My fellow bitches under 5'5. Whatever the money, do not take a job working at a middle school. A fellow adult tried to put me in detention last month and would NOT give up until I showed her my badge proving Yes, The School Hired Me To Work Here. It's not meant for people our height.

Sometimes you need to sleep, sleep a lot. Not to escape, but to rest your soul from your feelings. Because everything, absolutely everything devours you. Completely.

[INTERNAL MEMORANDUM – REDACTED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE]

We have received no credible reports of visual desynchronization events today. That said, you are reminded of Standard Personal Stability Protocol #43:

“If your reflection blinks at the wrong time, do not panic. Simply make eye contact and ask for credentials.”

A proper reflection will respond with your standard narrative anchor phrase. An improper reflection will hesitate, distort, or ask you a question in return. In that case, kindly report the incident to your local DOS field kiosk and avoid all mirrors for 72 hours.

There is no current evidence of widespread reflection drift. This is simply a precautionary measure. Do not cover your mirrors. They will notice.

Thank you for maintaining narrative integrity.

we need to step away from viewing marriage as inherently romantic, or the primary goal of romance. marriage is a legal contract we use to create important ties--financial, medical, next-of-kin, mediating shared property and parental rights. the details vary a lot based on where you are and what paperwork you sign. which is not very romantic! but it does have many real-world effects on our ability to share our lives with our partners.

first and foremost, marriage is a legal right we use to build and protect our families, whatever that family may look like
