That made me cry too, ita. Thanks!
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

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

Oh, geez, ita. Yeah crying. (relatedly, this week is the 2 yr anniversary of Bob getting his tumor removed and this morning he got another all clear report from his oncologist and he doesn't need to go back for 6 whole months!!)

Consuela, if you have a chance, the Thyssen-Bornemizsa (sp?) is only a couple blocks IIRC from the Prado--and is pretty awesome, if you're less into Madonna-and-Child and more into anything modernish (past 150 years?)

Wow, this is a fascinating "Black men in hoodies" thread: [link]
Some amazing "tone argument" and derailing going on. I don't know if I have the strength to read it all, but some of the sensible comments are really rather sensible.
I am extra, uber creeped out by the discussion, because for a large segment of Supernatural fandom, the hoodie is a sign of woobieness. You say "hoodie" to a Dean!girl, and she's thinking of this.
It makes me sick, the flip side, the people arguing that all black guys have to do is stop wearing hoodies and then people will stop killing them. You know how guns don't kill people? Wearing hoodies doesn't kill people either.

What is wrong with people that you even have to say that?

This is the other reason I want to cry today. Reading people apparently sincerely saying "Well, if the homeless didn't dress like they were homeless, people would treat them better."
Oh, okay. You've solved the whole thing. Thought of a solution no one else was bright enough to think of before.
It really makes me feel sick.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Holy shit, ita !, that's some truly jawdropping un-self-awareness.
Organizer: Trayvon Martin was "read" as a thug because he was a young black man in a hoodie. We need to change this misperception.
Clueless Person: But, eek! The person in that picture *does* look like a thug in a hoodie!
Organizer: That person is *me*. That's the point, that not everyone wearing a hoodie is a thug.
Clueless Person: No, of course you're not personally a thug, but you must realize that when you wear a hoodie, you certainly do look like one. Don't you know that?
Organizer: ...
Just, holy shit.
Apropos of that discussion, this is possibly one of the most bitterly funny comments I've seen on the whole hideous tragedy (heavy, heavy emphasis on bitterly).
