Ginger, it looks like there is a purple scarf in Lee's post. I think it would be lovely to wrap around your shoulders or neck when you're receiving a treatment. It could be a hug from her when you might most need one.
Young Simon: So... how'd the Independents cut us off? Young River: They were using dinosaurs.
'Safe'
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.

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm with Ginger. Anything small and not valuable--a pebble, a pencil, anything her eye fell on, that she touched.
Or, not. This is enough, really. This collective missing of her and acknowledging her loss.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
But it is both heartbreaking and smile-making to see those things. Thank you, Lee.
Yes. Thank you, Lee.

So grateful for everything everyone is doing and for sharing it here. The obituary is a lovely tribute.
I think I "liked" something before I realized what the pictures were, Lee. It was just a like, not a request. I love that those little treasures will be... treasured still.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
For me, the thing that would mean most would be a pen or pencil of hers. I only had very casual interaction with ita until the past couple of years, when I started getting back into artwork. I don't feel like I got to know her as well as many of you all did, but I was just starting to get a real taste of it when - poof. Gone.
I cannot tell you all how much I miss the lost opportunities.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
There is so much wonderful amazing hair among you all.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hec, your mix is so good I can't listen to it right now because I'm going to cry and have to TCOB. And that's on shuffle (sorry). In the right order I might shatter entirely.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Catching up on this thread is some hard work.
Between the obit and John Moore's eulogy it feels too real.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Beautiful obituary. Thank you.
