I'm so sorry to hear that, Glam.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's horrible news, Glam. I'm sorry.

Amazingly, he's doing a bit better today. Vent was doing 100% of his breathing when he was admitted (Sat.) and now it's doing 40%. He was also able to follow commands when they lowered sedation, which is a good sign. He told my aunt if it came to it, he didn't want to be on a vent but she just couldn't make that call. We'll see if it was the right one.
She and her granddaughter tested negative for COVID today. Cousin's family needs to test but don't know their status. It def came through one of them.

What is even happening?
Glam, I'm sorry to hear about your uncle's diagnosis. I'm glad he is improving.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Vibing so hard for your uncle, Glam. Turning down the vent and sedation are definitely cautiously hopeful signs. I'm just so sorry.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
We had our parent teacher conference via Zoom on Friday. ltc is doing great and tries everything. She doesn't throw huge tantrums at school. So, I guess she saves those for at home.

Our wings are not tired.
That's good to hear, sj. Yes, little ones do tend to save the tantrums for parents. Joy.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
So you guys were probably all over this when it actually happened, but I'm always late. Anyway - I just watched a episode of Graham Norton from late 2019 (what can I say, my DVR contains multitudes) and Kesha was the musical guest. She had a half dozen back up dancers of various sizes and types and I got fully weepy when this plus sized guy not only danced, but was often in the front. Like she wasn't just making a showing of hiring diverse types, but actually believing that he was a talented dancer worthy of the front row. Fully weepy. Then they showed a pic of her 2018 Grammy performance of "Praying" (what can I say, I don't watch awards shows) so I watched it on Youtube and I got weepy some more.
So, anyway, I am apparently now a Kesha fan (not that I disliked her before, just kinda didn't have an opinion - now fully fanned out).
