Happy Birthday JZ!
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

What is even happening?
Surprisingly, Kennedy's news just makes me feel ragey and defiant. Nobody's going to save us. We've got to save ourselves.
A lot.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
(I am saying this in the public-yet-not-whole-world forum of the Buffistas rather than in private because I suspect there are a number of people here for whom this is relevant, and we have good troll control.)
Jacqueline, I don't tell you this nearly enough, because I don't see you nearly enough, but:
You are one of the loveliest people I have ever met, and it is a positive joy to call you my friend. Thank you. I hope you have the happiest birthday ever.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
::Echoing Karl:: (Thank you, Karl)
Also, (ahem) Dear Jaqueline, Sincerest Felicitations on the Anniversary of Your Natal Day!
Reviving a classic.

You know what was a bigger climb? The Civil Rights movement. It's doable. You can fight with all the government apparatus and justice and social order turned against you.
Eh, I feel like that battle's been ongoing and is being hard fought still. It doesn't feel an awful lot like a Mission Accomplished, with the defiantly unaddressed systemic inequities baked into the ole U. S. of A.
Basically, I am not feeling terribly optimistic about this dumpster fire of a country.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Awwww, thank you so much, everyone! I am in therapy right now, and a big part of it is trying to overcome my instinctive desire to flinch away from kind words or yell, "NO, YOU LIE." So, I'm trying. All y'all are making me teary.
Three years ago I got marriage equality for so many of my friends and family and it was the best present ever. This one SUCKS and I wish to return it. Damn SCOTUS didn't even include a gift receipt, the bastards.
Karl, I am so glad that you're here among us. Caths and stents are truly marvels, aren't they?

Happiest of birthdays, JZ!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday, JZ!
