I had a whole section about civic pride.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If I only had a brain...

My new theory is that the board itself really loves poetry.

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

Tessera. I have no contact information for her at all. And none for Floyd Elliot.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I tried to shut down my computer and ignore my phone but I can't. I want to be here with you all.

On tumblr I reposted the Dr. Who drawing she made for me as my Secret Santa a year ago.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

All the double-posts...I think the board is in mourning along with all of us. The internet knows there's a hole in the world.

I have to get offline. Open plan offices are terrible places to be crying at work. My heart is going out to all of us today.

Thanks, Besty. I agree. I did.

I can't think of poetry yet, other than one poem-in-math, one that ita loved dearly and expressed her love to it on several posts, the Euler equation.

That's all the letters, not even words yet, that I manage to lean on right now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The LAistas are the main ones who would get this, but I have told Graham and Joyce.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And the bittersweetness of reunions, of "I haven't seen you in ages! But... we're here."

Yes. Hey, y'all.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Oh, good, Lee.

Suzi, what's your Tumblr address?

The status is NOT quo.

I'm at work. It's so hard to hide grief from students, but that's what needs to happen. I'm in a plan period right now. Im not getting much planning done, but I'm so touched by everyone who has returned to grieve as a community.

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

I want to get on a plane to LA. To do what, I don't know, but this incredible urge is there to help, even though I don't know what kind of help is needed or wanted. Ridiculous I know.
