They need that extra padding in case of illness. Especially the ones with too few grandparents.

They’re sneaky! It turned out my thing I thought was my liver was actually my eyes (without glasses I get seasick).

When I was served my lawyer left me a message and I went and picked it up from the sheriffs’ office. I told the clerk I was kinda disappointed no one did the fake-flower-delivery because then I’d at least get flowers and she drew me some flowers on scratch paper. I treasure that to this day.

They finally have the algorithms to actually do the things they said Clippy would do and most of us are used to personalizing apps now so users can get rid of the parts they found annoying. (I turned off everything except the background animations and sounds. I want my purring kitty back!)

This is the one I was trying to figure out. The good news is I’m pretty sure the stage- and event-lighting field has more than a few people who’d be willing to give advice on this!

I had to re-write. Jaya does such a great job with whatever she’s handed AND she always has such insight when she finds her own topics.

Acknowledging queerness exists and has always existed is not the same sexualizing everything! (Although I do think friendship in general gets short shrift in media and that hurts.)

Me too!! The poor guy I had a crush on in junior high; between Much Ado, Philadelphia Story, and Remington Steele, I believed firmly that teasing, flirtatious banter was the correct way to show my love. I think I watched Much Ado at least once a week the summer I was 12.
