I just now read they think he's hiding in there. Oh, and his home country is Brazil, not Bolivia.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congrats on the new house, Atropa! I hope the unpacking is not as never ending as it seems.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
My dad died 18 years ago last month, and every so often I'll read a book that some part of my brain still tags as "This would be a perfect Christmas present for Dad!"

“With the power of Nilly and a convent full of nuns…anything is possible!” Love it.
Unlike most of y’all I am freezing cold. It’s 66 outside and I think chillier in my office and my fingers are like ice. Reminding myself I’d rather this than 100 and humid though. Also sitting on my new seat cushion because my butt was hurting and I decided maybe my 16 year old office chair could use some help.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
(Did I mention we moved? We did. Much better house. And it has a natural gas -powered fire pit in the backyard!!)
I did not know that! I'm going to imagine you finally moved into the Addams Family mansion you both deserve.
About to take Matilda to therapy, then swing by the bank to see if I can deposit this big check in JZ's name (we do have a joint account) or if I have to wait until I get the death cert and all that.
Tomorrow Matilda returns to school.
Day after tomorrow I go to Georgia.
I'm trying to fend off family expectations about the funeral because I just can't plan it at the moment, and I don't want it to land on Emmett and Matilda's birthdays.
One thing at a time.

Always Anti-fascist!
Oh, Hec, so wish I could take some of this off your hands. But I couldn't. You'd end up with a forkless celebration of life on the worst day ever because I sent out a resume once that said I was detail-oriented--I do have my moments, I suppose-, but not that time. Because it was misspelled, and I didn't notice for a week. I don't claim that anymore, obviously.

Our wings are not tired
David I'm so sorry to hear that you family expectations are causing more strife.

Amy, yikes! Don't... go to Longwood Gardens, I guess? Eek.
Atropa, congratulations on the move... and the fire pit.
David, wishing you cessation of family being a pain and safe travels. I'm so sorry this visit to your sister has to happen, for all the reasons.
I know I missed a bunch of stuff. I am thinking supportive things when I read.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty much JenP here.
But I do have a bluesky invite code to offer if anyone wants one.
