Yay, Arthur!

Huh. Smonster, I think your post hit a possible quick edit + autolink bug we might or might not of known about. (I did click edit, but all I did was break your link to a new line, as Natter's body text had been all italics on mobile Chrome.)

Go Team Normal Noisy Baby!

So here I am. I'm not scary; I'm just lurking.

I welcome your unscary hugs at all times, Karl.

I dreamed something this morning about having something to tell DX and being sad that I couldn't.

Ooofdah! Mortality dreams galore.

I have an appointment at Green Street Mortuary in North Beach at 1pm.

They called this morning.

Me: This is David Smay...
JoJo: This is Green Street Mortuary. My name is JoJo. Your wife came into our care last night. Do you want to make an appointment to come in?"
Me: Yes, can I come in around 1pm?
JoJo: 1pm! Good. Bring your wife's driver's license and SSN so I can make the death certificate. Look for JoJo!

So "Looking for JoJo" has now replaced "Waiting for Godot" in my existential pantheon.

Plei, I threw a close link into my post, which seems to have fixed it downstream.

ita taught me that lesson years ago with a very stern talking to!

I was still getting all the italics, all the time on mobile! It was most def. weird, but throwing smonster's link onto a new line fixed it. It's like it hurled when it had to both make italics AND automatically generate a link + [link].

Karl is such a master at hugging that he finally almost made me get why those strangers wanted to touch me all the time when I was younger. (Well, that, and wanting to see if the Crippled Magic could rub off, I suppose.) Much like I hadn't tasted a great tomato till I was about fifteen, getting hugged at an f2f was like "Oh, that's what people like when they do that."

I finally installed an ad-blocker today, because Tumblr decided it would be great to slap some sort of unnerving clown pirate on everyone's dash. Nope, no thank you.

I got rid of the clown with a Firefox add-on. Bless Firefox forever.

I think I only saw the italics before either of you did anything to fix it (and thought to myself, should I do something about that? Say something? It's kind of pretty. Ooh, what's this shiny thing, perhaps a squirrel?) so probably not helpful to know, but were definitely not ending on not!mobile chrome

I am in awe of all the beautiful and coherent sentiments in this thread about JZ's passing. (Though I was also often in awe of her beautiful, spicy brains and words.)

David, Matilda, Sunny, Lisa...reading about their heartbreak and reactions made my heart hurt. I'm so sad we all now live in a JZ-less world, it feels like the darkest timeline.

Then I read about new human Arthur and alien rave salons and Karl hugs and I can take a breath knowing good shit still happens.
