I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

San Leandro; I'm moving in with a pair of very kind old friends while I try to get my feet back under me.

To say the past four years have not been kind is to significantly understate the matter.

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

I'm glad you have a place to land, Karl.

Aw, happy anniversary, Bev!

Have fun, sj! All I know about Mystic is that movie Mystic Pizza, but that still sounds like a good time.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Happy Birthday, sj! My dad lived in Mystic for 20+ years! It's a great town. (Yes, someone mentioned a place I love and summoned me.)

Karl, so sorry to hear it's been so hard. I'm very glad you have people to help you get back on your feet.

Happy Anniversary, Beverly!

Health-ma to Tep and Tim.

Y’all I have to share this somewhere because I am still blushing over it even as I dismiss it. Was with a friend this weekend at pride and we were eyeing the folks around, and I don’t remember what I said but something about not being sure if people would be into me or whatever and she looked at me and said “have you seen you??” And I’m still blushing. Don’t quite believe her but nobody has ever said that to me before (though I think I’ve said it to one friend of mine!)

Our wings are not tired.

Not to make you blush more, but I just saw you recently, and she was speaking truth. Believe it.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Timelies, all!

Dylan and I are on vacation 7/5-7/14 mostly in Napa and Sonoma with Dylan's high school best friend and his wife, who are in the area because their high school senior daughter is doing some kind of summer thing at Berkeley for a couple weeks. We'll be on our own in San Francisco 7/12-7/14 and would love advice on places to visit and eat that are maybe off the beaten path, and we'd also love to meet up for a meal with anyone who'll be around.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Meara, you are absolutely gorgeous. She was speaking truth.

We had lunch at Mystic Pizza today. We’re headed to the aquarium in the morning. ltc cannot wait. She’s so excited. We went to a horror themed bookstore today with only a few minutes to spend there before our dinner reservations. It was amazing, and we plan on returning before we head home. I posted a couple of pics on fb.

There is a flashing green light in my hotel room and someone is on the phone in the hallway. I am the only one who isn’t sleeping because of this.

Oh people in hotel hallways (or slamming their doors) are so annoying. Hope you eventually got some sleep!!

I have a maybe date on Saturday? I don’t know what to wear on a hiking maybe-date! Or what to bring? Aaaaah.

Always Anti-fascist!

Happy belated, Sj. Sorry to have missed a Karl sighting...hate that.(although it's not that we don't speak, I'm just...demanding.) Meara, good luck with your date. This last few days? Kind of miserable.
