Betsy, I'm going with Emily Dickinson:
The Bustle in a House The Morning after Death Is solemnest of industries Enacted upon Earth.
The Sweeping up the Heart And putting Love away We shall not want to use again Until Eternity.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

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
This is too much loss. It's just all too much.

Nilly, I am wanting to do something. Anything. Motion is easier than not. But I have to work so I have to have some semblance of okay before my students walk in. Thank you for asking.

I can't even.
I just got out a mundane work meeting and saw Hec on FB saying check in. I'm stunned and saddened by the news. I hope everyone is (okay) and has someone they can talk to.

If I only had a brain...
I backread and I haven't seen this mentioned. I don't know if it would be appropriate or not, but has anybody told/does anybody have a way to tell Tim Minear?

The ee cummings poem broke me. I have to go get a worker now, working on the house. I'll call Katie in a bit. Does anyone know how to reach the Peninsula folks - I'm having a memfault. Karl? and Lysana?

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Thank you for emailing me, askye.
I don't have many words to add, just that anyone who needs to talk, or vent, or just flail ... my profile address is good, and Bay Area visits can be arranged on fairly short notice.
This will always be the place that taught me what the best of "invisible friends in the Internet box" could be. No small part of that was due to ita and her combination of technical brilliance and stubborn refusal to be anyone else but who she was.
If a person is to be measured by the love she made possible, encouraged, and gave a place to live, then ita is truly a giant among forces for love in the world. And we will all feel the love she shared with us every time we post.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Does anybody have contact info for Rayne?
I've messaged her on FB to check Beep Me. Couldn't type the right words for anything more.
Can't. Even.

Betsy, do you think I should e-mail him? I tought that surely one of the LAistas - Kristen or Allyson - has let him know, but they probably have so much to deal with right now.
