Has anyone heard from EpicTangent? I sent her an email two weeks ago, and a text a couple days ago, but haven't heard back at all.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

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

I just checked her Facebook and I don't see any new since then end of July.

Today we celebrate the birth of Trudy Booth! I hope your day is full of shenanigans and joy, and that this year brings you all you hope for and more.

Happy Birthday Trudy!
Hello Buffistas! I've been away from this space but y'all are generally in my thoughts (esp the ones I see on Bluesky, which is easier to keep up with on my phone).
I never go through 9/11 without thinking about how much I appreciate this community and how y'all helped get through that day together.
In other news, work is a lot. I'm hiring and it's difficult because (surprise!) the DogeBoys didn't make it better. It's a lot more work for the candidates without making it easier for the hiring officials. HR keeps cutting qualified candidates for nonsense reasons or no reason at all. The shocking thing is that people DO still want to work for the fed, despite everything.
Today's my day off and I'm spending 3 hours in interviews anyway.
And now I must away because the dog is DESPERATE to go for a walk. Congratulations to Hec and Emmett, and I'm sorry to hear about Bridget.
{{hugs to all]]

I found this place shortly after 9/11 when searching for distraction. Thank you for being there then and now.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
Happy birthday, Trudy. Mom said the thing about hanging in another week again. I didn't say "Yeah, Mom, *that* would have been the part that made this a disaster. Lucky we dodged that bullet." I didn't expect, after this many times, that this would still be the week where I'd still wonder what hanging on till November might have felt like. I thought maybe I could make this so great that that would stop--I guess I think about it less, but I'm not really like "How can I take this back? Look at all I have," either.(Which the CIL people kind of prepared me for, frankly because some people get paralyzed while being self-destructive, so it's easy, if you're inclined, to write that guy an arc about...getting pulled back at the last second that I never had) But I am more aware than ever that being abled is not really magic.

Budget Sugar Smacks: DIdn't know a lot of you for Big 9/11, except what I'd learned from my MWT lurker days--I hadn't really watched Buffy yet then.
