Jeez, Strix!
Strength for your interview tomorrow, Jess.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Strix, I am so, sorry. I can't...that's awful. {{Strix}} {{D}}
If you think about it, it makes sense. ita was one of the people who brought us here and she still has that ability. There's something beautiful about her building community still.
I like this.
So my friend has been looking for media that isn't depressing and I am dealing with grief, so we saw The Babadook.
Which turns out to be a story about grief and depression.
We hugged and laughed about it afterward and we didn't know why it was so funny but it felt good.

Congratulations on the marriage, katefate! And congrats to you as well, Kathy! Strix, I am sorry for your loss. Why does the universe feel the need to lump these things together until you are curled up in fetal position covering your head for fear of the next blow?
My iPad is really not a fan of the board names. I nearly congratulated "late fate" and comforted "Strip." I am impressed I caught the errors, since I am barely three sips into my coffee.
I just accepted a few friend requests on Facebook, and I must confess I have no idea who they were from. But seeing as they were all from people with pink gingham profile pictures, I figured it was safe. In case any of you sent the request simply because I had the same profile pic and have no idea who I am, my name is Heather IRL.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Hi David. I agree, despite the ghastly circumstances it's great to see so many old names. I just read the verb "to Nilly" for the first time this decade and laughed aloud.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Just got the news in an email from Nilly. Hadn't been on pretty much anywhere this week, and almost didn't check email tonight. I hadn't even seen ita's pixels for probably over a year, and still can't stop crying. Damn.
I'll try to catch up on the intervening 800 posts, and will stop back in tomorrow.
Damn. This is just not possible.

Strix, I am so sorry. Keeping you an Dan and your family in my thoughts.

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
Strix, I am so very sorry. Please give my condolences to D and M.
Jess, good luck today! Much keeping it together~ma to you.
It's been really nice to see the pixels of people who we've missed. Thanks for being a bright spot in a very dark period.

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.
Jesse, lots of "keep it together and put your best foot forward"~ma for your interview.
