Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I hope Mr. Peabody is doing okay.

Thanks for maintaining the remembrances for us, Laura.

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

Thank you, Laura. I'm not good at such things, and it means a lot to know and remember.

I often wonder about Mr. Peabody, too.

Our wings are not tired.

Today we remember DXMachina on his birthday. I always thought of Ed as a cuddly teddy bear. He was always sweet to me and I miss his presence.

I'll raise a toast to Ed, tell him the Dodgers won, and play some Kinks in his honor.

Excellent choices.

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

Aw, DXM. I think of him whenever I see an Opus image

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I still have the Farscape action figures he sent me after my surgery. They're on the top shelf of the bookshelf staring at me.

On the anniversary of Ita's birth, her sister Moji has invited us to participate in a Zoom gathering. As always, we cherish the memories. Personally, I will pick up a Ting from one of the local Jamaican grocery stops and toast her memory.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

It was a nice online event. Stories were told. Memories were shared. There was laughter, and a few tears.

Always Anti-fascist!

I wish I hadn't missed that, but yesterday turned out to be kind of a terrible day. ETA: I did write something partially about her, though. Wondered if this belongs here or Bitches, but... [link]
