This is the most valuable thing I own. It’s a folder of photos of my father, spanning his life from being a baby, an educator, a husband and a father. It’s the only evidence of his life that will exist over time. These are the “documents” you read about people taking from their homes. When you hear someone say they’ve lost everything in a fire, this is much of that everything, if not all of it. Those who say they’ll be okay still have their folders and their albums. Those who are inconsolable have lost them. Just behind the immeasurable loss of life is the loss of the proof of life. I don’t practice prayer but tonight I will say one for everyone who no longer has these items. It’s not about the art and the collectibles. It’s the photos, the letters, the class rings, the eyeglasses and the things we keep to remind us that those we loved were here. May those who have lost so much find some semblance of hope and support from their family and friends. Stay safe, look out for yourself and for one another, and trust that humanity and all it entails, though sometimes hard to see, is alive and well. This is truly devastating.
@rebexxxxa Also, I have never understood why people are so insane about the fact that these folks just wanted to take a fucking cruise. Like, everyone in that movie is so selfish lol
Charlotte: I just don't feel safe with a witch flying around!
Samantha: Honey, if sticking wood between your legs and riding it makes you a witch, then I'm in trouble...
Miranda: Why do men always call women with opinions witches?
Carrie: Big is moving to Munchkinland.
@v8mile This happened with my dad, too. He was the guy that gave my gay friends (and me, a queer kid) a safe space and flew a rainbow flag in rural upstate New York to support me. Now he’s fully on the Trump train and posting homophobic shit.
@spencerforhire For REAL! Also, the diction is like a blend of her own style and the old school Chenoweth recording so I can see why she went that route.
