My Chuck D draft is complete, and I'm sending it out to some black male beta readers to let me know if I sound like Sandra Bullock in the Blind Side or something. This is my fear.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

sarameg - have you tried grain free food and/or chicken free?
Sometimes grainfree will work but Dean has to have both grain free and poultry free. And a co worker has a cat who is allergic to poultry -his cat had the digestive tract issues with noxious gas that cleared up when they went poultry free.

I've only had her a month or so. So much improved from when she got here. I think part of it is just kitten gut.
Waking up before the alarm, without kitty rumpus? Unnecessary. But up I am.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just had a horrible horrible depressing dream featuring someone/something that is no longer an issue but was a huge emotional mess at the time.
Night before's slightly stressful dream featuring acting by Donald Glover was a much better substitute. I'm distracted and sad, and now I need to work through a set of exercises to get this feeling gone so I can sleep again.

Jeez, it's wrong for me to be up and about to leave for work before sunrise, but even wronger for you.
My new tights smell like balloons. I fear this will be distracting. But not enough to go upstairs and rummage through the sock drawer. Onward!

The news is reporting a multi-car pile up (no major injuries) in Japan that involved eight Ferraris, two Lambourghinis, a Rolls, and a smattering of Mercedes(es?). That would be something to see.

I like Khan Academy. The gamieness of it is actually fun. I have reviewed some math concepts on their site and spent time practicing.
Will it improve test scores? I'd say no. What improves test scores is actually intensive test prep where you practice not just the concepts but the actual format of the test.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
The Dean of our School just sent out a note that she would like to meet with all avaialble faculty and staff in and hour and a half. I hate those meetings- usually it means that someone has died or is seriously ill or that the Dean is getting fired.
Since we are not a business, it usually does not mean lay offs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Two teachers in Colorado have been promoting the idea of the "flipped classroom", where the students watch video lectures made by their teachers at home, and then do their "homework" while at school, where the teachers can give them guidance.
