Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

'Serenity'


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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aww, that's really nice.

I ran into some ita nostalgia recently when I was searching the archives for my NAS history.

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

they've hung two lovely plaques - one which reads "The Keller" and then a second one, below it, that calls him a "Sound Supervisor Extraordinaire."

Below that is says "You made our ears sing"

Thanks for sharing that, Nanita and ND

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

This is the worst time of year.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

She should get to see Black Panther. I am so angry about this right now.

I mean, it's a combination of things: the time of the year, the fact that the way the medical establishment ignores and discounts black women's pain is in the news again, and the Dora Milaje featurette that just came out. But I saw the featurette and I was just filled with rage at how unfair it is.

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

So much all of this.

(the fact that it's not just malpractice against black women, but malpractice against FUCKING SERENA)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

She should get to see Black Panther. I am so angry about this right now.

Every time I see a trailer/commercial/featurette, I think that.

All I can hope, frankly, is that maybe now that it's happened to someone as famous and talented and brilliant as her, more people will take it seriously.

Seriously though, rage tears. Gonna have to find one of the fundraisers to take kids to see it and donate to it.

Our wings are not tired

The Code Switch podcast just did an episode that in part deals with the fact that just being a black woman in the United States prematurely ages them at the chromosomal level due to the high amounts of continual stress that comes with being black in this country. It's heartbreaking and it made me think once again about what she dealt with all. the. time.
