Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It is comforting to think of Merman Tim out fighting crime, especially in this horrible year. Strix, you're a special kind of superhero, too--good for you.

Consuela, I'm so very sorry.

I'm...sort of braced, terribly afraid of losing anybody else before the damned ball drops. Wouldn't mind so much if it was Turnip and his crew, but no, we seem to be losing staunch representatives of diversity. And we can't afford to lose them, in either a personal or a cultural capacity.

I think it's a slow motion rapture. And God's taste therein is way closer to mine than I would have expected.

If so, Ruth Bader Ginsburg better start blaspheming now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

2016 is the darkest timeline. I can't even with this fucking shithole dumpster fire of a year.

Here's what I'm afraid of: this year feels like the worst possible for celebrity deaths, but I think 2017 will be so much worse for the world.

It's not a great feeling!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

How am I supposed to not hide under my bed with that thought bouncing around my brain?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh man, the idea of Tim out fighting crime is a really excellent one.

While dancing backwards in heels. And being very meticulous and obsessive about his crimefighting.
