Ugh. She's going to try to turn it around on you somehow... First she gets the boyfriend; then she gets the friends/co-workers; then she gets the power.

That's a good point, actually. If I had two jars of white crystallized substances on the counter I would probably think one was sugar and the other salt. Not one was sugar and the other one lye.

My boyfriend wears a pair of highlighter yellow running shorts for swimming. Just dick. Dick everywhere.

This story comes, as do most of my better ones, from my time working at Space Camp. I was working an adult weeklong camp during the off season and it came to the time of week when the campers participated in their extended mission which was eight hours long.

We dealt with rape gifs, violent pornography, racism, and harassment regularly, but there was a system in place with which to have it reported and dealt with. Banning didn't usually result in the same person immediately making a new…
