Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

So I make it a point to look for these little lights, these acts of grace and compassion and kindness. I feel that they're so deeply needed, so I try to actively look for them (oh, and if at all possible, I wish and hope that I can also actually do a tiny bit of that myself, for others). And that's what this Hanukkah is, for me.

Yeah -- I've been thinking a lot about the song "Light One Candle," originally written as a pacifist reaction to the 1982 Lebanon War. [link]

Our wings are not tired.

I'll try and talk him into Urgent Care tomorrow. I don't expect him home from basketball until 10, then he will have to upload the film and stuff. Then up at 5:30 in the morning to do it all again.

Does he not have a pcp he can see?

RIP, Captain Holt. I pretended you were related to me.

I'll try and get the big guy to his PCP today. Wish me luck.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Good luck, Laura!

I did manage to get up and eat last night - bless frozen yakisoba noodle meals. I couldn’t find anything to watch that didn’t poke a tender spot, but then I found Song of the Thin Man and started that. Old movies I’ve never seen may be a go to for now.

The Thin Man series is a good choice. Love me some Asta.

I was surprised and saddened to hear about Braugher. 61 is pretty young. (She says from the far too close age of 57.)

Oh no! RIP Mr. Braugher.

Yeah, that's pretty incredible!

Good luck, Laura! I hope everything is just fine with Brendon's leg and it turns out to be just lingering soreness that's lingering too long.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

This thing where good people die and bad people flourish is getting pretty fucking old. Besides Andre Braugher, a fandom friend's husband is dying at 42, two months after a cancer diagnosis.
