I'm so sorry to hear that, Cindy. Should someone post to the Facebook group as well?
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yiiiiikes. I feel like not remembering it rings more like, "I threw myself on top of so many teenagers, who can remember them all!" And let's remember what a 14 year old boy looks like -- a child. It's not like a 16 year old girl, who might look like a grownup.
Also, kind of devastated about Strega, even though I didn't even know her.

WRT Spacey, it would have been a fine response if someone was trying to out him, but I thought it was a pretty shitty response to being accused of being a child predator.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Seth Abramson's ongoing Twitter thread today is FASCINATING: [link] And yet I still can't let myself hope that this is really the beginning of the end for the Trump administration (that's one of Abramson's Tweets -- he says the Papadopoulos plea is THAT big). I just refuse to hope anymore.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'd hit my monthly free article limit on three separate major news sources by Friday. This is very frustrating for me today.
Last night while everyone else was watching baseball I was going, "Holy shit, Anthony!" He's the first person I have a connection with to make such a high profile accusation. Wow. Spacey is totally deflecting by coming out. It's good to see so many not taking the bait. While I believe that Spacey doesn't remember the specific incident, that would seem to imply that other incidents are likely to have happened.
Very sad news about Strega.

What is even happening?
I don't know, sj. While we stayed "Twitter friends," it's been quite a while since we really emailed or anything.
I would think Allyson and Tim Minear would want to know. Other than that I don't know which Buffistas she was friendly with. Maybe when Sars sets up the Donors Choose project would be the time for that? Whatever you think is best.
Also, kind of devastated about Strega, even though I didn't even know her.
Jesse. Catching up here, I see that you've had your own real life loss. I'm so sorry.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
If it is ok with Cindy, I'll post to the closed FB group if no one else has.

Thanks, Cindy.
In other death news, I got an email titled "Rest In Peace, [person's name]," from someone whose last name is Power, and I keep being surprised that my mother's church is using Rest In Power!!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So sad about Strega. I owed her some music too.

msbelle, I think that's fine. Thank you.
