My girlfriend is napping on my bed with her butt peeking out from under one of my dress shirts. It's adorable.

I would visit MLA's Sorbet Corner.
Congratulations!

I'm just waiting for the rain of blood from the exploding heads of the sexists. This is gonna be great.

Fuck Kinja. I want to also add Fuck Disqus, but I will probably still miss it because Kinja sucks so much.
Fuck that I still have outrage fatigue. I haven't called my Reps in weeks because I feel that there's no point — the Rs will just ram everything through anyway.
Fuck also con drop. It's real and it sucks.

I went to TESFest with my girlfriend over July 4th weekend, and we had a fantastic time. I also had my first clients as part of the clinic portion of massage school, and that seemed to go pretty well.

But you gotta go outside to get inside! And right now there's a good chance you could catch fire in those few seconds!

Oh, fuck. I'm so sorry to hear that.

For this weekend's event, I made:
- A taco pie
- Stir-fried chicken marinated in honey, soy sauce, and garlic
- Pasta all'amatraciana
- Pico de gallo
and I went to a farmer's market and got some really good beef for making cheesesteaks, which came out deliciously.

Got 'em all printed out on my bedsheets.

I just read Tikva Wolf's Ask Me About Polyamory! The art is a little hard to get past, and some comics are Dinosaur Comics-level text-heavy, but it's a good introduction to how people handle poly and LGBTQ relationships.

Hooray that my girlfriend and I are going to spend the better part of a week at a kink festival! We've been looking forward to it for months and have been doing spreadsheets to plan out all of the activities and classes. We're probably going to need a vacation after this vacation…

Happy birthday to Iffy! I'm still a little leery of The Avocado — I still feel like i'd be an outsider there, but I'll give it a try next week maybe.
ETA: I also tried logging on to the TI forum, but got nowhere with that.

But now every dog in America is ready!
Fuck the Kinjapocalypse. Disqus sucks, but Kinja is so much worse.
Fuck politics, and fuck the GOP for their health bill and thinking that health care is still a privilege.

Are you surprised, though?

But you didn't die violently, which is what matters!

It's not mentioned in the article above, but her superpower is turning sound into light, which she can use to shoot lasers. For some reason, when she's introduced in the Dark Phoenix saga, she is super 70s, even being on roller skates.
