seriously, nothing says "they're a keeper" like having your romantic partner come to the abortion clinic with you! still have mine more than twenty five years later.

They were all annoying and deeply inadequate humans, but I didn’t want to kill them. Okay, maybe a little.

this is especially fun when the characters who disagree are in a relationship and the person they disagree about has information or something useful to the plot

I can't read a lot of "cozy" fantasy for this reason - the ones where the MC is self employed but never seems to do any work and always have plenty of money are especially egregious this sub-contractor.

there's even a historical parallel in the sense that China had fireworks for a good long time before anyone thought to weaponize the stuff going bang

anything by Tanya Huff but Into the Broken Lands if you want dark and intense, and Direct Descendant if you want lite and fun The Reanimator series by Kara Jorgensen, if you like paranormal The Changeling series by Jennifer Butterworth for high fantasy

Holy shit I just saw a post about a company that is making washers and dryers with knobs and buttons. No screens, no shitzillion settings, no annoying little electronic song when it’s done. Could it be? They’re realizing we don’t need our laundry machines to post to Twitter or send faxes?

I agree with you! Teens have next to no bodily autonomy and most adults don't seem to see that as a problem.

helpful for kids with irregular periods, too I mean, it's phrased in a hostile way, but that's just the way teens are treated in general. That's the real issue, imo, that teens are treated like shit overall.

this isn't new - my high school was doing something like this in the 80s but we only got three "m days" a month. it's for kids who don't use tampons, so they don't bleed into the pool. As someone with a longer period, I'd have appreciated a way to validate that.

Maybe we're fed up with the generation that thought segregation was good and who gave us Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan trying to tell us that socialism is bad.

If they don't have the snaps you want, try Sailrite. They also sell the tools. I think their shipping is by weight, though, if price is an issue. www.sailrite.com
