I'm so sorry, Gris. And I hope that your uncle's death isn't weaponized by ignorant anti-vaxxers.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sorry for your loss, Gris. And UGH that anyone could/would try to "make something out of it."
Two funny recent twitter things: A coworker just posted a tweet from Emily Nussbaum, who I still think of as "ours." And re: Joss, someone replied to a Linda Holmes tweet telling her what the Bronze (board) was. I'm pretty sure Miss Alli knew what the Bronze was!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Filed my tax returns - getting Federal and State refunds which is nice. I think I may have made a mistake with my capital loss carryover but I am not going to worry about it today.

That's awful that you have to worry about someone using your loss like that, Gris.

I find Emily Nussbaum confusing: was she a Buffista actually? Or maybe just Buffista-adjacent? Because when ita died someone (I forget who) told her, and her reaction was on the order of, "I don't know that person but I'm sorry for your loss."

Also, thank you everyone!
I'm reacting ok to the shot, other than a little tired and sore. But not unusually so. Everyone says the 2nd shot has a much bigger effect.
ooooh, my bread-maker is nearly done and the house smells of fresh bread, NOM.

EmilyN posted at Table Talk early on but she was already gone, I think, by the time we really coalesced as a community. So it’s not that surprising that she wouldn’t have remembered ita/buffistas 15 years later. That’s my sense of things, anyway. She was gone before I was around.
ION we’re getting a puppy tomorrow and I’m a little overwhelmed. I feel like I’m the only one being realistic about how much work she is going to be. (10 weeks or so, maybe chocolate lab/Newfoundland, mostly black with a white front like our #1 cat, cute, enormous, baby.)

That sounds right.
