The staff bathroom at my eye doctor is the HEIGHT of chic. Every wall, floor to ceiling, just… so chic.

I have been feeling very keenly lately the little voice of the creature on my shoulder, who is neither a being of virtue nor vice but rather one that is trying to stop me responding on the internet when it’s preferable to just… not.

One day I will compile and release my treatise On the Sacred Duties of Being Front Row at a Gig and the world will be forever changed and remade into a better, kinder, more supportive world for all.

I'm going to a concert tonight and even though it's not my favorite DC venue (I love you forever, 9:30 Club), it's a seated venue, a thing which I hated in my 20s and now clutch to my 42 year old heart like a wild and precious thing!

Every time people try to talk about their #over/under experience, I flashback to Milliways and being just as mystified from the outside as it consumed half my friends list.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Haverford’s approach to student self-governance is one of the most moving things I was a part of as a young person becoming an adult, and one I carried out into the world with me proudly. The imperfections in the system were acknowledged with the call toward bettering the system and ourselves.
“Haverford College seeks to take a restorative approach to conflict rather than a retributive one. Retribution is punishment; restoration is repair.”
Toward a University of Repair - Public Books
What was so unique about Haverford College that it was worth mocking in a Congressional hearing?

My ability to think of a work task that needs to be done and forget it instantly as soon as my eyes focus on something else is truly, truly incredible. Still don’t know what I forgot! Pretty sure I need to do it quick!

My job doesn’t actually pay me enough to live on (hence the other two jobs I have), but it DOES let me be a goofy teaching artist and make dumb jokes with kids so that they excitedly wave at me when they see me in the halls, and the thing is, that’s SO GOOD.

Here's a long shot: is there anyone who can talk to me about their experience in the room during KOllOK 1991's "City Council" episode? (by which I mean non-Driver players)

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS
Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark
Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap
The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name
He did this six times
Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

I'm going to need for everyone to make prayer circles to keep snow away on Saturdays in January, because those are going to be my training shifts to be a volunteer at the horse rescue. Horses!! Finally! Again!!

S5 of Babylon 5 is often rocky as JMS scrambled to account for a multitude of unexpected changes behind the scenes (including having a S5 at all). But in all the reshuffling, JMS built in time for an extended leave-taking as characters got to bid each other goodbye in parallel to the audience.
