Thanks, Andi. That was beautiful. I'm so glad you posted it.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thank you, Andi.

I may have to seize the cat.
I had a dream last night/this morning that I logged on here and was in a TV thread, don't know which one, and there was a post from ita. She was expressing her opinion on the latest episode of something, but she opened the post with, "Yes, I can still watch this show. I know I'm not supposed to be able to, but I can." I found the whole thing immensely comforting.

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.
I want to say, 'of course ita can watch stuff, she can see it all now.'

Thrive to spite them
I like to think she can not only watch all the sows but watch shows and movies with her dream casting. Especially someone other than ScarJo playing Black Widow.

Our wings are not tired.
Now if ita could find a way to share those spoilers. Promise not to stomp on them even if spoiler font isn't used.
Thank you, WS, for the post in Sang Sacré. I've not visited there often but was grateful and touched when I did.

WS, the Sang Sancre post was lovely.
Speaking of ita dreams, I had one around midsummer. In one of my usual urban-fantasy-fight-monsters sort of dreams, I was in a fight with something and knocked it out. And then ita strolled out of the shadows and said, "You got lucky, because you don't know how to throw a punch properly." She spent a few minutes teaching me proper form, then sauntered off.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's so perfect.
Lovely post, WindSparrow.

hip deep in pie
That's a great dream, Jilli.
There are a lot little things that make me think of ita lately:
Watching Wimbledon
The 30th anniversary of LiveAid yesterday
Reading a book about women who participated in the Irish War of Independence and one woman was named Ita. It looked so wrong spelled with a capital I.
Seeing a very bow-legged guy. (From her obsession with JA's bowleggedness.)
