i was trying to explain fandom censorship issues to my mom the other day, and it made me realize if Those People had Their Way i wouldn’t have found SH when i did. i know you had the kid version but that is... not... what i read first
I read my first explicit fanfic when I was 14 or so, I think? It was the real wild west back then. And yeah I’m sure if I were writing and posting SH/LC I’d be in a lot more hot water for stuff like the kids experimenting with romance and sex as young teens, but like...I was. Most people I knew when I was 14-16 were.

considering they're indoor cats and you're really strict about making sure they don't get outside, I don't think you have too much to worry about with a late rabies booster
No, but I worry a bit that if I ever had to, absolutely had to board them, I wouldn’t be allowed because their shots aren’t current. And if Deebs did flip out again and bite someone and her Rabies wasn’t up to date, even if she had no possible way of having it, that could go really really badly for her.

how do you even mark that your tumblr has sensitive content? I can't find the setting any more.
I think at this point it’s just something Tumblr does TO you.

Northwestern Cutlery not taking in sharpening anymore? Last time I was at Sur La Table they offered sharpening services, too, and you didn't even have to buy anything. Sharpening by Dave does the Farmer's market circuit - next one in the city is Lincoln Square on Tuesday mornings.
Oh, they’ll still do sharpening and I might start mailing mine in, but they’re moving out of the city, way out to the burbs where it’s tough for me to get to.

Your plot makes sense to me, Sam, but I take anonymous's point as well. unCourt feels clunky linguistically, and you could still set up a dichotomy without saying un- or non-. How about Court vs. Blanks, or Court vs. Provs (short for provincials) or some other term that still means us vs. them without saying specifically not-us?
HEY, your comment came back! :D It’s something I’m going to be thinking over as I write, and it may be one of those things where I do have to let it go eventually, but....well, specifically saying “not us” is kind of the point. That’s an intentional way that the powerful families in Court keep power. If there is only “Court” and various permutations of “Not Court”, which include stuff like “Well kinda Court but not truly” then they have an extremely effective linguistic gatekeepeing system going on.
