Update: It stopped again. This chair's treachery knows no bounds. Love affair over, am thinking of naming it Lady Macbeth.

What kind of cruel world is this, where a dragoness's comfort is not paramount, and her massage chair can stop itself?

I think I'm going to stay in this massage chair the rest of my life.

Misgendered four times in succession at the dinner table, with my quiet "they, please" getting louder each time. They had the good graces to apologize after realizing what they were doing, at least. But still. That didn't feel great.

(Not asking the parents to do "she," since it feels really weird coming from them)

EVERYONE, A WORD IF YOU PLEASE:

Thanksgiving is upon us. Many of you are looking upon the day with dread, I know. Please know: you are not alone. You are not the only person who feels alienated when they're around family. You're not the only one who is dealing with judgmental, bigoted, prejudiced relatives.

That is not to attempt to lessen your struggles; they are valid! But you're not alone! You have a whole support network here. Be strong and pull through!

@Phorm​ So, do genies in the bottle behave as ideal gasses?

Confession: In Tears for Fear's song "Dog's A Best Friend's Dog" I still hear the line "Down the mountain rescue" as "Gallimimus Rescue".

I also think the song's kinda better that way.

I'll never forget when, as a child, I snuck downstairs on Christmas Eve and discovered Santa Claus was actually 8 raccoons in a red suit

That Monster 

The last time I contacted him, it was Christmastime and a little more than a year after everything went to hell. I laid out everything that he was responsible for as a result of his behavior, all the consequences that I was going through, all the damage that I was aware of, just how fucking messed up I'd gotten. I hoped at the time it ruined his Christmas.

I kinda hope that he spends December every year anxious that I'll suddenly show up and do it again.

So here comes the fucking panic symptoms again

You know what I fucking hate? I can't even search for my own fucking name on FA to try and find a picture without an image or two of That Monster showing up

A. Always.
B. Be.
C. Closing.
Always be closing!
Unless you can be a bird.
Then be a bird.
Don't be a closer, be a bird.

#meta #tea: Remember, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that machine that "invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea"?

Only decades after reading that, in an office in another country, did I first meet an older British "tea" machine. It could, in theory, produce chocolate, coffee, or tea; but invariably delivered a cupful of brown liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike any of them.

And I said, "Oh THAT'S what he meant."
