Has anyone seen/heard from Monty (gc) lately? I realized I haven’t, a friend was talking about Gentleman Jack and I was thinking of her
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.

Swouncing
Poking my head for just a minute (I've just ended a zoom meeting, and the semester starts on zoom tomorrow, so there's stuff to prepare, but I had a minute on the computer with my Oh-I'm-So-Late-With-Them grading breathing down my neck but not literally on my lap), because I feel the need to report that we're fine, as fine as possible under the circumstances.
We've had non-stop alarms during the last twenty-four hours, but we're still in generally better shape regarding that than most other places. We're still hurrying to the local shelter each time, we're still losing sleep (I don't think I've had six hours total in the past two nights combined together), we're all cranky and tired and stressed.
But it could be so so much worse. We're as fine as possible in a reality that still seems like something out of the history books rather than what could be an actual everyday life.
Take care, y'all.

Thank you so much for checking in, Nilly. My words are inadequate in all of this, but I'm keeping you, Shir, and your families and loved ones close in my heart.

Our wings are not tired.
It helps so much to hear from you, Nilly and Shir. You are in our hearts and minds continuously right now.

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

I haven't, here or on other socials. I hope she's ok and just taking a digital break.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I think I saw something on bsky not long ago. Not sure how to find it again, though.

She's off FB, but I see her Dear Wife there periodically.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am suffering the consequences of inadequate documentation -- I have 2 dentist appointments this week, one today and one Wednesday: one is for a crown fitting, and one is for a regular cleaning. I put them on the calendar on the correct days with the times, but not what the appointments are for. So I have an appointment in 40 minutes, and it's going to be like playing the lottery. Crown? Cleaning? Bet now!
