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.

ita's thread

A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Will check in.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

in light news, I was buying lunch and saw a man in a pink gingham shirt and was tempted to ask him if he was a member of the Pink Gingham Junta

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So I had a very complicated grieving process last year and I channeled my feelings into a piece of flash fiction about how difficult it can be to mourn someone who's really important as a presence in your life and as a part of a community you love but whom you didn't really know personally. I finally sold it, and as a tribute to ita, I'd like to donate my payment to a charity she supported. Wasn't there one about girls who code?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I mean, there's an organization literally called Girls Who Code, but I couldn't say if ita supported it or not.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Maybe hurricane relief in the Caribbean?

I know about that one, and I thought someone here had mentioned donating to it in her name before, but I might be mistaken.

Maybe hurricane relief in the Caribbean?

A possibility. Any recommended organization?
