I once worked a 3rd shift by myself because the dude who was supposed to be serving passed out from a coke binge.

A drunk girl and her drunk friends came in during the bar rush, and besides being cool as shit, she popped her tits out on the high bar so I'd make her hash browns with extra love.

GAO: So what I can do and I DO GRANT THE PETITION FOR HABEAS CORPUS
Releasing her from her custody.

As to the status that's she's in as to any other matter, including transportation out of this country, that's not something I can do.

Focal distance is kinda a bitch too. And I can forsee a number of countermeasures. But infantry in a disco ball uniform would be pretty sick.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee.

I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

Turns out the fewer mediums you need to move power through, the more efficient the system! Who would have thought!

I'm working on some cool non thermal plasma shit. Science is cool. Making shit is cool. Playing with high voltages and controls and making PhDs sweat is cool.

People will be mad at me for saying this, but I think we have to do it. Nothing is more important for the future of this country, and indeed humanity, than the app that makes you schizophrenic and helps you forget how to learn. The juice is worth the squeeze.
