Karl always knows what to say.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry for your loss, Nilly.
This weekend was not so great. Gary picked up Mr. S Thursday morning. We had Thanksgiving dinner with my MIL, which was fine, although Mr. S barely looked from Gary's phone(the Switch was unavailable) the whole time. Mr. S had a meltdown Friday night, though Gary was able to calm him down. Last night he had a major meltdown and ended up in the ER. He woke us up in the middle of the night because he had barfed. Sigh...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I’m sorry, Nilly.
Today has been pretty low-key. We had the first real snow of the season overnight, so today I did a lot of reading next to my Christmas tree and occasionally glancing through the branches to the white-dusted trees outside.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Nilly, I'm sorry for your loss. May your mother's memory be a blessing.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh Nilly, I'm so sorry. Peace and strength to you and your family.

Condolences to Nilly.
Java, hello! Maybe next time I come to Hartford I can also see you!
I am so tired. I drove all day yesterday. Slept awfully last night (hotel was loud, dog kept being startled, etc). Drove a bunch of hours today and then got to see some old friends in Sacramento, briefly—I wish they were better at keeping up with people! And then drove some more. Tonight’s hotel is much nicer than last nights…except the wifi is not working and my cell signal is quite spotty. Booooo! Tomorrow, more driving. But then no driving for a month.

Our wings are not tired.
Java, hello! Maybe next time I come to Hartford I can also see you!
I’d like that!!
Safe travels the rest of your trip!

Punishingly Intricate
Fuck, ICE picked up one of my nephews former bandmates, who graduated this year, and his sister in MD last week and are holding them in NM, threatening to deport them next week. They picked them up when they reported to an INS office to file some required paperwork. Fucking disgusting. Contacting our senators and governor today to ask them to intervene.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Condolences, Nilly. May her memory be a blessing.
I'm so sorry, lisah. I hope you can get machinery in motion to get them released! So many stories like this, all terrible.

Jesus, lisah, I am so sorry. It's all so fucking wrong.
