I keep trying to put into words what this community means to me, and instead I keep getting this image of a woven quilt, in all of the colors ever, spread out around the world. We're both the quilt itself and sheltered underneath it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Always Anti-fascist!
Calli, taking the good with the bad, in the holiday thread.
Work aside, there are so many fascinating, scary, promising, worrisome, interesting things coming up. The whole election thing has me tired already, but I love the thought that Sanders is becoming such a prominent voice. I'm going to work on a visual perception course over the next month or so, and I can't wait to learn more about that. I'm looking forward to my niece's wedding in the spring, to reading more with fewer headaches now that I'm given in and gotten bifocals, to a new Star Wars movie, to a day trip for shopping and pirogies with my buds, to new books my favorite authors have scheduled over the next few months, and to so much more. But I'm also worried about rising xenophobia in the US, about climate change and (I hope I'm wrong) the unlikeliness of the Paris conference achieving anything, about gun violence, about the odds of my middle aged body developing major problems, and about my friends who are still dealing with cancer. It's a mix. I guess it can't all be fandom and Penzey's spice shop visits with the buds, but I'm hoping the good will outweigh the bad--for me and for all of you.

I will eat ALL OF THE POTATOES. A baked potato and giant salad are a fallback dinner 2-3 times a month. But if I let my potato love run free, I'd eat taters all the time.

Steph and I will have Civil War: Potatoes because I want them all.

Put on the suit, let's go a few rounds.
Zenkitty
Everything special about you came out of a bottle! Or possibly a potato.
Steph L.
Sorry to do this, Tony, but potatoes are my friends.
Zenkitty
I was your friend! SOB We could've shared the potato!

The proper accent for ancient Egyptian immortals is Scottish.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The inimitable erikaj, Nattering:
Yeah, there are times on the internet where I'm like Football or Game of Thrones. They are both bloody, but one has bigger words.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Gud: Someone appears to have driven a car into a theater across the street. And no, it's not a drive-in theater.
Tom: Well, it is now.

Our wings are not tired.
aurelia: One of my cats just raced into the room meowing so insistently that I had to ask, "What is it Rosie, is Timmy in the well?" Her response was to plop down and start giving herself a bath. Sorry, Timmy.

I know, right? But I think he means the rent is too damn high compared with what a mortgage payment would be on a similar house. I THINK. On the other hand, they just came from Vermont, where my understanding is that you can pay your rent in weed or with a killer drum circle, so they might think ANY rent is high.

...Awesome. Also, HILARIOUS.
Steph L.
To be fair, you *might* be able to pay your rent that way in Northside, too. But we own, so the bank wants cold hard cash instead of bong hits.
