You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Discussion Threads

A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Herding cats for fun

Oh you guys. Now I am crying again.

At least I am not a little drunk, like I was last night.

I had this wonderful post that referenced what I'd been reading bla bla bla... and then the words went away into the aether instead of the board. So I had to go away and process it all for awhile.

Hugs to you all.

Idea: use the energy to create the book. Make it sharp and funny like the Vampire People one, only with way more pictures. Edit until there is one personal version for her family and another for the world. Then use any resulting $$$ to fund a scholarship in her name. That sounds perfect for an entity living in the computer...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm unsure how to get in touch with Odeck with scholarship info once they set it up. Hec or PolterCow have accounts, yes?

Yes, I'll follow it up with her as well so we'll get the word out.

Compassionately intolerant

My education pompoms and I are ready to donate.

Una is me in this. I love beyond measure the idea of a STEM scholarship...or any other kind, in ita's name.

My friend Liz has a scholarship at UConn.

I'm not against flowers as a memorial, but I'd so much rather that dosh went to smart girls/kids in the name of smart girls/kids.

move out and draw fire

Once it's set up, I'll donate myself and help spread the word on this to fandom and to the Women in Tech community

Same here, although less fandom and more on the women in tech and women of color startups stuff.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Once it's set up, I'll donate myself and help spread the word on this to fandom and to the Women in Tech community.

I'm all in. I have a bunch of awesome tech ladies who I'm pretty sure would love to know about ita (less so fandom contacts anymore, but you do what you can...).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hey, while the legend is building, let's not forget that a comet appeared in the sky to mark her passing. As happens with great people sometimes.

Boxed Set's title jumped out at me after reading the last little bit: hint of denial and dash of retcon...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I can't get the obit below $1590 unless I run it on a week day. How would ita feel about cheaping out on her obituary? It feels disrespectful to not run it on Sunday. Talk me through this?

Also, I need a way higher resolution pic of her. She looks pixelated. She would not approve of looking like an Atari game in the 80s.

Or maybe she would. I'm tempted to try and find her old Stor avatar.

hip deep in pie

Does it matter what day of the week it runs on? I have never heard of having them on Sunday.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't think it matters to us, but if it's important to you or her family, that's okay too. How much is the price difference?
