I have read all of the small trove from my Saskatoon trip now and didn't dislike any of it! A brief write-up of them:

---How Do We Relationship: this was the other one on my wish list and it was a lot of fun. One reviewer said the two college women would really be far better as friends than lovers and I think that's probably true, but since this is ( Read more... )

I'd decided I was going to use Testors enamel paints for the stripes on my bike. I took Miriam to school today and ran some errands, including a trip to Michael's to get a brush and possibly paint thinner (unless buying mineral spirits at a hardware store turned out to be cheaper).

But while I was there, I saw that their permanent indoor/outdoor ( Read more... )

I had to print and sign a form for this job application. It's the first time I'm writing an official business-type signature with my actual name and I'm kind of excited about it to a slightly embarrassing extent. *happy puppy-girl noises*

It's another of my popular, audience-grabbing walls of text! This time with a content warning for violence against women, transphobia, racism and racist lyrics, and cultural analysis. You won't be able to put it down! ('Cause it's not a physical object! HA ( Read more... )

My family in Kenosha had a long term housemate who was living with them due to problems with his family. He's the kid who was killed by a motorist while biking home from his job at the ren faire. His father is in a position to make educational policy in Kenosha and is in favor of not allowing a transgender student to use restrooms assigned to his ( Read more... )
