My MiL had a few of those Victorian hair lace memento mori thingies. I find them deeply uncanny. They feel like objects of dark magic to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It helps. Because I know you wanted to know. MmmmHmmm.
I do think it's a little weird and a little gross that I kept it for years....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I fought hard for gender equity in pay in my first job out of university, and it totally didn't work out. Since then? I just try not to know what my co-workers make.
I don't have any male peers now! Eat me.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am amused that a) there are only 2 that I recognize -- Tar Heel and Knickerbocker except for the ones that are "nicknamed" their state (Utah, Wyoming Territory, etc)

I am not for keeping teeth or making up stuff about the tooth fairy. If it comes to that. I wouldn't keep the kids nail clippings yet I have locks of hair. Finely tuned sense of consistency.

Because books.
Totally downloaded that song.
I sort of wish I'd kept locks of hair, because those could have gone in a locket. But they're all blond, and they were all super white blond as babies, so it would have needed to be three lockets or a braid or something.

Jayhawkers, Hawkeyes, Badgers, Wolverines? They seem to be down with (midwestern) college sports anyway. Also an Illinois company putting this out and calling Illinois "sucker" doesn't hurt. Also also, there is no Minnesota in this world. Andi and Daniel aside, I'm good with that.
In conclusion, strange and awesome.
