Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

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.

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

Today we remember DXMachina on his birthday.

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

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]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sorry I couldn't make ita's zoom, and have been thinking about her all week, for so many reasons.
