Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cooooold out there today! It’s coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach? Not hardly. And you know, you can expect hazardous travel later today with that, you know, that, uh, that blizzard thing. That blizzard — thing. Oh, well, here’s the report! The National Weather Service is calling for a “big blizzard thing!” Yessss, they are. But you know, there’s another reason why today is especially exciting. Especially cold! Especially cold, okay, but the big question on everybody’s lips: Do ya think Phil is gonna come out and see his shadow? Punxsutawney Phil! Thats right, woodchuck-chuckers — it’s GROUNDHOG DAY! And also Bee Day!

i think from now on i’ll ration my fucks every monday morning
I feel like monday morning is when I have the least fucks to ration
Hah! Jane, I don’t hope for you to be stuck in a Groundhog Day situation, but I *do* hope you learn to throw punches today.
Someday I will learn to throw a proper punch, and then no mansplainer will be safe
from my weak little noodle arm punches
Laura showed us all how to throw punches at last camp’s self-defense 101
I have been dying to use that skill in real life since
Hopefully there will be a repeat of that this year and also hopefully I’ll get through the waiting list!
Yes! I would be so honored to teach you how to punch at A-camp.
Laura taught us punches! With the sounds!
No joke, sometimes I daydream about the punches I will throw at the next man who harasses me on the street/bus.
Maybe this year we’ll learn a useful everyday skill instead, like, “how to throw devastating verbal jabs 101.”
(jk, I am not qualified to teach that class. But I would take it.)
Man, that Ration Your Fucks graphic is the best thing I have ever seen on the internet.
So excited to play gay bar bingo five years from now when I’ll be able to visit one
Haven’t had time to read yet, but the graphic for this piece is amazing. Fuck rationing is a skill.
Also, I vote left. That movement could just as easily be something terrifying like a snake.
The next skill I would learn is answering questions with less than 3,000 words each
Me too. I think academia has led me to be expansive and wordy because I try to write a ten page paper every time I just need two sentences.
And I want to go to the right! Away from creepy noises, towards creepy movement I guess.
I agree! To the right, to the right!
I vote right. Leaves sound less intimidating than growling. Also, cats dig leaves.
Can I have Ration Your Fucks on a motivational poster, though?
I think I’m going to print it out and put it up on my wall anyway
I was just about to ask the same thing! Also, where can I buy one, please and thank you.
Yes I would definitely purchase a poster of this from autostraddle
yay Jane!! =)
:D
Living for “dykalikes”
TO THE RIGHT. Also this is reminding me a lot of the Triwizard Tournament.
I mean who doesn’t create a playlist for a burrito? It would be rude not to.
That fuck rationing graphic though.
Also, to the right!
Hey, @jajs! Shoutout to the two middle names club! My parents added my birth last name as a 2nd middle name when they adopted me. It is SO pretentious sounding and I love it. I insist on using both initials on my business cards for work. I also like to not put a space between the middle name initials for no particular reason (KaeLyn E.L. Rich). Anyway, solidarity on the 4-name name!
#wefancy
@kaelynrich YESssss! I love the initial middle name thing that you do; I insist on writing out my full name on official shit (my name takes up two lines on my business cards), which is at least as obnoxious and so delightful to me!
