If purgatory exists, I am certain it resembles an airport.

Hey there, it's been a while.

Does anyone I know still use twitter?

[Elletra @elletra]

I was legit listening to The Mountain Goats - This Year when I saw this. I smirked, and for a moment the universe felt purposeful.

This week has been a shitshow, I've had worse, but I've certainly had better.

[Elletra @elletra]

Thinking of easing back into twitter. It's been a while.

[Elletra @elletra]

Looked at twitter for the first time in a while. Was prompted with this twitter anniversary graphic to share. Subsequently it has also been 13 weeks since my husband passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Today would have been our 19th anniversary. Time is weird.

This thread from @heyjenbartel is so accurate. Ugh, Netflix Bebop left me feeling like the live-action Airbender movie did way back when. Disappointed to say the least.

[Jen Bartel @heyjenbartel]

Honestly I wasn’t going to say anything publicly but now that Netflix Bebop has been canceled, I would just like to point out that the main issue was not Ed, or Vicious, but rather that it recreated a piece of media with defined political statements and removed every. last. one.

@amandapalmer There's an excellent "Ask the Storybots" episode on Netflix that covers that!

[Elletra @elletra]

@amandapalmer She did. You both did. Thank you.

[Elletra @elletra]

I am constantly taken aback by the musical and communicative prowess of @amandapalmer. This duet with @rebfountain is mesmerizingly impressive and undeniably harrowing. 💔

[Amanda Palmer 🎹 @amandapalmer]

i know you want it.

the mashup of "blurred lines" and "rape me" that i created with kiwi indie rock legend @rebfountain is now up.

#Grief does weird stuff to the brain. Like in the moments of loss, logic and comprehension of your surroundings escape you. And if you have the "luxury" of knowing the loss is coming, those preceeding moments are rife with angst and inability to focus.

@post_hummus Thank you 💗 We only had one of the girls tested, but we all have it. Very lucky that symptoms aren't severe, but it's still been a hard week. We think it's the delta variant, since we (the adults) have been fully vaccinated, but you have to get tested at a hospital to confirm.

[Elletra @elletra]

04/15 - I received vaccine dose #1
05/6 - I received vaccine dose #2
07/21 - We take our daughter to ER with 102+ temp, misdiagnosis is an ear infection
07/23 - Visit pediatrician for second opinion, told ear infection didn't exist, tested for covid
07/24 - Results are positive

[Elletra @elletra]

Last night I took an aspirin, because my chest hurt. I then had a coughing fit and blew out some of the capillaries in my affected eye. It's not pretty, but that's the least of my concerns.

[Elletra @elletra]

The reaction I had to the second dose of the vaccine was much worse than how I've felt with covid, but that short lived, less than 24 hours. Actually being infected has left us symptomatic for days.
