Happy birthday meara!
anyone who spends most of their day in an institutional setting like a school absolutely falls in that category. Since they don't check, fuck RFK Jr. and his brain worm. Shots for everyone!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Our wings are not tired.
Late to the computer screen this morning, but in time to send happiest birthday wishes to Meara! I hope this is a year filled with joyous surprises.

Happy birthday, meara!
Yesterday I gave up on finding the motivation to assemble and charge my weed trimmer, and instead grabbed some gardening gloves to spent a while pulling crab grass and weeds out of my front shrubbery bed by hand. In addition to day job, rug cleaning, and sweeping floors it made for a productive day.
I also heard from my mom that she started playing around with the beginner's watercolor kit that I got her for Christmas. I had to point out to her that she shouldn't expect results better than a kindergartener's at first because they have the same amount of experience at painting. But it sounds like it's going to be fun for her now that she's overcome inertia and started dabbling.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Happy birthday, meara!
What a complete clusterfuck. Pix, darling, preserving life includes your own. Lying in this instance is not evil.

I am utterly unsurprised that Utah is on the list. Jim is headed there for a conference in November and his luggage will include extra masks and a couple of the flu/COVID combo tests.

Thanks y’all! I woke up feeling like crap but am hopeful the meds are finally kicking in and I’ll have a nice evening DJing for dancing

Always Anti-fascist!
I feel like I should write a long post to catch up, as tribute,Meara, but it's kind of not like that around here, anymore.
