So I just did my taxes on H&R Block online, and they are so basic, I can't decide if I should spend the $55 to file with them or just fill out a paper form. Given that typing the info in took me maybe 20 minutes, I guess I'll do the paper and save the money. The good news is I'm getting a bunch of money back from the feds, and owe the state just a little. Sweet!

$55? That's insane. Mine was like $13.

Frances actually seems to have a pretty good handle on how awesome she is. She is a real hoot to be a parent to, I gather, and I expect her to take over the known universe in about 7 years.

The federal was going to be $20 and the state was $35. So yeah, my time is worth $50/hour.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Don't sell yourself short, Jesse! You should hold out for more!

ME: Frances, do you like any vegetables besides carrots? Have you had any vegetables at school, maybe, that you like?
FRANCES: Hmmm... Vegetables besides carrots that I like... Well, there's carrots... And I also like carrots... Oh! I almost forgot: carrots!
Hah! That's really funny, if inexplainable to Those Who Are Not Us.
Jesse, does it give you the option to just print it and send it in? That's what I usually do, because I'm cheap. But these days I don't have state taxes.

Oh hey Nora, are you aware of Julie Klausner? She's hilarious, and on her podcast sometimes talks about cat awards, so I want to send her the clip, so (a) is that OK, and (b) do you want to do it yourself?
I am not aware of her, so (a) yes and (b) no that's cool, you can do it.

She's hilarious and weird. She writes Real Housewives recaps on Vulture and has this pocast where she rambles forEVER and also interviews people and I don't know, now I think we are friends.

Oh, huh. I think the one I use you can print it out and paper file for free, but of course you don't get your money back for longer. I think it charges for the state return though. Or maybe I'm just totally mis-remembering. (And I might've paid last year because for the first time it was actually complicated, with working from home and owning a house and stuff)
