Just a few days ago I tried again. Turned out my password was too long…

The curse of having been in Oklahoma! in high school: I sometimes randomly sing the chorus from the titular song if I see it mentioned
Not really any of the others, but the big number I got to dance with a girl in a pretty dress and if I couldn’t be her, well, at least I got to be near her briefly

electrician coming out tomorrow to take a look, dreading how much money that will be
electrical issue isn't reproducing, and I have reached about the end of my DIY diagnostic capability, the outlet tester claims everything is wired correctly, and the GFCI breakers trip when pressed.
I'm going to keep an eye on things for now, I guess

hot take: There was nothing wrong with the dresses that the 5 of the Mane 6 got Rarity to make
sure, they are, perhaps, a LOT, but they were what they wanted, and as someone who goes around wearing what I want (Miss Frizzle esque dresses), fuck the haters

Clipper 2 makes Caltrain transfers much more cost competitive for short trips. With electrification, frequent service, and now fare parity, the Bay Area is closer than ever to a modern, integrated urban-suburban rail system.
Starting Dec 10, most Bay Area transit transfers will be free for two hours. If you take AC Transit to BART then transfer to Muni, your fare today is $9.10. With Clipper 2, the free AC and Muni transfers mean your fare will be just $3.90

*four years old* and I knew something wasn’t right, knew that the body people were seeing and reacting to didn’t fit with who I was. I was crying. bringing this photo home made me cry. this was the early-90s, nobody was “putting” that stuff in my head
