Fraction and Brubaker's Immortal Iron Fist jumped right into my mind at this question. Also, Rucka's Batwoman.

They've actually gotten kinda worn out on the soles because I've worn them so much. My parents are like, "next time we're at the outlets, we'll just get you a new pair of real ones." I would have been happy to just get the crock-offs again.

I did that with a pair of Converse low-tops once. Stained the white part on the toes burgundy, though, sigh.

I'm a woman and I wear shorts when it's hot out because I spent my teens and twenties being too self-conscious to wear anything but jeans in the summertime and I damn near overheated one too many times, and now I'm just too goddamn old and interested in my own comfort to give a shit what anyone thinks about how I look…

I have a pair of knockoff Crocs I got at Five Below almost a decade ago. I wear them around the house and to garden in. They're durable, easy to hose off, and sturdy in a way that slippers or canvas tennis shoes aren't. (I've been around too many gravy incidents to want to ruin my nice tennis shoes.) I don't wear them…

But was he as awesome as Emperor Norton I?

Aw, now I feel a little bad about seeing his photo and thinking, "that dude has axe-murderer eyes" after reading that he's apparently really nice.

I don't know why I clicked on this. I don't know why I clicked on the video. All I know is that I must be either an idiot or a glutton for punishment.

Whatever, nerds, I like it.

It's awful, isn't it, that sickening feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop? You just know it's coming.

And to you too, hiya.

I think, too, that I could have done more. And I know I can still do more, so I keep trying. I'm also trying not to let myself fall into the trap of, "what difference does it make, who cares what I do" even though I can't see much of a reason to keep trying because we're backsliding so terribly that it feels like…

I wish I could feel more hopeful. But it's been 6 months and nothing is happening. There's no accountability, still. These people can do anything they want and get away with it. We're backsliding badly into anti-intellectualism and bigotry, in ways I've never seen in my (admittedly short) lifetime before. It's…

I really, really wanted to think more of people and I've tried hard to not fall into the trap of "everyone who doesn't agree with me is a piece of shit". But I just…I think this election broke a lot of my faith and trust in my fellow Americans. I feel betrayed and heartbroken.

You look like a Boyz II Men Easter album.

I'm really excited for this movie. It was one of my favorite books growing up, and I think it still might be.

Ahhh, thank you!

Thanks! I have a plate and screws holding it together thanks to a car accident years ago.

Yes!

At this point, I'd move to goddamn Alaska if it meant I could get a new job.
