mh (+), 🐯, 🐉
After yesterday's shameful failure of temper control, I decided to take positive pre-emptive action.
Taking a hint from an episode of the Mighty Boosh, I tore a corner off this week's Stranger and had Peg draw an cute tiger and dragon snoozing on it.
Then I asked her to put it in her pocket, and wave it in front of me every time I start to redline.
Today's actually been great so far, so it hasn't been necessary except as a fun running gag (and I mean, they are fucking adorable, aren't they?) but it's comforting to know it's there. :)

Speaking the Stranger and being pissed off... did anyone else kinda want to knee the Anonymous letter guy in this week's edition in the groin? The one sputtering about how it's Just Plain Mean to subject a whole category of people to any criticism whatsoever, and how any of us could have exactly what every tech bros has if only we applied ourselves? And apparently accidentally forgot that women and queer people exist and ALREADY have KNOWN problems getting into tech that he just blew off completely?
Oh, well. You're the ones who are going to have to deal with him and his Bad Haircut Bros, not me. ;p
