Wait. As a reader of many historical romances, I have questions. Have they always been sterile? Would it have been safe to leave, say, the bullets of 1815 in people? Are all those plot points just romance medicine (cc @fatedmates.net)?

I loved them both but only want to reread one, and it's not Shelley.

Was just thinking of how you clarified this as I read www.thecut.com/article/taki...

Coffee and maybe a good time for a baked good treat?

Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.

Well that is just.... a real choice.

I have a lot of trouble with policies that make it less likely people will vote! To claim that as a goal strikes me as deeply odd and undemocratic.

And now there's a proposition to move city elections to on cycle. I've been really interested by the arguments for/against. Some people want that off cycle weight because it brings attention and more focused voters, others just want... more voters.
