                Do not forget the overwhelming sensation to gouge out one’s “mind’s eye”. But realistically, there’d be a dorm wide revolution if she instituted cavity searches. There’s a lot more of them and one one of Ruth.

        Some people don’t realize this because they only read Dumbing of Age. And that’s all they need to read. Bringing up years of conflicting continuity from another tangentally-related webcomic that chronicles a similar but different universe is just going to confuse.

                  Just a comment; never posted here before. I came here to read DoA originally, never having heard of It’s Walky or any of the rest, and while it was decent, it didn’t really hold my attention much. Once I found out it that this was a reference to another comic with a ton of characters that were already developed, I went back and read the whole archive (just finished like a week ago), and I can definitely say that DoA is a lot more interesting to me now.

                  Having an understanding of characters’ personalities helps out tremendously, and I’d be sorry to see people miss out on that.

              This is why I’d suggest making drastic changes to familiar characters, so people can’t relate them to their original versions so much.

    Wow, not only is Ruth a terrible RA because she’s horrible to her residents, she’s also terrible because she’s too dumb to ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS lock her door. Even while she’s inside the room. No seriously, ALWAYS.

      To be fair, Ruth just walked in the room. She didn’t even have a chance to close the door.

      Why she didn’t close the door behind her (or look down the hall both ways) is a completely different question.

        Even if the hallway was on FIRE you’d lock the room. And I’m not exaggerating, the doors are fire retardant in any decent dorm and it would increase the chance of your stuff not burning up.

    Even if Billie makes it out of there alive and with her uniform, Ruth obviously going to know it went missing and it’s pretty easy to figure out who did it… Even if Billie does a smart thing and goes to some higher level of authority about Ruth’s behavior, we all know Ruth’s still going to find tons of ways to get at Billie.

    Why would she do this? I have no idea.

    Ok, so I have an idea, but I’m pretty sure it’s wrong.

    Maybe.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. 

Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...

I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. 

A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her

Celebrating the last hours of Pride Month by posting one of my favorite things, the letter that stands as the first written evidence of “queer” used as a positive, self-ID term, written from Cyril Coeur de Leon aka “The Countess” to Billy Reynolds.
A typewritten transcription of a letter 

Flat 14a,
Montague Hotel, Montague Street,
Russell Square, W.C.1.

My Dear Billy,
just a note to say that I am very disappointed about
you, I honestly thought that you were queer, ax& but different from the others, and I liked you very much. I didnt intend coming to the Club last night only I felt that I must see you. I have only been queer since I came to London about two years ago, before then I knew nothing about it, as I told you I am married and have a little girl two years of age, and I still like girls occasionally, there are veryfew boys with whom I want to have an affair with, I like them all as friends
but nothing more. I have a boy staying with me and who is really my affair, we have been together now since I came to town and I like him very much, and I think he is a better pal to me than any woman could ever be, altho' sometimes I wish that I was still normal as queer
people are very temperamental and dissatisfied. I honestly hoped to have an affair with you Billy, and I shall only come to the Club to
see you. Well it is now 10-p.m. and I have just got up out of bed so must close down and have a bath and dress, and hope that you will
excuse my telling you all this only as I say, I like you very very much and feel that I can talk this way to you. Please be a dear boy and destroy this note, and do not mention it to anyone as this is jusu between you and I. I shall look forward to seeing you in about a couple of hours. Until then.
Your Very Sincere friend always,
Cyril Coeur
de Leon.
