OK, so slightly less “fuck today,” then. One of my lovely partners has arrived here. Welcome to BoingBoing, sweetie. <3

So what you’re saying is that I should switch my icon to my Glitch character?

No, no it doesn’t. Condolences. Truly.
I kinda squared that mentally as “coping with loss” will be the last lesson my best friend teaches me… time & time again.

Is his name Mario or Luigi, by any chance?

I have just spent today with one branch of the family – racist, small-minded, Trump supporters – and then another – racist, small-minded, Trump supporters. And I had to leave our house guests, one of my oldest friends and his husband, behind at our house to do so.
At least I get to end the evening reading supportive loving posts from strangers on the internet whom I’ve come to value as friends to other strangers on the internet whom I’ve come to value as friends.

Nah, but a fine paisan anyway… Nick Ancona
Can you believe that in this day and age the guy STILL doesn’'t have a web site of his own?!?

My step dad took a turn for the worst this weekend. He’s jaundiced and not really awake anymore. His mom and sister came down today to see him. My mom is distraught. It will probably be this week.

Dammit. I’m so sorry for you and yours. It will be a rough, terrible week (which I’m sure you know already) but internet strangers’ thoughts are with you, if that helps even a smidge.

It does. I just wish my mom didn’t have to go through this.
I also wish I could have gotten my shit together and gotten them into a story corps booth to record their story for posterity. Maybe I’ll take mom to the local one instead.

Do this!
One of the most prized possessions in my family is a series of letters my grandfather wrote to my Mother when she asked him about his childhood in post WWI east end London (Bow Road Represent!)
And I’m so sorry for your Mom and you and your step-Dad, fuck cancer in the eye.
And take care of yourself, I know you have to be strong for your Mom but you don’t need to be strong for everyone or all the time. /internet-hugs

It would make you a lot easier to identify.

Well, alright then …
Unfortunately, the icon version doesn’t show off the full outfit. (I had to recreate this with the Eleven Giants wardrobe interface, since I never saved it from the original Glitch game. (Want a ‘fuck today’ included? Hmm. How about fuck whatever kept Glitch from being able to continue its existence? I spent about an hour this past weekend flipping through screenshots and such from that game. I’m still a bit stunned as to how much I miss it.)
