Besides Andre Braugher, a fandom friend's husband is dying at 42, two months after a cancer diagnosis.
God, this fucking year.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Can't just leave without claiming another victim. (Ironically, maybe the perfect talent for expressing this moment.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ugh, I'm sorry, Dana.

Completely shallow whining: The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland is closing on Jan. 22 for major renovations, and probably won't be open until 2025. I had the vague start of plans to go to Disneyland next spring, but since the Mansion is a very large part of why I'd go, that probably won't happen.
I MISS MY SPIRITUAL HOME, DAMMIT.

Now I'm kind of picturing that you're not the only one, and that on some pagan holiday or something a bunch of goths will be clustered around the "Closed for Repairs" signs saying "Next year at the mansion," Freshly boosted...feeling pretty hale. May it be so.

The 20th anniversary of Bats Day at the Fun Park, the unofficial goth day at Disneyland, is in May, and I suspect this news will affect attendance.

I didn't know that happened, but it makes sense.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I finished grading!
Also, I think I have bronchitis.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, Hil. No good. Hydrate like mad. At least you can rest now?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
This sounds amazing: CAR-T therapy forces autoimmune diseases into remission.
Holy crap. We desperately need something. I wonder if they’ll try it on ME/CFS.
I’m sorry, Dana. This fucking year indeed.
Hil, yay and boo in that order.
Laura!! Report back! Did he go? How is he?
I wish my dad would go ahead and decide not to have Xmas this year so I can maybe make other plans. I’ve toyed with the idea of traveling, but I don’t like flying at the holidays. My car needs an expensive repair before I drive it anywhere far. I think I would like to go for a hike or something, which means driving up north at least a couple of hours. But really, I could use a staycation to get my house in order, literally, and the guest room ready to go.
