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.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

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.

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

OH GODDAMNIT.

Thanks for the poems, deb and Ginger.
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
Totally.

Maria, *I* want to board a plane to LA! It's crazy, but had it not been for the impossibility of being away from a little boy and an infant when their father is sick, I'd be checking flights as I type.

I saw Tim Minear comment on Deb's FB post, so he knows.

I have to hope that Walt Whitman was right:
God, I hope so.
I have to get offline, too. I have work to do, and I haven't eaten, and it feels like everything else should stop for today, but it didn't get the message.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Hey.
I haven't been around for the past four thousand years. And this is a shitty, stupid reason to come back.
It's...I mean, it's a pain in the ass for me to post from "work" (on my phone, in a cab). And, I guess, I always thought to myself "Eh. Buffistas will still be there."
That you all would still be here.
That ita would still be here.
ita and I weren't super-close, but I always admired her. When I was a frequent habitue of the board, I always looked forward to her posting about whatever. It was always funny and razor-sharp-smart.
I admired her ability to hang on, to keep kravving (or however you say it) despite the pain for as long as she did. She was a superhero.
And that's...that's all I got right now. I've missed you guys, and now I'll miss ita forever.
Shit.

I feel so helpless. I have tried and given up on work multiple times. A friend is coming over and we are going to cook a bunch of stuff.
The tears are for ita, for me, for her family, for everyone here, for others I have lost. They just won't stop.
