I don't even think they stole anything, because there was nothing of value to steal. Everything that was wrecked was hand-made, either by a parishioner or by a crafter commissioned by a parishioner. Things like a pasteboard landscape with five plywood butterflies on it, representing the five families our sanctuary committee spirited out of Nicaragua to safety in Canada (even in the 1980s, the US was not an optimal place for people fleeing political violence). What kind of statement does anyone think they're making destroying something like that?

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

Our wings are not tired.
Apparently Boris Johnson has now been moved to intensive care. Man is a bozo, but I don't wish that on him.

No statement. Just mindless violence. I'm so sorry that your fellow parishioners have to have this on top of everything else.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is truly despicable. How terrible.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Amy!
Ugh...Mr.S has a bad habit of taking things from our(Gary and my) night table drawers, tops of dressers, etc. Worst was when he took the ring drawer from my jewelry box. I found the drawer but not the rings that were in it. Of course, when I ask him where they are, he "doesn't remember". If I had other places to put such things, I would, but I don't.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, that is awful about the vandalism! So sad.
Oh, man, Sheryl, I hope you can find them!

In small but good news: I saw the first butterfly of spring today! And there are enough open/opening blossoms on hand for them, too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Jacqueline and her brothers and her father's girlfriend, Wendy, talked with the doctors today. They advised that Gene be taken off the ventilator. This is consistent with his Advance Directive and the family's wishes.
Jacqueline's headed over to the hospital to be with her father while they take him off the ventilator. She'll be the only family member present with him when he passes.
Keep her in your hearts and thoughts.

David, I'm so glad she's coming home to you and Matilda to love her.

I will ply her with hugs and creature comforts.
