Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Post Serial:

I shared JZs love of vintage hats with my very first costume student ever. Like, she was in high school, I was in college and she signed up to be my assistant for the second play I designed. I am now crying because she is going to make sure to wear a hat tomorrow in JZs honor.

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

This incarnation of the board is as old as my middle kid!

Whoa! Or perhaps woah? Anyway, I don’t know why this particular thing seems significant to me right now but it does

On my second after work drink, in theory before heading to a different spot for dinner. We’ll see. But that could explain the whoa-ness.

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

An unexpected beach trip sounds nice.

I’m glad Arthur is going home.

It is our happy place. She likes to swim and I like to bounce in the water and chat, and then go back and read and people watch while she swims. It is “just” a Great Lake beach, not the ocean, but it is so calming.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

There's no "just" about it -- the Great Lakes are no small potatoes! They have currents and waves and riptides! But no salt and no sharks.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I am so missing our family beach trip. I keep telling R stories and realizing they have beaches in them, but not the NC beach. Turkey, Corfu. Beaches when my mom was alive, if not with me. I need beach and book time. I need escape right now.

As mentioned on fb, R and I watched The Matrix tonight for the first time since either of us learned it was a metaphor for the trans experience. It is a really heavy movie through that lens, especially watching it with someone who is just realizing they are trans. So many damn details in there - like, I don’t think Switch or Epoch got pronouns. Just their names.

That’s interesting. Now I want to rewatch.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I haven’t been around the board much in the past few years (although I do occasionally lurk) but coming back and reading all the lovely posts about JZ has been healing. Like coming home to people who have known you for a long time and regardless of how we wander, we can come back and soothe one another during difficult times. Thank you all for this virtual vigil.

Hec, I have no wise words. But you and Matilda have my love and support.
