I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

I’m so sorry, Tom.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Love and comfort to you, Tom.

Tom, I am so sorry. My condolences.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

In another post - quick update since things are getting more insane here. I temporarily moved with the cat on Friday to a friend's place with a nice secure room (shelter) while they're abroad to spend the war there. I'm safe.

Hugs to you too, Shir.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Shir, I'm glad to hear you're safe.

That’s good to hear, Shir. I’m sorry shit continues to be insane like that for so long.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

I am safe and sound in San Leandro. This move has easily been the most traumatic of my life, but I am with people who will take good care of me. (Mike just went to Costco and brought back donuts for the household.)

I love you all, and I am keeping up with Natter, but I probably won't be posting much for at least the next month.

In particular:

Tom, the hug I shared with you at JZ's gathering continues to warm my heart and make me smile. I was telling my household here that among this group of really wonderful, loving people, you stand out to me as one of the gentlest, warmest souls I know. I am so sorry for your loss. Please remember that you are so, so loved here.

Shir, getting to share a hug with you was truly wonderful; I am so glad you could come out and see us and feel our love for you. I will continue to hope for compassion and safety for you and those around you.

Glad to hear you're safe Shir, and simultaneously sad that it's necessary for you to be in a place with a shelter to make that so.
