I am hell in high heels

"If someone breaks in dude, you beat the ever-loving shit out of them real hard dude, you beat the shit out of them, Chancho, you hear me?"

"You just beat the shit out of anyone who breaks in!"

1. Ferdinand Cheval tripped over a stone and was inspired by its shape, eventually stating, "It represents a sculpture so strange that it is impossible for man to imitate, it represents any kind of animal, any kind of caricature. I said to myself: since Nature is willing to do the sculpture, I will do the masonry and the architecture."

Here's the tripped-over sandstone in question, which explains some of the abstract design:

Oh, and also:

I’m going through my old journals from high school trying to find where I made a list of my dream publishers (Random House was on it). I haven’t found the list yet, but I did find, in my junior year journal, this photograph, and upon showing it to B he looked at me with heavy skepticism and said “…and NOBODY knew you were bisexual then? Are you sure?”

Actually, the claim that HRT doesn’t do much after puberty is a myth.  I started when I was 31 years old and now I’m 35. =)  

It’s never too late.

The top two pictures are from 2011, age 32. The bottom three are from this yeah, 2016, age 37, and (almost) 2 years on hrt. Hrt is magic.

Never.

It's a lot, for books aimed at eleven year olds who want to read about kids turning into fun animals.

On the podcast, the two (American) hosts happened to get onto the topic of the post-9/11 Iraq War and their reactions to it. They were both children at the time and as such could not be expected to have particularly nuanced views of US military policy. The person who hadn't read Animorphs was unsurprised by the declaration of war; that's what you did. Someone attacks America, America goes to war. That's how a country protects itself, through military revenge. The Animorphs fan, about the same age, had been devastated and against the war from the start. War was a Big Deal and, while sometimes unavoidable, should be a last resort; a lot of people were going to die, and a lot more were going to get hurt, and no matter how the war shook out it was still going to be horrible. They attributed this perspective, of course, to the series that had taught them about the horrors endemic to war in an engaging way at such a young age -- to Animorphs.

These girls will never truly retire.

They will say they will but then Zoey comes up with a new song that is just perfect and they all need to get it out in the world. This will slow over time but I feel like they will be Huntrix to the day they die.

As the group performs lessons, they probably pick up other hobbies.

Mira: goes either into fashion or opens a dance school.

Zoey: becomes a enviermentelist or branches out her writing

Rumi: Takes over sunlight entertanment or cultivates a hobby

Small Polytrix Au

After they retire, Rumi gets pregnant (donor or honmoon baby is up to you). She knows that being pregnant would make dancing (in Mira's' case) and doing environmental work (in Zoey's ' case) hard. This girl is also diligent when it comes to the baby's health.

Mira and Zoey: so whos girl to hold the kid?

Rumi pulls out a binder: I've already looked up the best doctors, diet, and exercise plans
