We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It hasn't hit national media, so I'm hoping it's not too bad, I guess?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Stay safe, folks!

Hi! We're in Pittsburgh. Some people go to Florida for spring break... Us, not so much. Tomorrow, dinosaurs!

Dinos at the Carnegie? I love those dinos! Scene of many a school trip!

Yes. My first memory of going to a museum, when i was probably 5. I remember red velvet and dinosaurs. We stopped on the way in Washington and visited my great great grandparents in the cemetery.

Our wings are not tired.

Lots to do in Pittsburgh. If you want a taste of tropical you can go to the Phipps Conservatory!

I remember standing under the tail of the Artist-Formerly-Known-As-Brontosaur, staring up in awe through the ribcage and up towards the head.

Oh, and the Cathedral of Learning! Such a gorgeous Gothic building and vaulted great hall, in that big tower.

Yeah, heard the Fort Hood thin on NPR but they had very little in the way of deets.

Still, I feel like if you're going to be safe anywhere, a military base in your own country ought to be it. Unless your country is Ukraine. (Thoug I keep picturing Mexico trying to annex Arizona by dying "it used to be ours, and there's lots of Mexicans being treated badly there!")
