me: *sitting at computer making "ooooh" squeaks*
Spouse: *comes over to see what I'm looking at*

Spouse: .... yep, it's legit.
whenever i'm gonna be telling ppl for the first time that i use a chair, now i make sure to phrase it: "i use a wheelchair now – it's great"
bc i've noticed if i leave off the "it's great", about half the time they'll go "omg i'm so sorry for u" and then i have to explain that it's good actually
so it's much easier to proactively go "it's great", instead
Fun fact: "zeal" and "jealousy" come from the same root, Attic Greek ζῆλος. They diverged immediately afterward in Latin and took different routes to get to modern English.
(Latin picked up the "zeal" meaning as "zelus" and the "jealousy" meaning as "zelosus"; "zelus" became Old French "zel" became Middle English "zeal", while "zelosus" became Old French "jalous" became Middle English "jelous/gelus".)
I mean I guess I could just get a plain color hoodie but I want something at least a bit more interesting?
Hmm, possible third option: screenprint my own. Again though, a fair bit of work for something that might only last a year or two.
Hrm. Want to get a new work hoodie. Wonder if I can find one that's
- cheap enough that I don't mind destroying it (<$30)
-looks at least somewhat professional for an electrician
-not just a random brand
-bonus: at least kinda femme
Any suggestions for places to look? Backup plan is to just get another pink high-vis hoodie.

@green iirc it was penny arcade, SMBC, Questionable Content, xkcd, and Cyanide and Happiness.
(I wrote about portrayals of women and queers in the five most popular webcomics. Turns out hit webcomics have audience sizes comparable to primetime television.)
Also I still appreciate that one 300-level class for actually getting me to do legit original research before I dropped out.
lewd silly joke
