Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I love the one about the girl who gets eaten by the tigers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Atalanta was my favorite.

MINE TOO! I believe msbelle has looked quizzically at me when I've gone on and on about it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

It's Alright to Cry I think is my fave. Maybe because I've never been an easy crier.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Suburban New Jersey, 1970s, and Ann was practically the only kid I knew whose mom worked.

Suburban NJ 1980s, not many kids I knew had mothers who worked outside the home. Kindergarten was half-day, and most kids were dropped off and picked up by their mothers. (My mom worked some days, but not every day. Three days a week, I went to kindergarten program at the synagogue, and my mom and the moms of three of the other kids alternated days for carpooling and giving us all lunch.)

Because books.

The song about the boy who loved his doll rocks too.

William's Doll! Love that one. I love it all, actually, although the Grandma one kind of freaked me out as a kid because she was so creepy.

And, sadly, a lot of the messages are just as timely today.

Absoutely. FTBYAM and Really Rosie were my all-time favorite albums as a kid. Ah, albums.

Yay! Now I'm listening to It's All Right To Cry!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am back from teaching and from Full Force

with Cult Jam?

Nay. With RAW Power, verily.

This Free To Be Whomever stuff sails merrily over my head. A bigger push when I was young was to get people (esp men) to use birth control. People were too free as it was.

Because books.

Interrupting for Jane Eyre talk:

Did Jane really have amnesia when the St. Johns Riverses took her in? Why am I not remembering this?

And God, St. John is just as sanctimonious as ever, isn't he?
