This is me breathing
I just killed what I believe to have been a redback in the bathroom, and am very nearly calm.
That’s how fired up I am about the rhetorical stylings of HR Clinton!
That and it’s 1am, I’m overly caffeinated, and have only about 1500 more words to write tonight. Give or take - I’ve overwritten the historical context per usual (why didn’t I just do history? I have 1000 words about something my prof definitely isn’t interested in).
Barring trip to the hospital from redback bite I haven’t noticed yet, I’m about to pull off another paper I have no business turning in on time. I’m really going to learn this lesson hard one day.

redback? really?

Think so. It looked like the one James killed last month - he said that was a redback. Or a white tip, maybe. It was smallish. I’d go look at pictures, but I’d probably start hyperventilating and weeping.

A redback is a dragon right?

Ah…my immediate reaction was to ask if James had told you it was redback and then realised he no longer lives there and so that was not possible. Not to dampen your courage (you did amazingly to even go into the room) but every spider I have ever known James to kills is either a whitetail or a redback. Maybe he has to convince himself they are deadly before he can bring himself to overcome his strong Buddhist beliefs and kill them?

No public shaming!
I still think it was deadly. It scampered in a way that said, “I will bite you and your flesh will rot away as my poison works its way to your heart.’
It’s also gave me a poisonous look.
