All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

in light news, I was buying lunch and saw a man in a pink gingham shirt and was tempted to ask him if he was a member of the Pink Gingham Junta

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So I had a very complicated grieving process last year and I channeled my feelings into a piece of flash fiction about how difficult it can be to mourn someone who's really important as a presence in your life and as a part of a community you love but whom you didn't really know personally. I finally sold it, and as a tribute to ita, I'd like to donate my payment to a charity she supported. Wasn't there one about girls who code?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I mean, there's an organization literally called Girls Who Code, but I couldn't say if ita supported it or not.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Maybe hurricane relief in the Caribbean?

I know about that one, and I thought someone here had mentioned donating to it in her name before, but I might be mistaken.

Maybe hurricane relief in the Caribbean?

A possibility. Any recommended organization?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Partners in Health.

Yeah, that or MSF.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

PC: if you're looking for a code org in particular, Black Girls Code ( [link] ) is the one that we sent a bunch of our collective donations to, and I can vouch for them being an amazing and genuinely beneficial org. But I'd also agree that relief in the Caribbean is especially timely.

Ah, that's the one I was thinking of, thanks!

Yeah, I like that Partners in Health can both allow me to donate directly to Haiti relief and mark it as "In memory of..."

Maybe I'll do half and half.
