Please enjoy this photo of me as a toddler.
I look like an angry jelly bean.
"the secret scientists don't want you to know!!" Dude have you ever met a single scientist? My scientist friends are desperate for me to know about the changing mating habits of Brown marmorated stink bugs. They're screaming at the top of their lungs to tell you EVERYTHING.

Good ways to end a chapter – cliffhanger, bombshell, wry quip.
Bad ways to end a chapter – frustrated gibberish from keyboard pounding, breaking the fourth wall and swearing at your own characters for their lack of motivation, writing [put something interesting here] and forgetting to do it.

A lovely little day today. Attended a sign-language class, picked bub up from daycare, lots of cuddles, two no-cry naps, cooked, cleaned, working on my PhD now while he kips. It's not always this easy but my goodness it's nice when it is.
@skribe I haven't worn eyeshadow in years. His mum laughed and said "Meg, this is the most femme I've seen you in a while". She's not wrong!
Tonight my little cousin did my makeup. We talked about how all actors wear makeup, even if you can't tell. We talked about cosplay makeup, and then I showed him a photo of a drag queen and told him what contouring is.
He looked like his heart was going to explode.
@skribe No, but only because I do eventually rescue my son from the Ravine and Elon has to stay there.

@Denisemills That is such a kind thing to say - thank you, I appreciate you. I was a little worried when I was told about a pink/red colour scheme because I didn't want it to look too femme, but I think it came out looking very sleek!
@tlwvision Ah! Thank you, that's good advice!
