No, java, not in a long time. I emailed her a ways back - months ago - but haven't heard.

Our wings are not tired.

Thanks, Brenda. I try not to worry but I hope she's okay.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

java, I've seen her posts on Shakesville a few times in the last few months, most recently around New Year's. So she seems to be alive and healthy, just, for whatever reason, on a break from b.org. I don't think brenda's the only person who's nudged her, so she must know that she's loved and missed, and that we've left the light on and the key under the mat and she can come back anytime.

Thanks, JZ. It's totally understandable to take the break of whatever length. I was just curious about how she is. Now that you've filled me in, I am content. :)

Thanks, JZ, that eases my mind.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

JZ,

thanks for that. I too have wondered, but have not been as assertive as java and brenda about asking.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! Alas, I spent most of the day at work, as I will be most every day this week. I should have time/opportunity to celebrate this weekend, though.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

So Mayim is all for orthodoxy that makes her wear a bathing dress, but not enough for orthodoxy that makes her not write God in her posts? Am confused!

Happy birthday, Anne!

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

Wait, what? Are you saying she does or doesn't write God? (Because I can think of reasonable explanations for either one. Basically, the "G-d" thing is a tradition, but there's no real religious reason for it. You're not supposed to write the Hebrew name, but there's no real rule against writing it in English.)

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

It seems like it's playing on a sterotype, but in a cute way?

I've never actually seen a stereotype with dialogue written that well. It's a bit of a blend between regular Patois and Rasta Patois, but when the fuck has that ;last come up?
