Home: The Toast

Are you still here? Get out of here! Go on! Get! You can’t stay here! What are you standing there for? Go!

You’ve got to go back where you belong. You’ve got to go. We don’t want you. We’ve never wanted you. So get out! Get out of here! Go to the writer’s room! There is no scholarship! Can’t you see we don’t want you any more?

Oh Mallory, Nicole, Nikki, Marco and everyone who made this place what it has been, writers and commenters all - thank you, so so much, from the bottom of my heart. I'm at my desk trying not to tear up because I've been here from the beginning and seen this grow into the amazing, unique space and community it has become, and it has been a daily joy even when there have been times where I've been more of an observer than a true member of the group. To echo Mallory I have loved you all and I am excited to see where everyone goes next, and I hope we can keep this beautiful community going and growing and changing in new, exciting, unforeseen ways. Go forth and be Too Witches, and may Llorothaag be with all of you.

But can't we stay here? You said you were keeping the site up...
Mallory nooooo! Don't don't don't.

Mallory, I think you are the only editor I haven't had a chance to thank yet. Thank you for everything you've done, for changing how I feel about feminism and Western art and literature. How lucky I am to have had my worldview shifted by a sea witch internet goddess. Love you, thank you, and goodbye*

*Okay okay I'll join Slate Plus just for you
I LOVE YOU. I HAVE SQUATTER'S RIGHTS.

MALLORY.

(Thank you.)
Mallory I have to WORK dammit, I can't have all these feels running rampant.
We are your friendly bed bugs now, you're never getting rid of us
Fare thee well, Melis. You're Prudence now.

(wistful music)
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE.
WE LOVE YOU MALLORY, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU TROLL US. Thank you so much for the toast. So much. So very much. Thank you for making it impossible to reread some of my childhood favorites, thank you for making me snort beer out my nose (ouch) while reading Monks Invent..., thank you for helping me realize that my cat is a teenage dirtbag.

God, I'm going to miss this place.
No YOU go to the writers room! (sob)
MALLORY STOP IT MY HEART CAN TAKE NO MORE
Nah.
WE ARE TRYING OKAY THERE ARE A LOT OF FEELINGS BLOCKING THE DOOR

I was just sitting on the front page, refreshing.
But...but... you said we could stay....
This is the only appropriate Mallory send-off. Anything more would have been unseemly.
SHAVEN'T
WELP THIS IS THE ONE THAT DID IT FOR ME, THANK YOU FOR THE CRYING

"Harriet felt tears start in her eyes. Old Golly put her down sternly. 'None of that. Tears won’t bring me back. Remember that. Tears never bring anything back. Life is a struggle and a good spy gets in there and fights. Remember that. No nonsense.'”

But this is where we belong, you monster! *clings to doorframe*
JESUS CHRIST MALLORY.

*finds a Ballpit of Denial, dives into it*


We love you too, Mallory.
Well, I guess someone saw The World According to Garp.
I'm going to see about a girl.
Also, I love that this is filed under "Advice".

You jerk.
