In honour of my late friend, may krasnov and his goons and enablers

rot in hell, experiencing every minute of the pain and sufferiing and chaos and terror they have inflicted on all of us.

A very dear friend died Saturday night. We had been through so much together, were there for each other. Daily texts, frequent calls about the shit show we are experiencing. I had been very worried about her all last week, recurring pneumonia, rapid weight loss, etc. Our last texts were about her anger and fear at the horror show. .and then. . . silence. And then the news from her son. I am so fucking angry that her last days and minutes were poisoned by the insanity we are living, that she feared for her children and grandchildren. For this, as for so much else, I can never forgive them. My one small hope is that at least maybe she was not aware of the horrors on Saturday.

Requiescat in pace, dear friend.

May all involved receive everything they deserve.

environmentalist, animal lover, amazing wife and mother, incredible friend. So many times this week I have reached for my phone to text her something, only to have to remind myself.

wasting space. My best friend (male) died in 2013; I still have "I have to tell Darrel" moments. There are some people who are the only ones we can have certain conversations with. She certainly sounds amazing.

We will always miss yet one more conversation.

She may have left this mortal coil, but she walks with us as we carry in in the resistance.

You were there for her. I want to say we needed her, but I guess we're not in charge of that.

Requiescat indeed.
