You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oof, -t, I'm sorry.

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.

-t, I'm sorry. That's hard.

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

Thanks everyone. It's a very weird feeling, like getting the Cliff Notes of his life and knowing that the books is gone for good.

If any of that core group actually die from COVID now the conspiracy nuttos will go crazy.

There wasn't much reaction to Herman Cain was there?

You don't actually think that they would care that a black man died? It won't be real until someone that they actually think has value dies. My money was was on Christie, but the devil was busy that day.

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

Yeah, between that and the "herd immunity" "open up" noise starting as soon as the statics showing that black and brown people were being disproportionally affected were released, it's all so right out there in the open, isn't it?

-t, I'm sorry.

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

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, -t.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm so sorry -t.

I'm just back from taking a friend home from the hospital, where she's been for the last three weeks after a drunk/drugged driver jumped the curb and hit her while she was walking her dog to daycare. It was 8 in the morning! So awful. Three surgeries and at least that many pins to put her pelvis back together. But she's walking (with a walker for now) so that's a freaking blessing.

Oh my god, Brenda, your poor friend! That sounds hideous, and I'm sure COVID puts an extra fun spin on it. Yikes.
