Crazy cat lady, author, all around weirdo. She/Her
I was born in 1973 (and refuse to do the math so don't tell me how old I am)

I learned to draw the Cool S in 5th grade from a boy in detention. I then taught it to the girls in my math section. Next thing I know, the cool girl in our class was showing it to our teacher.

May Minnesota weather never leave their bones
May Minnesota nice haunt their dreams
May Minnesota noise live on in their ears long after they are gone.

Minnesota protects her people (all her people).

I'm tempted to encourage you to get the new mini printer, which wouldn't help you at all.

This falls directly into the tolerance paradox. If you advocate for shitty people to keep their jobs despite them being shitty, you make the work environment toxic for everyone else.

Oh wow, that's 1) amazing and 2) very much the feeling

One of my fellow panelists (a full time author) leaned forward with this look of shock on his face and said "I've never thought of it that way"

The rest of the panel ended up being about how to include sex in your world building.

(this was prior to my first Romance story)

I was on a worldbuilding panel at a Sci-fi con and mentioned how the environment (desert vs rainforest) affected the culture's relationship with sex. Half the audience groaned and the other half sat forward on the chairs.
