Oh god, Dana. Best of luck to him.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Dana, what rotten timing.

Dana, that's just a boatload of shit. I'm sorry.
My goal is to strive for happiness in and around me. To feel things. The past three years have probably been some of my best so far. Definitely the most even keel (previous decade NSM, but I was good at fronting through the numb and internal shittiness) and the most true to myself. There have been some crazy highs, but those are ancillary, it's the sum of the normal days that have been good. Doesn't mean it will be without grief and troubles, but that I'll have the resources and core to see me through.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Dana, damn. That is just awful.

What she said. All of it, really.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dana, that is just a clusterfuck for your family. The sort of people who pre-announce a termination don't sound like they're all warm and fuzzy about work/life balance, but I hope they do your husband fairly, and that he's not even on the potential list anyway. Y'all need to move on your schedule, not anyone else's.
Why won't Gina Torres marry me? What did I do wrong? Is it the straight thing? Me? Or her? Shit.

I'm so sorry Dana.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Husband is talking to his parents, and apparently his mother doesn't think he needs to come to the funeral. His family is very different than mine.
But they both agree that the timing would be bad, with the layoffs.

I'm sorry, Dana. I can't imagine why they'd think it was a good idea to tell a department that small that one would be let go. Did they expect the four to arm wrestle for it or something?
