Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My brother is on suicide watch. Thanks for the continued ~ma.

Dad and I are talking about how stupid Trump is. Dad says Trump makes Nixon look like a choir boy.

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

Cash, continued ~ma to you and your family.

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

Timelies all!

Gary got home last night. I'm happy.

Our wings are not tired.

So much ~ma for your family, Cash. I so hope your brother is helped somehow.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, Cash. Absolutely continuing the ~ma.

You know you've achieved something when you shock and dismay an intern who's dissected a medical cadaver recently!

My toe-related trauma got the ER intake nurse to exclaim, "Oh my!" and hustle for a wheelchair when she saw my foot.

I'm with all of you on the political rage. I dialed in to Warren's call with supporters yesterday which was sad, but good. Taking her advice to choose righteous fights, I'll give myself a few days then work on flipping the senate and other downballot races.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Continuing ~ma for your family, Cashmere.

Hopefully the precautions being taken in WA will keep Katie (and meara and amyparker and the other WA-istas and everyone else!) safe.

It's not that I'm not concerned about everyone else! It's just... it's my Katie.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Hey, I get it! Ken is in King County and there are moments when "Drive to Bellevue, conk him onna noggin, stuff him in the back of the Mini along with his adorable smishy kitten and his quilts, haul him home with me" seems like a perfectly rational response to all of this.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

~ma and ~ma and ~ma and ~ma to you and yours, Cash. I am so sorry.

In other news, any kitty~ma would help. Pele almost died this week due to very surprising discovery of liver problems. After two hospitalizations I'm feeding him now via feeding tube and helping his organs to understand how to process food again. He's a poor cat right now.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm so sorry, Cash, and sorry for your little kitty, Shir.

I finally got some solid sleep -- not enough really, but better than I did all week, so I'm not entirely filled with despair this morning.
