I think I already knew a) Kevin Spacey was gay and b) about the incident with Anthony Rapp. I read Rapp's memoir so maybe it was in there. But I definitely had Kevin Spacey on my mental list of creeps.

Anthony Rapp has talked about it before, but this is the first time that Spacey's name was published. Rapp did an interview a few years ago (with GQ, maybe? Can't remember) where he told the same story, but the magazine published it without Spacey's name -- just "a well-known actor" or something like that. I kind of wonder what made Buzzfeed think that they were legally safe now, when other places wouldn't publish it.

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.

Sending love to all who love Strega, and to, well, all of us.

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

Yay, Amy! Fingers are crossed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Good luck, Amy!

I hate pretty much everything and this with the plan to take most of tomorrow off. Or today. Whatever.

So sorry to hear about Strega.

But I spent the day in a barely-suppressed glee because INDICTMENTS ASSHOLES.

The status is NOT quo.

I am so sorry about Strega. Like a lot of people, I didn't know her, but she was just organically, root-deep, bone-deep part of the board; every post of hers came with a little, "Ah, yes, of course, there she is!" Like a neighbor you don't know that well but see all the time a block or so away, just leaving the corner store or taking their dog for a walk or waiting for the bus. Part of the rhythm and life of the community.

This. Thank you for articulating how I'm also feeling so beautifully, JZ.
