$30,000 and 30,000₩ are violently different prices.

One is enough for a car. The other is enough for a nice dinner out.

Holy mackerel... I forgot to convert between Won and USD when I was looking at something and I thought someone wanted $30,000 USD for a desk.

You'd think I'd know better by now.

I found the suitcase measurements for the airline we're using!

... now I need the suitcases and a measuring tape.

I am... finding the size luggage that is allowed on the flight next Saturday. See me focus. I can do this. I can find flight information.

Brought to you by someone confused that my son is wearing one of my old shirts and his little sister has inherited a few of his.

I have pictures of all four of my kids wearing the same skateboarding shirt. Gender is irrelevant because it's a t-shirt.

Quick Reminder:

Clothes are gender neutral.

Colors are gender neutral.

Haircuts are gender neutral.

Unless you're in North Korea, people get to wear whatever they want. You use the pronouns they give you and you let them wear their clothes in peace. Okay?

Okay.

Glad we had this chat.

I took migraine medicine six hours ago and I'm finally awake and feeling like a human being again just in time for bed. Yeah?

He was showing me a pin that looks like what you get when you've lettered and letter again (I do not know how else to explain this - sorry to the non-Americans in the crowd) and he has an award for his algebra grade. I just...

Bug, my almost-15yo son, goes to an international school here that tries to be like stateside schools so they have letters and letter jackets.

Bug may have lettered without noticing.

I vaguely remember this being important to people in the beforetimes.

Languages are frustrating sometime because, yes, in English Channel and Canal both mean "a ditch that might have water" but English uses Channel for TV and Spanish uses Canal and I don't like. No me gusta. No me gusta mucho.

Someone called a cassowaries Industrial Goth Geese and I love that.

If you leave me to my own devices there are only two options:

1) I will forget the thing exists and go do whatever I want

2) I will completely take over the project, enlist help where needed, and the thing will get done

I'm highly suspicious of people who say a celebrity woman is responsible for everything her fans do.

That's not how individual choice and agency work. Women are not responsible for your behavior. Not even if you like them.

You are responsible for your own behavior.

I am having focus issues this morning. My brain keeps careening away from what I'm supposed to be doing and even my editing playlist isn't helping.

I think about that a lot this time of year.

*pats Young Liana on the head fondly*

... I remember telling her that her frustration made sense and not dating guys sounded like a great idea. I wanted her to be happy.

About ten years later I realized she was trying to come out as bi.

I'm very slow on the pick-up.

Back in the late 90's my best friend who had graduated came back from a year at college and asked if I wanted to go to dinner with her, her treat. I was hungry and said yes.

She brought along one of our guy friends who was openly gay and talked about how she was struggling with dating guys...

If you're upset about LGBTQ+ humans you are 100% not ready for any biology class. Citrus will make you cry. Clownfish will give you nightmares. And we won't even talk about what they do in the deep sea.

Some books are like THE HOBBIT and there's a big adventure but no one actively moving against the hero from the get-go. Other books are antagonist-driven.

If you're writing a murder mystery, the murderer's plans influence everything in the book.

I do have a non-fic writing book that I'm continually adding to and the title is PLOT LIKE A VILLAIN (and Write Like A Villain & Edit Like A Villain). One day it will be done and published.

Some stories need you to think about what the antagonist is doing before your hero acts.
