This was the Bad Touch, ita.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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

Clean underwear?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I wonder how often that Israeli procedure ends up stopping people on the autism spectrum or with other disabilities that make them behave "oddly."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Israel also has only two international airports.

90% of TSA procedures are bullshit. Policies that make sense: intensive scanning of luggage, metal detectors, checking for explosives , banning weapons from carry on (tho currently taken beyond reason), security doors for pilot area, policy of no longer giving into hijackers. The rest, including policies on liquids and shoe removals are bullshit.
I think some sort of protest does make sense. The "opt out" of scanning and substitute a body search is an option the TSA offers. If a lot of people accepting that in protest of stupid policies causes you inconvenience complain to the TSA. They have the option of waving "opt-out" people through without the body search, or conducting the body search quickly rather using it to administer punishment.
And no the new body search is not the worst of the policies. But apparently it is a policy whose stupidity is obvious to people who accepted the rest. If we can use this latest policy to get a pushback we were not able to before, I'm for that.
I think the pirate party protest someone linked to a few days ago is a more effective protest and does not incovenience the people in line ahead of you. (They stripped to their underwear before entering the security line, and wrote on their bodies "Be a good citizen. Drop your pants." ) Here is a new link, a well-edited youtube: [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Fuck. That was an intense therapy session. Worst ever, and I've been at this a long time.

Tom, I hope the pain means you got through something important and helpful.

Oh jeez, Tom. "Worst ever" in a good way?
Clean underwear?
I guess no, since it must have been at the end of a trip.
