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

This Guardian article is so depressing. [link]

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yeah, I read that, and yes, depressing. And angry-making. I just want to whap people like that upside the head.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Too depressing to read all of, for me. Sigh. People are very disappointing. Not msbelle or lisah, of course.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I found this article [link] to be enlightening. Also, depressing.

I mean, Jesus, asshole who wants to see the world burn because it's not pure enough for his liking, fuck you. I have to live in it. MY KID has to live in it.

Thanks, guys. I won't fully feel free until I have an offer in hand, but this is an enormous weight lifted. It's gonna have interesting repercussions in the short term (I'll probably be pulled off testing after April, probably for a few months), but ultimately it is the right move for the institute and puts me where I want to be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That first article makes me hate people so much.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I am confident you are not always disappointing people.
I concur.
I ran a literacy event at school today (and yesterday) My older students worked with the lower school kids to have a bunch of "booths" to support literacy. There was a book buffet of donated books and (leftover comics from comic book day). Anyhow, it was....overwhelming. All of the books had been picked over and there was nothing left on the table after 15 minutes -- we had probably over 500 books and 200 comic books. Some of the books were donated by teachers and included scintillating titles like Adaptive School Reform Handbook. The students come from such a print deprived environment that even those books were taken by elementary students.
I'm feeling just verklempt about it.
