You disgust me.

How could he possibly have time to be a travel agent, what with running his check cashing scam and pretending to be three hysterical women on the internet? That's a full day!

"The Screwfly Solution" by James Tiptree, Jr. Literally chilling — there's a middle section involving violence done to female scientist, all off screen, that made me sick to my stomach.

When your Slayer is having to make ends meet at the fucking Doublemeat Palace, maybe you should reevaluate how you organize her support.
