I am so sad about Connie. I loved her no-bullshit ways and self aware fighting the shackles of her Puritan ancestors. I saw a little of my future self in her, in a world where IDGAF what people thought of me. She was a fighter and a realist and the world is a lessened by her passing. She did love that car, though.

I mentioned all you all as a support system and she didn't think I was nutty!
Only Nutty is nutty, and she's pretty rational.

Oh man. We lost Connie? We didn't know for weeks? Life is cruel.
I will totally miss her snark. She was brave and she made me laugh so many times.
RIP, my friend. You will be missed. I will set something on fire in your honor.

Aw, so sorry to hear about Connie passing. I recall that post about her boss that would be over-eager for details about calling in sick, but it seemed like that was only last week, not three weeks ago. Hope she and DH are reunited and enjoying mead together in a feast hall somewhere in Valhalla!

This is probably wrong of me, but I hope her boss feels bad about questioning her using PTO time.
I just keep getting sadder about Connie. She and I were never even really close, but the world is definitely lessened.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm wondering how much the bad air quality last year in Utah contributed to her death.

Yeah, I know she said she had an appointment with a pulmonologist in August or September, and I think her lung capacity was found to be somewhat diminished.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, I'm super unimpressed by what Facebook judges to be information I'd be interested in...

I have my brother marked as "show me his posts first," and even then I don't see all his posts. It's fucking ridiculous.
And also? I checked FB before I got out of bed, like you do, and my phone app showed me Lois's post in the Buffistas group first thing in my feed. But when I checked FB from my computer, it didn't show up in my feed at all. Such a shitty platform.
