We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, JZ, much love to you all—especially Papou.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Best wishes to JZ and family for a swift recovery.

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

Oh, JZ.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, no.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hugs, JZ.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Five goddamn days until they get his COVID-19 results, because they're not yet set up for in-house testing and have to send everything to the county DPH (he's not in SF), which is swamped.

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

Trudy, it sounds like y'all are doing about as much as you can. I hope none of your symptoms get worse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, JZ! Poor you, your poor dad, poor everyone.

Yikes, Trudy. Sounds like staying in is all you can do.

sj and everyone else who can, maybe just sit outside alone for 15 minutes? For me at least, a change of scenery helps.

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

TCG is taking ltc outside. I'm going to rest while they're outside because I'm not sleeping very well.

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.

JZ, I'm so sorry.
