Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The words actions in the past 24 hrs by the gov, mayor and police would be comical IF THEY HADN'T DONE THIS ONCE BEFORE TO TERRIBLE RESULTS.
Jesus, it's like they collectively drink stupidwater and are trying to drive headlong into a wall.
"BPD acknowledge officers from other jurisdictions in city, in staging capacity. If donning protec equip, not bc of specific need at moment. "We certainly dont want that visual to look like we're expecting something, because we aren't" Had hoped to keep staging discreet, spox says

There seems to be a portal opening up over the lake, there's a bright beam of light coming down out of the sky. Oh, wait, that's sunlight. Co-worker: "The sun! It's forgiven me! No, come back, sun!"

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
What do you get when you have a quiet cul-de-sac with 7+ inches of snow, a 19 year old boy, and his car? Donuts. You get donuts through the snow. Goofy boy. On the other hand, he has also been shoveling more than just our property.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Wait, what sara? I can't parse what's going on but I'm sure your diagnosis of stupid is on point.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Paid my personal property tax on time, like an adult. Forgot to transfer the money to cover payment from savings into checking. $400 overdrawn. *facepalm* See, I keep a line of credit open for just this kind of stupid fail, so I'm only in debt now, not drowning in NSF fees. Still. Stupid.

Always Anti-fascist!
Most bomb scares are bullshit, but it's better to check, I guess? Don't envy the person that had to make the call, though.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I am legit so stressed about the enormity of buying a car that I have to take an Ativan and I'm watching Avengers (it's my big comfy blankie movie).
I am ridiculous. But Jesus, I just transferred 5 figures from my savings to my checking, and I almost hyperventilated. It's all just so HUGE.
(You can tell I've never bought a house before. That might make me spontaneously combust.) (And every other car I've bought, I've financed it, so I didn't have to write a giant check of my own money.)

Just remember Teppy, you don't have to buy it tonight. Or tomorrow. I mean, if you do buy it good for you but you don't have to!
I'm a bit sad because I ordered a painting of a friend's dog on etsy (sent in pictures and stuff) and told my friend (it wasn't supposed to be ready until after Christmas) and she was super excited. But the artist just emailed me a copy of her picture and...it's not great. It's ok, but....not really what I pictured. And now I worry my friend will be super disappointed too! :(
