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.

Pfft, you are the nicest! Of course you'd say that!

[Edit: I've been editing my former post instead of throwing all sorts of pink ponts at your screen, what a sad waste of time.]

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah! And your English is good, Nilly. Foreign- reading but in a way that is pleasant.

Oh, erika! He also was wearing the pants he got as a present from you and your mom on the holiday that just ended! They're just the right length now (last year, I had to fold the bottoms). I need to check if the shirt is still good for him.

The problem is, I never manage to take his picture with these clothes, because he's usually wearing them on shabbat or a holiday, when I don't use a camera. I need to rectify that. And, um, not just because, to my completely objective eyes, he's the most beautiful little boy I've ever seen.

[Edit: which is a very long and strange way of speling "thank you", isn't it?]

Nilly, you are one of many exemplars of what the best of this us is. It's been a privilege to get to see your journey.

Oh, sara! That's what I think of you. Thank you.

(Every year, on Sukkot, I remember how you wrote, many many Natter threads ago, about how you see the sukkot built around where you live.)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Nilly! I love to see you and I love your Buffista coming-out story!

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

Nilly's "Timelies!" are the best!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

reading Nilly's posts always give me such profound joy.
