Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hiya, I don't usually come to Natter, but thought I'd check in given what's going on. I live in the neighborhood - the synagogue is about 8-9 blocks away from my place. University of Pittsburgh sent out an emergency alarm as soon as there was news about the shooting so I've been staying put, chewing on my nails.

It really is a beautiful neighborhood, and the synagogue is in the heart of a very old, vibrant Jewish community in the city. I am heartsick. But the even more terrible thing is that... I am not even that surprised that yet another bigot shot up a place of worship, even if it's in my backyard. This country is so fucking broken.

information libertarian

The current president tweeted something stupid about how if the synagogue had had appropriate defenses this wouldn't have happened, but I am willing to bet money that the synagogue had security, probably off-duty cops, because every synagogue I know well always has security for services for exactly this fucking reason.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Vonnie, I'm so sorry take care.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Thanks, all. The shooter is in custody -- he sustained injuries and was sent to one of the local trauma hospitals. Ugh, can you imagine being assigned to provide medical care to that piece of shit.

I think I'll try to venture out rather than tying myself into knots staying inside.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Ugh people...

Got some errands done. Mr. S got a haircut, Gary did early voting and I got passport photos taken. Really don't like the picture, as the "neutral expression" makes it look like a mug shot.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Vonnie, all love and comfort to you. It's good to see your pixels; I just wish it weren't for such an awful reason.

Laura, I fully support you in stepping away and getting some air.

All of you are very much in my thoughts. I wish I had more and better words to say.

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

Thanks for checking in, Vonnie.

I had planned to Get Stuff Done today but the stabbing pain in my right eye says no to all that.

Our wings are not tired.

Spent some time swimming and reading outside to clear my head.
