Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Kat, how terrifying.

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

Having just reached the point in a project where we can quantify one of our major metrics of success (min 230 people to log in over 60 days--411 have logged in over 10 days) is definitely a good time to update the resume.

Will I?

Let us see.

Kat, that's gasp-making. Lord.

I have spent the weekend reading critiques of unrealistic comic book women poses and bodies, and now Angelina goes and ruins EVERYTHING: [link]

Goddamn Mayo Clinic website - they're supposed to be the non-alarmist science-based alternative to WEbMD! And yet, when I put in my symptoms, "common cold" is FOURTH on the list behind pneumonia, influenza, and bronchitis. Do not want.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Scary for the families. The Washington Post has a picture of a friend's nephew and his mom leaving the elementary school. The way the community was planned, the high school and the middle school are close to each other (less than half a mile apart) and there is an elementary school across the street from the high school (there is one house between the elementary school and my parents' house). I think they evacuated students to the elementary and middle schools and then dismissed them from there.

So weird.

But also so not surprising. It's a small almost rural community but steeped in conservative mores and a gun culture. Granted, I teach in the 'hood, but violence at school is rare (in the neighborhood is another thing entirely).
