"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I'd like to use this opportunity to remind to any of you of any faith who would like something from Jerusalem - the Old City, or anywhere else - that it's easy for me to get it and send it overseas, and that I'm happy to do so.

Just remember that I will need some guidance and information as you do have a lot of different kinds of crosses and angels and statutes and etc. (you had to see the look on the face of some store owners when I said "are these *catholic* crosses?" while trying to google the images as fast as I could. Christianity is not my strong suit).

Adding Pastor Bea to the list of people I'm grateful that JZ has in her life.

And David, thank you so much for the updates, and everything you do.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Kate, I have to thank you for popping in here and talking about Our Flag Means Death and how it reignited your fandom love. Because it did the same for Jacqueline, and got her to write for the first time in many years. And that has been a great joy to her, reclaiming her creative self.

I was so thrilled to beta for her and get to help shepherd her wonderful stories into the world. Usually I'm quite content to be a fandom nobody with like 20 followers, but I so wish right now that I had a much wider reach so that I could get lots of people to read her stories and tell her how great they are. She is a truly gifted writer, and I'm so glad that she found her way back to writing last year.

The thing is, even in the just-everyday-mundane most simple of writing, it can't possibly be missed, how evocative her writing is, how full of spirit. She is such a gifted writer, in every form of writing - she creates images and emotions and full experiences even just in her most simple everyday posts. Her creative self is present in every single one of her sentences I've ever been lucky enough to read.

(I'm sorry, I'm not making any sense. I'm trying to not-skim quite a few posts. I'm sorry. And I'm definitely not ignoring all of the rest of you! I'm just sorry)

Always Anti-fascist!

Only right that Jacqueline is where you put more attention, Nilly.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm sorry, I'm not making any sense.

Oh no, Nilly. You are making perfect sense.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Jacqueline is now logged into Buffistas on my laptop, and she has her new glasses.

So she can catch up here a bit.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Natter and glasses. A little slice of old normal.

I wish OFMD had fannishly clicked for me so that I could truly appreciate Jacqueline's brilliance. I shake my fist at my brain!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hi, JZ!! Sending you lots of love.

Plei, same. I watched the whole season and just… felt nothing but mild annoyance. It was very sad.
