Oh Aims, that sucks. I'm so sorry. If you send me your address I could send postcards...

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Aims, I'm so sorry. I was that girl too. I wish I could make it better for all of you.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I've been the male version of that kid. My empathy for her sympathy to all three of you.

Oh, Aims. Could I have your mailing address, too, please? Em is such a sweet kid.

Ann, that's a ferret.
All sympathies. I was there, too.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's funny because here was the first place I went to talk about this because I knew that a large part of us went through this and we turned out SO COMPLETELY AWESOME and we found our people and we are loved and amazing and generous and lovely and so often, when unchecked and unsupported, kids who are bullied can go on to such tragic ends and it terrifies me that Joe and I aren't doing the right thing and that Em will feel lost and won't be able to find her own way. I am so glad I have you all.
Thank you. Thank you so much.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Aims, I would love to send a card to Emeline too. Does Em have a least one really good friend who doesn't give a damn about what the other kids think? Because I found that this made all the difference for me.

She does. She has a few in her class and her Girl Scouts.

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.
Em has so many people in her corner. That does make such a huge difference.
