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.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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.

I'm sorry, Vonnie. I don't know what to say or think anymore. Nothing is useful.
I did read the latest Strike book, if you have. Or do you wait for the series? If you want to talk about it, feel free to ping me in Literary or email or any other platform.

I'm so sorry, Vonnie.
