Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
yay homecoming for Arthur!
have missed this fast moving post. y'all are wonderful to read!

Oh, Sophia! Very nice.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Debet, I'm glad Arthur is home now.
David, I'm so glad that you and Matilda have the Sacred Circle.
"Looking for JoJo" has now replaced "Waiting for Godot" in my existential pantheon.
That is a very good title.
