Boys for Pele by Tori Amos, 1996

indeed! and together, the amount of things they destroy... if i think too hard about it, it brings me to tears, really!

a whole city, frozen and then abandoned, cast aside, to leave every remaining darkner inside to (presumably) turn to stone, surrounded by the frozen corpses of their friends

really, its terrible. youre all lines of code on a screen from my perspective, and i still cant go through with it. the implications alone turn my stomach, in some misplaced form of sympathy

oh, but i ought to tell you how this affects dearest cammercial! after all, thats why i started this tangent in the first place!

you see, the dark world creates weapons for the wielders that enter it. its honestly quite the mystery in the root, one that is shamefully overlooked.

that mystery being, of course, why one of those weapons is a person!

* . . . That is quite troubling to think about, I will admit.

* Though a person should never need to be seen as a weapon.

Star Trek: Stargazer - "Maker"

An alien has Gary Mitchell'd himself via the galactic barrier and is going to give birth to a buncha super babies unless Picard can break a little law and save the day. This is the last book in this series, which I felt kinda dragged on, but good to hear a bit about Picard's early days on the Stargazer (which he captained for longer than any Enterprise).

RATING: 33%

(Where to place: About twenty years before TNG starts.)

Rent control is on the ballot for California voters this November.

I uh, get that tumblr isn't exactly sorted by geography, but this is a huge deal.

It's a huge deal even for people who don't expect to be personally affected by it -- rent control is a protection against the poorest people living in a city being forced out, and that's just bad for everyone. When you have a city where only medium well off to rich people live, you get their service employees coming in from a suburb an hour and a half away (blech) or else you get people stacked three to a room. Or people holding down a job or three while trying to earn enough to get off the street or, well, out of their parents' place or away from the abusive partner they can't afford to break up with. Point is, a lack of housing that people can just keep living in at the same price, means a lot of bad things for society, and we probably aren't going to socialize housing within the next ten years but maybe we can get rent control back.

You’re still ignoring the 3:1 difference in oil money. You have to go to number 8 on that list before you hit a Dem.

There’s a clear difference to anyone who isn’t committed to not seeing it.

so ur saying it would be more effectuve for the oil industry to line the pockets of the party whose voter base is against the very industry at the same rate that they would the party that is 100% in support of them ? does this help make it clearer ? but making it solely presidential candidates rather than ALL RECIPIENTS, i.e. senate, house, and candidates for both ?

characters who dig themselves out of their graves (whether literal or metaphorical) are at the top of the list. nothing beats a character who should have died but didn't and comes back to haunt their own life and the world around them, benevolent or violent it doesn't matter, it's enthralling either way

[Image description: a comic of Mabel from Gravity Falls. She looks sad at first, saying: "Whenever my crushes like me back it feels wrong."

Perking up, she says: "I guess I'm losing feelings! Time to choose a new crush!"

She looks through binoculars, and continues: "Which boy should I have a crush on? I want an epic summer romance!"

In the last panel, she's in front of the aromantic flag. She's staring blankly, saying: "What. What do you mean that's not how crushes work. What is comp-het?" End ID.]

I propose: Mabel is aromantic she just has comphet
