It's a weird sympathy ploy self promotion thing...like a teaser for his story more than remembering ita. At least that's how I feel.
And I also feel happy to see people but sorry it's under these circumstances.
We knocked 'em deader!

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.

Always Anti-fascist!
This whole incident, ironically, makes me appreciate ita's abilities, and the fact that sometimes? She kind of smacked me back about sloppy thinking or whatever, but she did it without making me feel small. I know, to this day, that I come from the gut more than ita, but she left a powerful example. I think it's okay that he wrote about her, but right this second I wish he'd keep her name out of his mouth.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I guess you all have more finely tuned bullshit detectors than I do, because that doesn't set off mine.
Nor mine. But everybody's different. Still doesn't change the overall impact.

“Not dead yet!”
Why is it written in second person? Gross.
Same reason he writes everything about his accomplishments in third person. I think he thinks it makes him seem witty or some such bullshit.

I think that's a carry-over from old Facebook. It used to force you to start every post with "[your name] is", and some people would continue the sentence in third person. They got rid of that at least ten years ago, but he kept on phrasing things that way.

I think that was way back in the day, when Facebook was just a thing for college kids, and you had to have a valid .edu email address to join.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I think it's because he's always looking at himself in the mirror of what he (hopes he) looks like to other people

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
No, it persisted for a while. I get memories that pop up that way.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm not more intuitive than anyone else, I'm just quick to judge and can be pretty mean.
