Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh my gosh, so much going on!

Sending good thoughts to Maria and family, to Kat, K and kids, and to ita. ita, feel free to call me if there's anything I can do to help out.

Maria, I'm sorry that good thoughts are all I have. It's such a hard situation.

Many thanks to Ginger for your smart analysis of the situation in Japan. You are amazing.

Because books.

Maria, all kinds of ~ma to your uncle and your dad and all of you.

Get home safely ~ma to your brother, Hayden. That's scary.

I think what's really sobering about Japan is that so much work is still being done in Haiti to get the country back on its feet, and this disaster is magnified hundreds of times. I just keep thinking, where will those people go? How will they live? And then my brain just shuts down.

Adding my thanks for having Ginger here. It's so nice to be able to come in and listen to an expert in the field and who also speaks common sense.

Oh Haiti worries me too. It's in such a terrible state still.

And I'm grateful to you, too, Ginger. S. was railing yesterday about how he could only find conflicting information, and I was able to point him to everything you've shared.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hyperventilating. I just scheduled an on-air radio interview for a roller derby event. Tomorrow at 8:15 am.

It'll be fun! You'll rock it.

At least Japan has financial resources that Haiti doesn't. The world seems much more apocalyptic than it was when I was growing up. Maybe I wasn't paying attention, and certainly Hurricane Camille caused a lot of damage. But it does seem like there have been much bigger disasters in the last ten years than there were in the first twenty (1961 to 1981) that I was growing up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, you guys! Best thoughts for everyone and families.

Here's kind of a funny thing: I was having dinner with my parents last night, and somehow the topic of this guy they know who may or may not be trans came up. My mother said something about not getting what "feeling like a woman" meant. I told her she needed to unpack her cis privilege. Hee.
