ETA: I accidentally italicized
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Sophia! Very nice.

An unexpected beach trip sounds nice.
I’m glad Arthur is going home.

An unexpected beach trip sounds nice.
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
It is “just” a Great Lake beach, not the ocean
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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
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.

Our wings are not tired.
Great to see your pixels, ChiKat. What have you been up to?
And yeah, those death certificates are needed for everything. Charlie didn’t have a complicated life and I still needed like 5 verified versions for closing down certain accounts, etc.
