Yes, well put, msbelle!
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

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

In what even is this world news: we do business with BJ's Wholesale but we haven't sole them anything in a while so I was wondering if they were one of our customers who had gone bankrupt. With some nervousness I googled (ducked, I suppose, although I like generifying google) for news which somehow got me to Cardi B and Nicki Minaj's latest twitter beef as reported by Realtor.com because, apparently, they both have invested heavily in, like, big houses?
So that's a thing I know now. I doubt it will last long in my brain, but I felt I had to share.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
As susal, Nilly has said it much better than I could. If I have hurt or offended anyone here, I apologize and ask for your forgiveness.
After I shut down tonight, I will be basically offline until Monday. The annual folk retreat is this weekend, and wi-fi access is scarce.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I suppose it takes a Gentile to love Yom Kippur... but its only because I'm sure to see Nilly!
Who, for the umpteenth year running, has done me no ill whatsoever :)

Punishingly Intricate
It is always good to see your words here. Nilly, no matter when.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Much love to you and yours, Nilly; it's always good to hear from you. You remain one of my favourite humans on the planet.
I'm with Trudy on this -- I've been on the outside/goyisch fringes of Jewish communities all my life, and have absorbed some "culturally Jewish" behaviour by osmosis; this has largely been inadvertent (and I have not seriously considered converting) but my life has been enriched by my friends and those communities, so I hope it comes across as appreciation and not appropriation.
As I said in a journal entry a while back, "Not everyone I recognize as one of My People recognizes me as one of theirs. And that's all right."

Karl, one year DH sent out a Yom Kippur OOO email saying basically "I'll be off tomorrow atoning" and someone replied with "I thought only Jesus could atone for our sins" with complete sincerity so I for one appreciate the appreciation!

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm...not an especially informed Christian(more culturally observant, I suppose) but that seems like the wrong response. Kind of like how people talk about the letter vs. spirit of the law. Sometimes the thought of Nilly offending people strikes me as funny, but everyone has their moments.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Here's the text exchange with my Pilates instructor this morning.
Her: How are you feeling today? I know we pushed a little yesterday...
Me: Everything is intact. My ass didn't fall into the toilet.
That's the standard at this point in my life. Did my ears fall off? Nope? All good then.
Her: I think that's a good baseline to set, sure! "Are most of my body parts still attached and where they were beforehand? Excellent!"
Me: The key word being "most." You can't expect your spleen to be where you left it.
Her: It likes to go on adventures.
Me: Not all who wander are lost...
Her: It's on Rumspringa
