do y'all not have scorpions up there, bc if so frankly i would like to move in. i do not ever want another scorpion in the bathtub incident, twice was about three times too many
(yes fine scorpions aren't insects; they're still arthropods, and sting-y, and gross when you squish them. they're bugs.)

I have belatedly realised this might have been a moderately baffling skeet for the OP rah was replying to, so uh: it is basically a very old joke amongst the volunteers and staff of Dreamwidth about the cthonic horrors that exist in the codebase. ia ia.

idk, the laptop is probably easier to manage to piss in/on. like, it's definitely a higher value target to ruin! but. the keurig was an incredibly impressive feat of piss terrorism on a logistical level!

do the girls, uh, know to keep their clothes in their bags and behind a door Ruth cannot get to and not to leave their electronics around, because I feel like all of their earthly belongings are probably also going to be considered fair targets as well

you know, if there weren’t a camera *right* there in the garage, I would’ve slipped and fell with my keys in my hand against the Babykiller 9000 truck parked in a disabled spot without a hangtag or plates

it's a fucking urgent care. it should be goddamn mandatory to mask. like, I am a realist about masking more generally; I don't love it but I recognise it is an even harder sell than safer sex practices, but I am just so fucking furious about the fact that we caved on masking in *medical settings*.

I learned this from public speaking as: tell them what you’re going to tell them, tell them, them what you told them.
