- 10:34 @scalzi Allergies in Ohio, but not in California? Dude, are you allergic to chestnut trees? (Stealth allergy discovered by self. Nasty.) #
- 10:35 I do not like recovering from being sick...anymore than I like being sick. This residual bronchitis is really unkinking my kink. Laws. #
- 11:01 @catvalente Oh ghaaads, immutable TRUTH again? Guess what. And the repeated 'don't ask mes' just make want to throw things. #
- 11:01 @catvalente But this guy wants me to listen to his opinion anway. Good grief. What utter nozzlehood. #
- 11:04 Disconnects from the weekend - going to church to discuss gender identity issues as part of becoming and O & A congregation. #ucc #
- 11:06 Most people go to church expecting to be told how right they are. We're actively searching out how to be wrong and live with it. #ucc #
- 11:07 Having a two hour conflict resolution training on Sunday evening is not what I would call a typical day at church. #religioussocialclub #
- 11:09 But the point of the exercise is becoming a place that doesn't erase people based on gender...or anything else, frankly. Affirms all. #ucc #
- 11:10 For this group of elderly white folks, this is pretty serious stuff. For them, not talking about it was doing it right - don't be rude. #
- 11:11 To be told that you must talk about it or you risk erasing who that person IS - kind of leaves them stranded. No basis to work from. #
- 11:13 And then telling them affirming means you accept who they are as valid with no shame involved. Yes, even openly homosexual folks. IT'S OKAY. #
- 11:14 So many of us can't wait. So many of us are terrified of what it means. But damn, they're there. What do we do to fix this? #ucc #
- 11:18 First step - seeing with eyes wide open that what is, is. No more 'better' or 'worse' than another. Not special. Not wrong. Just, what is. #
- 11:20 This is a bunch of privileged little old white people - who are being humbled by choice because they know throwing people out is wrong. #
- 11:21 They just want to know how to stop doing it. And remain speaking to the rest of the congregation, of course. #ucc #oanda #
- 11:23 Pretty scary stuff, and I love them to bits for it. #ucc #
- 11:27 I anticipate have a hotbed of little old people ready to rip the world a new one, know the word intersectionality and be able to use it . #
- 11:28 But humbling, oh man. They're doing it of their own free will - and I can't imagine an environment more accepting of being humbled this way. #
- 11:28 If we make it through. It's still a pretty big if. #
- 11:31 @sheepseatingme Thanks! I'm just...you don't think you'd ever see such a thing happening...and whomp, there it is. #
- 11:33 @seananmcguire Did they at least leave a note? "Hi, we went through your bags!" GREAT. #
- 11:34 @seananmcguire Stuff like this makes me certain I will be shipping my luggage ahead of me by carriers I can sue if they do that. #
- 11:42 I'm also a bit gobsmacked finding myself doing church stuff. Me. Before this, you wouldn't find me within 500 feet of a church. #
- 11:42 One, none of my friends would have been welcome and two, when they found out about me, I wouldn't be either. #weirdo #
- 11:45 These folks? No secrets and they elected me to leadership council. Deacon. Still shaking my head. #gottherightgirl #yousure #ucc #
- 11:48 @seananmcguire Makes one want to put sniffers out on ebay, it does. #
- 11:49 That reminds me. We need to replace the passports. #um #
- 12:54 @rosefox @colleenlindsay @charliejane Buh. Well, then. I suppose I could thank them for providing my teaching moment for church. I guess. #

- 19:20 Tonight, we ordered pizza in-kid's suggestion. Kid ate four pieces of pizza, no prompting. Full of cheese, he climbs into my lap & SPRAWLS. #
- 19:20 I think I can safely say that was the first time he's done that.Sit down, lay down...but not fling and sprawl with great abandon. Loved it. #
- 19:21 First day went about as well as I could have asked. I have a kid who does not nap...and this is the metric being measured right now. #
- 19:21 So, no sticker today. Will have to start dangling those carrots again. #
- 19:22 @rosefox Woooow. You're not kidding. #
- 19:23 @motherissues *fistbumps* I got all the tissues riiiight here. #
- 19:24 Guess who's turn it is to install a wireless printer! HA HA HA. Oh shit. #
- 22:03 And-printer installed, three machines across three OS platforms (including one Mac) configured and tested. Done de done done. HP, you win. #
- 22:04 I can print from anywhere I can send an email. I am going to be so spoiled. Until I have buy ink carts again, of course. #ow #
- 22:08 @Saraphina_Marie Yay! #fuckcancer #
