I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm still pissed that she won't get to see any more Our Flag Means Death. It's a stupid, small, heartbreaking thing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yes, when I saw news about the next season it made me so sad

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm still pissed that she won't get to see any more Our Flag Means Death. It's a stupid, small, heartbreaking thing.

When I saw the first S2 pictures the other day (last week?), I was so furious that she won't get to see it.

And I just saw a teaser trailer for OFMD S2 on Tumblr. Unfair, universe, really fucking unfair.

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

All the love coming your way, David, to you and Matilda and Emmett and everyone who loves JZ. I'm thinking of you all the time and hoping this final stage is mercifully brief.

It took 10 days for my mom to die once she reached this point. She was peaceful, unresponsive, and in no pain or distress, but her body just wasn't ready yet. It went on for so long and was so tense and sad and strange that when she finally did die and the hospice nurse came out to do whatever official things she had to do, I halfway expected her to turn to me and say, "You're not gonna believe this, but she's still here!" When I said that to her we both laughed, and it felt like I was finally able to let go of all that tension.

I'm still pissed that she won't get to see any more Our Flag Means Death.

Yes, absolutely.

Our wings are not tired.

We are all ready for her to be released. We are in no way ready for her to be gone.

Too many of us know this feeling. It means so much to be able to be with you here since we can't all be there to hold hands. It is impossible to predict how long it will take for her to be ready to leave, but she will when she is ready. The rest of us won't ever be ready for her to leave. Peaceful thoughts and love sent your way.

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

I'm still pissed that she won't get to see any more Our Flag Means Death. It's a stupid, small, heartbreaking thing.

It is a great cosmic injustice. I put it up with ita never seeing Black Panther or Wakanda. With Ed not getting to see the Dodgers win the World Series again, or Ginger missing the Braves championship.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Ahhh, my heart is so full of love and pain. Thank you for letting us be with you and JZ and Emmett and Matilda.

God, the new pop culture thing. I still get so pissed when I can’t talk to amyth about something like Heartstopper, or that ita never saw The Woman King.

Oh, and part of my portion of my mom’s remains will 100% end up in a Bonne Maman jar. She and I shared a love of nice jars and both have a bit of a hoarding problem with them.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

We are all ready for her to be released. We are in no way ready for her to be gone.

Very much this. Love to you all.
