The rose window was definitely spared. I loved this tweet about it.
La rosace du bras nord du transept de la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris est intacte. Le plus beau joyau de la Cathédrale. Ceci est un fucking miracle.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Our wings are not tired.
Ha!
I should be productive and stop poking around the internet.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The pipe organ was spared. It will probably need to be repaired, but since it's a pipe organ, it never NOT needs to be repaired.

Yes, I was listening to the spokesperson for the cathedral just now and he said all 3 rose windows were spared (it was the 19th century windows that blew) and that the organ did not burn but likely had water damage. They seem to still be somewhat worried about the stability and structural integrity of the towers, but I suppose that is to be expected.

You should try Death Wish.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Dana, thank you for that tweet. Made me giggle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm glad to hear that the windows of Notre Dame are all right (I don't know French, but I understood enough of Dana's post to get the basic info). I'm glad that whatever they saved is saved. It does sound like it was an accident ... whenever I hear of something historic being destroyed on purpose, it makes me sick. Accidents, while upsetting aren't quite as bad as if someone had set the fire on purpose.

Hilarious, Jess! I actually drink decaf almost exclusively, but I will keep Death Wish in mind for when I want to see tachyons.
