It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Our wings are not tired.

Also, I am bummed that I never hugged my sister all summer and when this virus is history all my huggy friends are going to be hugged so much and so often.

What is even happening?

Sail is on Facebook. I can reach out to her if no one else has.

She's already posted here. I was replying to her, sj.

Cindy, I think we xposted. Scroll up a bit.

You're too kind, smonster. I think I missed your post even though I was specifically looking for your post.

I remember when I first met Amych, and she asked how I pronounced my handle. Calli is actually an abbreviation of Calligrafiti, the pseud I chose when I wrote my first fanfic.

I remember your full handle from LJ. Did you ever use it here, Calli?

Punishingly Intricate

Btw, my board name is pronounced "lisaaaaaaah."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

That's seriously how I hear it in my head!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hey darlings - I just posted in Beep Me. I think it would be good to maybe coordinate or centralize our gift card giving for amyth, but I also know that I can not commit to handling that and that I tend towards perfectionism. So: is there someone longing to take on some cat herding for a good cause? Or should we just buy all willynilly?

Also I super need to focus on work today because I haven’t been able to all week, so could someone post a version of this in the fb group?

My eternal thanks.

Thank you smonster! Yes, I have been wondering about how best to gift. Is it better to accumulate? I am good with individual or group.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Someone reassure me that I'm not being stupid. Husband and I are driving to visit my parents for Thanksgiving. We have been consistently careful, only going to the grocery, doctor's visits, pharmacy, and to pick up food. When possible, we've done drive-through or curbside pickup. We always wear masks. And I'm clamping down on that even more for the next week or so before we leave.

We'll get rapid-tested before we go and limit our interaction on the drive to getting gas and maybe getting curbside pickup. This is a reasonable amount of risk, right? i.e. almost none?

That is 100% reasonable, Dana.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Totally reasonable, Dana.

I think willy-nilly giving is fine, myself.

Sorry, Cindy. I should not read and post before I’m fully awake.
