Thanks also for letting us know about Nilly and family, Shir. You're both very much in my thoughts.
Happy Birthday, Jen!
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.
'Time Bomb'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Happy birthday, Jen!
And thank you, all.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Shir, so sorry, I'm thinking about everyone in the region today--is that why it's so crowded in here, sometimes?(Well, okay, not *everyone*--a few people in charge can fuck right off, forever, but, like, mostly.) Glad the Middle East Buffistas are well. This is why I don't believe that new study that swears most people don't have interior monologues...unless I got extras by mistake. Which might explain a lot, actually. Smonster, hope you are feeling better, but Karl is an excellent person to bounce a crazy thought off of. Even when you have another person to bounce other things, um...maybe I won't go into all that, right now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Stay safe, Shir.

Stay safe, shir. Thanks for the info about Nilly.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Yes, such a relief to hear that you (and Nilly) are safe! Thanks for checking in Shir.
I hope the day is becoming a bit less fraught for you as it goes on, smonster.
I was thrilled to wake up and find my indoors were 8° cooler than what I have the air conditioning set to. (My cats, not so thrilled.) But it made for a great picnic lunch by the lake with my mom.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
smonster, I'm glad you got some sleep. I hope that the Buffista solidarity helps a bit, even after the fact. There are more than a few folks here who care a lot about your happiness and well-being.
Shir, thank you again for bring us word of Nilly and her family. I joked a few months ago about wrapping Buffistas in bubble-wrap, but this is a whole different level. I very much hope you can feel our love and concern for you.
