hey. heads up for the sensitive among us: some old loon came by the gate this morning and went the fuck off. dorothy waters. colchester local. grandkid was here last week for some internship opportunity and she had some opinions about it. i wouldn't be surprised if she comes back or goes looking for other opportunities to start shit.

so. there's that.

i'd share the footage but i've been told that would be an 'unprofessional violation of security protocols'. what can you do. but i've attached my favorite still for reference.

But what do we even do here to merit a big, angry opinion?

[coulee]

bro d'you ever turn on PBS ok well reason 1's existing

[nolitangere]

Well, sure, but that’s why they make us register.

[coulee]

putting us on a list doesn't make us go away. reason 2's that the ones who get pissed off about #1 a lot of the time don't think we should be doin things like research. poking around where we don't belong, probably getting up to stuff they think they won't approve of. classic shit.

[loudon]

Putting us on a list just makes it easier for people like that to know who to be angry at.

[nolitangere]

_{But it also makes it easier to get photo opportunities with Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti.}

[loudon]

Did that happen to you?

[nolitangere]

Yes? When he was mayor of LA he had an annual “Liminal Friendship Day.” If you showed up you got one of those cookies with the pink frosting that gets crumbs everywhere, and all you had to do was be present for the photo op.

[coulee]

makes us easy targets n the totally wrong ones to boot

[loudon]

Yes. Unfortunately.

[nolitangere]

[…] You’ve encountered people angry at you just because you’re a Liminal?

I mean, I freak a lot of people out, but nobody has ever gotten mad. That I know of?

[coulee]

ok so i'm gonna ask this and just keep in mind i've got a nice, respectful tone and i'm not trying to say anything about you as a person but like you went to a whole liminal school and they didn't teach y'all the real early stuff or what???

[nolitangere]

I mean, the real early stuff was happening while I was in school, I guess?

I wasn’t like, the most tuned in. Maybe it was discussed and I missed it. Was kind of working through the whole, “You are eleven and if you touch someone you might explode their liver” thing. I had sort of a selective focus in school.

[coulee]

[...] ok. then yeah people were angry at me just cause i was a liminal. IRIS was still disappearin us back then and the ones they didn't snatch up went missing more than a few times for a whole host more reasons.

[loudon]

My ex-fiancé called me a Demon and threw a mug at my head.

[nolitangere]

[…] A whole mug?

[loudon]

Yeah, like one of those really big ones that's basically a bowl.

[coulee]

ok but that guy was a bigot and a dickwad

[loudon]

I'm not saying he wasn't. I'm just confirming there are shitty people in the world.

[inosculate]

Oh, like SO many of the little old ladies used that one!

Also that's like super awful for somebody who actually KNOWS you to do. I'm sorry. Did you like totally kick his ass?

[coulee]

he kicked mine 🥰

[loudon]

Oh, it's their favourite.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I ugly cried for several weeks straight and fled the state.

[crawlwaller]

Really never?

[nolitangere]

[…] I guess because unless I touch someone, it’s hard to tell. And then usually when it does come up, I’m already their ER doctor and they have bigger things to care about.
