I just reviewed Sloane Crosley's 'Grief is for People'. It's a wondrous ride through grief, what it is, what it's not, and how impossible it is to pin down.
Starting Now, Hazel the Vixen will be saying Goodbye to Emeraldia the Kitty for the Departure. Emeraldia will be Leaving Far Distance from Hazel. After Insulting Hazel for Many Years, I am leaving without Hazel the Vixen. In the Separation of Hazel the Vixen, She will no Longer Insult Emeraldia. We have a Breakup about Hazel...
I just can't understand how these people manage to stay strong.
120 days of death, destruction and sorrow. The emergency workers are the ones seeing and feeling the worse of the conflict.
I can personally relate to this picture. And the horrors have haunted me for decades. But those were nothing compared to what these guys have been witnessing daily.
The marks humans leave are too often scars.

If someone is able to give you immense #happiness today, then it must be obvious that they can one day be able to show you #sorrow beyond recognition. As long as you let outside entities lift you up, you'll have to bear the #pain of being pushed down at some point.

Dame Edna Everage - megastar housewife from Moonee Ponds - was a regular fixture on Australian TV screens as well as the stage for literal decades. Humphries brought gentle satire, biting wit, and on point commentary to a nationwide audience, a groundbreaking presence that paved the way for others over time. While not queer himself, his work has softened access to opportunities for queer performers both in the antipodes and overseas. This was thanks in no small part to her oft-mentioned son Kenny, as her work often referred his wildly successful interior design business as well as life-long "friend".
A supportive, intelligent and incredibly hard working light has gone out in my personal firmament. Thank you for all your hard work Mr Humphries - I guess you are now burning a purple wig and gladioli in your personal fireplace.
