Go, Hec and JZ! Drag that freak-ass church out of SF by their collective balls. You're such good, attentive, protective parents. Matilda is both lucky, and awesome in her own right. Gotta give props to Emmett too, for wisely insisting she stay off social media.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm glad Matilda went to you with the slip, JZ and Hec, even though it sounds like doing so worried her. Doing so anyway is courageous. You're raising a brave kid.

I just saw that, Zen. So sad. I know these things happen when you are 88, but, dammit, still sad.
Oh god I want to be paid in Dogecoin! Very salary. Much wealthy.
I love this so much.

Age 88 is starting to seem too young, to me.

No, seriously, they love that shit. It "proves" to them that they're doing THE LORD's will. Because the original followers of Jesus were persecuted, see, so if modern "Christians" are persecuted, it's the same thing!
I know an excellent big cat sanctuary if they're really committed to the whole early Christian martyr thing.

I met Ms. Le Guin once, at a small literary convention in Sunnyvale. I was able to tell her how her books got me through the period when my folks got divorced. She heard me, and took my hand.
I got so much more than some other people did. But goddammit, this really, really hurts.
