Our wings are not tired.

So nice to see so many posts from old friends.

I took a few hours off and went to visit with my MIL, SIL, and family including my 3 month old nephew and his 6 year old brother. Little boy hugs were quite welcome. Then I got home 10 minutes before the SpaceX launch which I was able to watch from the front yard. Night launches are the best as they are easy to track even from a couple hundred miles or whatever it is.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, megan walker.

Happy Birthday sumi!

I meant to lie down for an hour nap before dinner, which turned into a 2.5 hour nap until I was woken up by a wrong number. Thanks, weirdly silent caller! Now to see if I can get Molly to eat the food with her medicine and get Jackson to *not* eat the food with Molly's medicine. (Bless his gluttonous little heart, that's the only difficulty he's given me throughout this damn cat plague upon my house.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I hate the reasons why, but it’s lovely to see everyone. I’m so glad this is a home in which we all feel comfortable, no matter how long we’ve been gone.

Happy birthday, Sumi!

I’m so sorry, megan walker.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

megan, I’m so sorry.

sumi, happy birthday!!

Calli, thanks for the update. I always wonder how amyth is actually doing but I always hesitate to ask her.

Why is it Sunday night? I object. I need more Sunday.

I’m up to Homecoming in my current Buffy rewatch. I forgot that this is the ep where we meet the Mayor!!

The Somerville Buffista-pod would not have been nearly as awesome if DX hadn't been a part of it. He's one of my first associations with this community and was just the smartest, greatest, kindest guy. His love for the WKRP in Cincinnati's flying turkey episode always pops into my head on Thanksgiving. I'm just... so sad right now.

I got to know amyth through smonster, and that love and friendship is beautiful and inspiring and smonster would have to talk me through the backstory of specific fandom in-jokes so she could tell me the funny thing amyth had just texted her. This is all just such fucking awful bullshit and all of 2020 feels like heavy stones are being placed on my chest one by one, squeezing the breath and life and joy out of me.

Nice to see so many people. Hi Raq, happy birthday Sumi. I reached out to Freya. I don't recall her board name to the extent that if it was on Cindy's list, I didn't recognize it.

So sorry for your loss, Megan

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I thought Freya's board name was after her cat, Freya. I could be mistaken?

I am pretty angry about the whole concept of mortality right now.

Megan, I'm sorry.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Still getting used to the new board. It's been ages. It's so nice to be able to use my phone! Thank you, Gud. Windsparrow, yes board name was her cat's name but different from Freya, I'm pretty sure. Just saw Beep Me. I'm sorry for your loss, Megan.
