This makes my brain hurt.

FFS. I'm going to be in Paris in a few days. This shit is ruining it.

They were going to call me Muriel. After a grandmother. I'm sure Muriel works on some people just great - it would not fit me. I was named after the other grandmother instead. Muriel was shunted aside, and the maiden name of Gran Muriel was used as my middle name.

I suppose I have an alternate reality name: Muriel…

Kat, your teaching ability and your Jezebel position always interact. :)

Cressida Bones truthing time. Can't be her - no scrunchie.

I have had forehead wrinkles since I was a teenager. I've had scars that look like wrinkles for longer. I have always "looked" my age. I will probably continue to "look" my age, without any intervention.

BAM! outta the park.

OH MY GOD! Children! Confused! Confused Children!

Understanding transition is way easier than the US tax system, immigration, Afghanistan, war, cobbling, earwax, the purpose of toenails, The Ukrainian Situation, Hungary's new dictatorship, sex trafficking and tourism, pruning a tree, growing a rose, "synergy". The list…

What I'm getting from this is that you would rather see a think piece on how his white cis-male privilege contributed to his thought processes of "let's go murder a bunch of kids". And how that commonality of privilege amongst so very many mass murders has bearing on incident prevention.

I've been working on a piece relating the issues the MRM brings up to how feminists have already been working on those exact same issues since women were given the slightest of voices. To do that, I went into the MRM rabbit warren of hate, and emerged enraged and frightened. Enough that I stopped writing about, and…

You are doing sprouts wrong. They can be sweet and crunchy and buttery and awesome.

My point is that any form of communication elicits a real response from the audience. There may be a million different methods which range from pointless to promising, but they are all responses to a stimulus. There is no one communication to such a vast audience that will be able to produce a beneficial effect. So…

I just checked my boobs.

I'm not sure that people would be accessing the hardware (or the fluid) through medical friends.

Are there Camelot chips to go with my Tintagel pasty?

I love me the Classics. I spent 7 years studying Latin, and several years as the head of the school Classics club. It's so satisfying to read poetry in a different language and understand it, with having to resort to crude translations.

That looks intense.

You can wear a sari. You can wear a kimono. You can wear a kaftan. But you should, at the very minimum, understand the historical context from which those clothing items come from. As long as you don't walk around saying "ugh, I don't know. I like it 'cause it's flowy and, like, exotic".

Surprise! Some people with untrimmed pubes respect themselves!
Surprise! Some people with trimmed pubes don't respect themselves!
