See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The Obama administration said Friday that health insurance plans must cover contraceptives for women without charge, and it rejected a broad exemption sought by the Roman Catholic Church for insurance provided to employees of Catholic hospitals, colleges and charities.

From the bottom of my devoutly Catholic (I'm coming to realize, less and less Papist with every passing minute, but still pretty fuckin' Catholic) heart, THANK YOU OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. Also, EAT IT, OUT-OF-TOUCH-WITH-THE-LAITY HIERARCHY.

Sincerely,

Sick Unto Fucking Death Of Those Urgent Pleas In Every Damn Weekly Bulletin From The Bishops Urging Us To Call Congress And Protect Religous Freedom When We All Know It's Rancid Bullshit

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Sophia, go with your gut! Your senior may be able to recommend you a good junior for the position. At my old job we got a string of great interns that way.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Man, my internet connection is for shit today. Why is that? It's because they want me to work, isn't it?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

sarameg, when I was trying to reserve a hotel room in Barcelona last fall, my credit union gave me some difficulties. I had to call them to get the charge cleared, and then tell them exactly which days I'd be in Spain so I could use a credit card there. Apparently there were some concerns about card/number stealing.

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

SOPA postponed.

Because books.

I got the preliminary cover for Glass Heart. It's ... very pink.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I did it!

The research manager walked by, and I told her I was super open to student sharing in the summer and the future, but that right now I just need someone to swoop in and take over some projects with little direction, and she agrees that Candidate B is not that person!

She thinks that Candidate B is staying for the summer, and would be open to sharing if she wants 40 hours per week.

I feel so much better.

That's great, Sophia! I'm glad you'll get the person you want, possibly longer than expected.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Excellent.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Dang, I wish Obama were consistently this awesome. That kicks all kinds of ass.
