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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I feel like not remembering it rings more like, "I threw myself on top of so many teenagers, who can remember them all!"

This. And by combining the non-pology with his coming out, he is strongly implying that sexually assaulting underage boys is just something that naturally happens when adult gay men get drunk, which is NOT OKAY KEVIN.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Ugh, Kevin Spacey. That is not how you handle that. At all.

I'm sorry about Strega.

I'm hoping that Seth Abramson is right, but I am waiting for 45 and his cohorts to somehow slither their way out of any substantial repercussions.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Got roped into that sucky responsibility first thing, then had a status meeting where my coworker twice repeated exactly what I'd said, without acknowledging that I'd said it. I hate everything.

I need the stories of Trump's tantrums to start leaking. You know they're happening.

Oh, and she managed to work in a reference to how she was working SO MUCH overtime, which is her own damn fault, since she takes nine times as long to do anything as it should take.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I need the stories of Trump's tantrums to start leaking. You know they're happening.

He hasn't tweeted since his "NO COLLUSION" Tweet (which was followed pretty quickly by Mueller going "Oh, did I forget to mention George Papadopoulos, who was arrested in July and charged 25 days ago and might have been wearing a wire?"). He is shitting his pants right now. As he should be.
