The combined education of the people in her apartment should be enough to power the large hadron collider for a year.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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

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

Herding cats for fun
We had so many conversations about Octavia Butler, and she was the only person I'd met that really dug the hell out of her.
Oh dear. I'd been thinking ita has reminded me of OEB: a brilliant and fierce black woman with head trauma passing far too soon, leaving me bereft of so many words I wanted to read... Of course she'd read those books.
Wish I could bring boxes and help pack. I am sure everyone will so appreciate getting mementos from her estate.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I love the idea of some of ita's more valuable items going toward the charity.

Our wings are not tired.
I keep going over to where WtVPPLtL sits on my shelf, and opening it up to random pages, ita hunting. Sometimes I cry, but mostly I am so grateful that Allyson took the time to document the growth of this place, and its builders.

I was this close to making it through the week without crying at work too.

I only hope, when it's my turn(Hopefully far from now--this isn't foreshadowing, people) I have a quarter of the reach that she did.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh. That's. Yeah. Thank you for linking it.
