I've been following the amazing journey of a local self taught young photog & activist, Devin Allen.@byDVNLLN on twitter. I wish she could see this. I don't really speak the language of camera, but his stuff...
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Today I am missing ita, because I am convinced she probably had at least one vaguely entertaining and snarky story about Canada's new PM designate.

Oh man. I bet she did.

And I bet we could have convinced her to make a sexy politicians subsite, too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
When you're right, you're right.
Eta I had to come doublecheck my apostrophe usage. This morning I was convinced I'd typed "your" in this post.

And she would have loved this bit of shade:
Hollywood costume parties sound awesome, but some people, Beyonce included, don't have the courtesy to attend a party at Warner Bros. as heroes from the DC universe. I mean, make it studio appropriate, people.

Our wings are not tired.
So the post in Press prompted me to skim through last year's good riddance thread. And there she was. Pain with a side of laughter. There are so many threads with unread posts. I plan to read them when I can knowing there will be these mixed emotions.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Does anyone know if ita's family has set up a scholarship yet? I looked back through the thread but couldn't find any specifics. I'm thinking about my year-end giving plans, and I would really love to make a donation in her name.
