Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm in video meetings all day and it's freaking exhausting. Way moreso than in-person meetings. I only do phone calls one-on-one anymore, so I kind of forget what conference calls were like.

I'm sorry, Gris.

All kinds of meetings are exhausting to me. I think I'm more nervous in the face-to-face ones than the zoom or phone type.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Gris, I'm sorry.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Welp, we're back in lockdown here. Hopefully just for the five days. We've had a small outbreak of the UK variant escape quarantine, currently 13 people diagnosed. I imagine local restaurants are going to be very unhappy to miss the Valentine's Day crowd, not to mention Chinese New Year. (We had to cancel a D&D session too, which was a shame.)

Our wings are not tired.

Anyone noticed that their "dealing with other people" muscles are atrophied?

So much.

I'm sorry, billytea, and at the same time I really wish my officials would take it so seriously.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I’ve seen a hawk outside my window for two days in a row! Maybe he’s a long-term resident.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

I posted on FB yesterday.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hawk!
