I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I'm sorry, meara.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm so sorry, meara.

I’m so sorry, meara.

There’s no right or wrong way to do this.

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!

My condolences to you and your family, meara.

Thanks y’all. A few hours later, it still feels weird and also unreal. But then my mom passed two years ago and that still feels unreal sometimes (because I hadn’t lived in the same timezone as her in like 20 years so…surely I just haven’t called recently?)

Our wings are not tired.

You were your father's daughter your entire life, this is a couple of days. You'll do the things you need to do and all the decisions you make are the correct ones.

Very true. I'm so sorry, meara.

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

{{{meara}}} It is super weird that the world just keeps happening

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

Condolences, meara. It's always sudden.

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

I'm so sorry, meara.
