Thank you so much for doing that, Cincinnatistas. I'm sort of glad I didn't catch up here until today. It would have been my mother's 92nd birthday. So, now I have twice as much to celebrate. A little teary, but very happy, too.

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're all fragile. Even the dinosaurs bit it. What can you be in between your beginning and your end, is the question.
Teppy, was it deliberate, that you put this beautiful and truthful and heartbreaking quote right below a picture in which ita looks like such a fierce non—fragile warrior? It looked so appropriate, despite — or because — the seeming contradiction.
Thank you (and flea and Hil, of course).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh good grief. I can't come in here without crying. I try not to come in here but still I do. That candle ceremony was so wonderful. You're all so wonderful.
Sail, many hugs to you. I dreamed of my mom last night. So many things I wish I could talk to her about.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
The lanterns are wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing that.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Of course. Because what she was between her beginning and end was wonderful.

I've been away, but I've seen a lot of the lantern pictures on Facebook. They are truly beautiful and a wonderful tribute.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
In totally frivolous news, words can't even express how very much I want to get ita's reaction to this news. I mean, I want her reactions to every bit of news ever because she should be here, but surely for this bit of news she would have Opinions.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Jason Momoa portrayed pirate Jean LaFite on a recent Drunk History and I kept thinking how much ita would have enjoyed it.
