I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Spike ,'Sleeper'


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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Ginger, if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

The book could be a print on demand. Createspace is the least expensive if you want full color pictures, but wasn't ita boycotting Amazon. Or was that apple? At any rate there are tons of self-publish firms out there.

Compassionately intolerant

I find myself wanting to say something stupid, sexist, racist and wrong just so she'll come back and hand me my ass with Jamaican jerk sauce on it.

This made me gasp with laughter and then tear up again.

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.

part of me believes that some kind of transhumanist magic has happened and now she is living in the site.

If River Tam can be Serenity, then ita can certain sure be the Phoenix Board.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

It was Amazon. A book they deleted from kindles.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's a lovely idea, Allyson, and thank you, Ginger, for making it happen.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Shrift, I have a 3.5" USB drive if that could be of use.

I've been at work since 10am and am waiting in the train to go home now. I'd like to think ita would appreciate the effort I've put into not crying at work.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

DXM!!! I am so happy to see you.

Ginger, you are truly the best. Let me know if you would like help, I have the time and would be so very happy to contribute.

Allyson, you are truly incredible and I know we all love you for bearing this.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Fuck

I don't know how long it's been since I've been here, but John just told me the news. That's absolutely fucking devastating; ita was one of the best people on the internet. One doesn't meet many actual superheros in life.

Hi, all. (X-posted with Natter)

I'm skipping to the end of the thread (but will go back and read every damn word of it. Your posts mean so much) to let you know that I'm awake because it's daytime in Israel, and if anyone wants to talk by email or here or by phone then I am here and please, please, please, reach out. I love you and I don't want you to be alone in this.

Profile addy is good.
