I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hospice came before I got here Friday but mom apparently refused (and said they could come Monday, which ??).
She sounds very independent. Spunky. Reminds me of a certain meara…

Hang in there.

I am so sorry, meara. Strength to you and yours.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I woke up and chose violence to make French toast with blueberry compote. There was a restaurant nearby that used to make a terrific version of this, but they didn’t survive the pandemic. But I had stale bread, blueberries, and a mighty craving.

I hope your mom is more receptive to hospice help tomorrow, meara.

Choosing French Toast is the opposite of violence!

Yeah I was gonna say that sounds pretty darn good!

My poor sister—just wants to get home as quickly as possible so of course there’s been a huge fire that collapsed part of I95 in Philly where she is headed. May be a very slow time for her, with 95 closed traffic will surely be awful

Our wings are not tired.

Yikes, your sister doesn't need that stress. Also, scary fire!!

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

meara, I'm so sorry for you and your mom and the circumstances that keep getting in the way. That fire just sounds like adding insult to injury.

Thinking of you meara, and sending loving vibes to you and yours.

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

Timelies all!

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

Love and strength to you and your family, meara.
