News is reporting the McCain has passed. My list of issues with him was long, but he was an actual lifelong public servant and patriot. I miss that.
Police procedure has changed since I was little.

Our wings are not tired.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Hey, folks.
I'm having a kind of rough weekend. I don't need an intervention or anything -- not a danger to myself or anyone else.
I'm just tired, and weepy, and scared. And part of letting go of that bit of "cultural masculinity" is admitting when you're not at 110%, right? Not having to be ok all the time?
I don't need anything from any of you, except that you keep on being my friends on the other side of the glowing box. My lovely friends who have seen me through so much.
So I am going to catch up on the backscroll in Natter, and just surround myself with your comforting voices and words. And like as not, I'll feel better after a few hours, or in the morning, or sometime soon.
But right now, I am not ok, so I am going to seek comfort in the words of my friends.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Love to you, Karl. I'm sorry you're having a rough time of it right now. It is absolutely OK not to be OK for a while.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What msbelle said, Karl.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Lots of stuff is pretty miserable, Karl. It's totally understandable.

Take care, Karl.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We're here, Karl.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Karl, "need" or not, the love is freely flowing around here. (And if you need it, that's totally fine too.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
We are here, Karl. Happy to talk at you, and happy to listen if you want to talk. I'm sorry you're having a rough time. But I'm glad you know it's OK to say you're not OK.
