I hope Mr. Peabody is well.
Me too. I got to meet him and pet him. He liked me temporarily.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Today, this came up on my Facebook memory feed:
I don't know how to express myself. A lovely friend who has brought such joy and snark to so many is not long for this world. She has been moved into hospice and it will be only a few days. I will think of her rolling her eyes at her dramatic relatives and complaining about crappy internet. Love to a sister of my heart and to all of my other loved ones who are losing her too.
As much as I hate Facebook doing too much, sometimes I appreciate them reminding me of Ginger at a time when I can smile instead of feeling the crushing sense of loss.*
*I misstyped "love" when I first typed this post, and I think that may have been a tiny bit Freudian.

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 was coherent in my response to Ginger's sister. Here I'm gonna say what I really want.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, FB brought the memory again, but recently those memories have been more gratitude that she was a part of my life than the raw pain of a while back. That and the intense anger that Ginger, ita, and so many others have to devote so much of their lives to fighting a healthcare system that is horrible and heartless.

wrod. Although the reason the holidays make me think of ita most is because she said "Kiss my ass," begins with K, too.

Oh friend, such overwhelming thoughts of you this morning. I miss you.

I've been trying to tell myself that it's probably OK they didn't have to see a Trump presidency.

I know you hate the secular Christmas music, but it's all I can bring myself to play and I laugh hearing you say how much you did not like it.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Joan's outfit on Sherlock last night was particularly sharp and I thought how much ita would have loved it.
