But it is both heartbreaking and smile-making to see those things. Thank you, Lee.
Yes. Thank you, Lee.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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.

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

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Everyone who worked on this, the lovely obituary, and the music mix, and taking care of her things. You all have very pretty hair.
