all this stuff is already on my to-do list. It's just not getting done, so I needed a giant list.

Of that list? I have achieved exactly one thing. One. It turned into this giant, bureaucratic, mistake-discovering all-day project. One that involved going to the IRS website to download amendment forms. It's never a good day that involves going to the IRS website.

And yet? I think I'm going to say fuck it all and go have my swim. Maybe I will come back miraculously clear-headed and be able to, like, do work like an adult.

Okay, first I'll do the dishes, and then I'll say fuck it all and swim.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Plus: I thought that the youth of today was supposed to be MORE tech savvy - why is the youth that I work with less?

I rattled off a number of ways to share tasks at my intern and her response was "...I like paper." Okeydoke!

Liese, your swim is part of taking care of your body and mind. Otherwise you will burn out.

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

So I didn't doodle. I sat with my hand in my pocket for the whole meeting. The guy next to me doodled. Life isn't fair.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I still have 6 more weeks on my CSA.

We just hit half way on ours. We get veggies from June to December. I have only gotten summer squash so far, but am looking forward to winter squash.

ita - your boss is so wrong. You should be able to doodle, but maybe try not to do portraits? I don't know. Seems very double standard-ish.

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

I don't know how to draw things that aren't people. I mean, if I were to draw boxes, I'd have to think about it, which defeats the point. I can draw people and it helps me focus, because it leaves the rest of my brain free to listen.

What to do when body parts fall off.

Joaquin Phoenix was faking it.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

That NYT article freaked me out because the byline was South Pasadena. For a minute I thought they were personalizing content for me.
