You should change it up, occasionally. Clap once, loudly, and say "OK, great meeting!"

If you're tucked away where people can't trip over you, I don't see the problem.

We have been with you in this existential fight from the beginning.
Ukraine has become the centre of our continent.
The place where our values are upheld, where our freedom is defended, where the future of Europe is written.

No matter how low they sink, they're always willing to dig deeper.
Just when you thought you'd seen the sickest shit #Republicans had to offer, here comes #Alaska State Rep. David Eastman. He thinks it's good for society when children die of abuse, because dead children can't grow up to use government benefits.

That's why I pulled out my thick, double-breasted wool coat to wear to work. And my insulated gloves.
Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to becomes aggressive and give you a nasty bite.
Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace
If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.
Because Iβm clearly incapable of not oversharing on the internet, I figured Iβd post a photo of the rest of my apartment to prove that I legitimately live in a studio apartment and not a fancy mansion so please donβt come rob me because I donβt have anything worth stealing and besides I set up a bunch of booby traps Home Alone style.
They got used to it, they began to let the children walk for a while with detailed instructions on how to act when the siren sounds, what mines are, where to run if rockets fly.
We are used to sirens and rockets. This is bad, because we stop hiding in shelters...
Children are playing in the street... rockets are flying. ..the resettled woman who came to our village fell on the road screaming in panic..she is scared, her house was bombed. ..the children scared, ran home in tears. 1/3π
Tomorrow will be February 24. My memories... It was scary to sleep. I set the alarm every hour to read that Kyiv is standing. It was scary to lose freedom, the feeling that if it is taken away you will not be able to breathe anymore.
The first days of spring... Children did not run around the street, parents were afraid to let their children out of the house. 1/2π
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
