Because books.

If you tell me this is because God created light first, and that we have to transition away from pharmacology because one person owns all of big pharma (seems the Rockefellers and the Clintons and the Bushes all report up to this person) and medicines will no longer work as of September or so

Again I say, WOW.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ha ita, definitely not a woo-woo thing. Not sure how it works, but undoubtedly closer to EMR than God's creation.

Also is it just me, or does ita's nurse sound like that website Consuela found that randomly generates conspiracy theories?

Hah, oh I'd forgotten about that site. Wow. Serious cray-cray.

Erin, I'm curious what the "menage-a-trois on an onramp" actually was?? Was this in a car, or like, in the middle of the onramp, or on the shoulder or WTF?

menage-a-trois on an onramp

That's a Sundance movie waiting to happen.

Compassionately intolerant

The writer himself doesn't want them reprinted. He's been quite curmudgeonly about it.

No lie. An old boyfriend of mine called Platt in the early 90s to tell him how important the book was to me...could he find a copy somewhere?

Platt did not, in any way, appreciate the romantic gesture. Swearing and an angry hang-up ensued.

I'm pretty sure Kin has passed though. Perhaps his estate will help us out.

I love the blog post.

Funny how deeply a book can effect you.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

the caller thought it was 3 nekkid ppl getting it on in a grassy area at belmont and grand, which is like a block east of the hawthorne bridge (a very heavily trafficked urban area, not a nice secluded spot for any kind of sexual activity). Officer driving past didn't see anything. My personal opinion was that it was just a few people being nekkid, which is totally legal in portland, but tends to upset some folks.

eta: also, the fact that only one random psrby reported it, by calling his wife at home who then called us, makes it seem highly implausible. Menage a troi out in the open in this weather? Everyone would be calling out of concern for the cold/wet grass.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Can you lie to yourself that the woo-woo Nurse is a performance artist? Or a very sophisticated stand-up comedian? Cause if you could convince yourself of that, she would be a lot easier to bear. How good are your deliberate self-deception skills...?

I just have to share: I normally feel like lesbians are weird and incestuous and spend too much time with their exes. It's all stereotypically true. I don't feel like I'm too bad about it. Today I was commenting on something on Facebook and realized the person I was commenting on, I know her because she is my ex- girlfriend's brother's wife's sister. Um.

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

The woo woo is nuts, but at least this treatment is better than the roulette of the ER, right?
