Still the 5C, just looking for an alternative.

Re, queer heroines: Would you believe the Star Wars novel Ahsoka is actually a tolerable read (I know! A readable Star Wars novel! Who knew?!) and also has a super-light-touch queer subplot? Seriously, we're talking feather-weight insinuations. Probably a grand total of 3 sentences in the entire book that give one…

The first volume of The Graphic Canon is a pretty good treatment of world literature. (The second 2 volumes, covering just Western lit in the 19th and 20th century, respectively, are weaker). Does that count?

My EMT pants have a separate velcro phone-pocket that probably wouldn't accommodate anything much bigger than a 5" screen:

Is there a chance the track could bend?

I think Apple would just generally prefer you bought a phone rather than any other single-purpose device. They've been gradually killing off the iPod line for quite a while now.

I thought *all* Arizona sayings were either racial epithets or else "it's still very hot"?

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST IN THE WIND….
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL WE ARE IS DUST IN THE WIND…

Me, I like to sing bawdy show-tunes at the top of my voice as I jog through neighborhoods at 6 A.M.

In a few more years we'll just be buying music in capsule form.

No, I also don't want you to take your fucking phone to the gym or running. I hate it when you do that.

I'm just now considering replacements for my 5C. I briefly tried a refurbished SE but it wasn't a meaningful improvement.

In 15 years, I've owned six phones but kept the same SanDisk Sansa MP3 player—powered by a removable AAA battery, baby! Drag-and-drop, no stupid 'syncing' for me!

I hear you. Me, I've even given up on the overheads; not to sound *too* much like I'm shilling a specific consumer good but I bought an Amazon Basics backpack. Fits enough clothes for pretty much any 3-4 day trip (and I usually prefer to only carry that many clothes for even longer trips and then just do laundry…

Fine.

I do and I am. It's shitty. It is also an absolute nonstarter for political campaigns.

All already IS lost.

In the context of a political campaign, yeah. If the left's playbook is, ever and always, "Pile into accusations of racism or misogyny, no matter how ineffective they're proving to be" then that has consequences. Nothing about the recent history of feminist candidates (i.e. Wendy Davis) says different.

You'll need electoral results to point to. Just being 'morally' right isn't good enough, not anymore.

Yeah. Sorry did I not make that clear? I don't care about sexism. Sexism will happen or it won't.
