I'd have those that made the quarreling the only ones to fight
My poem "Νυχαυγής" has been accepted by Not One of Us. The title means night-shining; it is an epithet of Melinoe, the daughter of Persephone and Hades (and Zeus) invoked in magic and the Orphic mysteries. Autumn and astronomy got in there, too.
Aside from the part where I had to wait more than an hour at the clinic because they were so slammed, my doctor's appointment this afternoon went well. It gave me information I could not have obtained on my own and it was almost nostalgically strange to pass through the river-adjacent regions of Cambridge where I spent so many afternoons exploring before the bar of this plague fell across everything this year looked like it would be. I came home and autoclaved myself.
L'shanah tovah! What a strange year to be turning. Apples and honey and distance, but as many of us as are here, let us keep on being so. A sweet year, a safe and a healthy one. In the book we write with our lives, a year of justice.
[edit 2020-09-18 19:54] Losing Ruth Bader Ginsburg is not what I had in mind. Her memory for a blessing and a rage.

It is so hard to fathom losing RBG when others who I won't name keep on existing just to wreck everything in their paths.

You're a wonderful person. (What did you say?)

< Lists various options >
OTHER: Because of McConnell's disgusting hypocrisy in refusing to confirm Merrick Garland but agreeing to confirm whomever the Orange One nominates. Also, he is a corporate whore.
Tell us more about your donation.
In memoriam et honorem Ruth Baderis Ginsbergi.
How important is it to unseat Mitch McConnell?
< Various Choices >
- Not that important.
[I'd love to see the SOB demoted to Fox News talking head, but demoting him to Senate Minority Leader is more important, to say nothing of the presidency usw. usf.)

About an hour after her death, I think.

Thank you! Overnight acceptances are always especially gratifying, too.

When I told R the news I expressed extreme ill-will and hopes of destruction upon Mitch McConnell, and R said, "That would be very nice."
Yeah.

What's especially upsetting is it feels like there's not time to properly mourn for her, as a person, because of the urgency of what her death means politically-- the next 30+ years of the U.S. judicial landscape are on the line. In some ways, I haven't truly processed the news yet; I'm going to the vigil at the Supreme Court tonight and expect it will really sink in then. Her memory for a blessing and a revolution.
(Congrats on the poem!)

Yes. We were never allowed to mourn for the dead of September 11th, either.

I'm glad you have the vigil. That is well said.
