Wow!!! I remember when I had 200 followers, it just blew me away and to have 4100, it just blows my mind. Thank You, Thank You. I try very hard to repair damage photos, badly cropped pictures, over exposed and under exposed images. One important point, I never photoshop Bettie’s face or body, except, I have added a foot or hand because of them being cropped out of photograph. But thank you my Bettie Mae Page family for always stopping by and thoughtful comments

Fandom Problem #4100:

I know there's discourse over marketing books with AO3-like trope tags and whether it's bad for dumbing down the market or good for helping people find more books they'd like, and while I understand both sides my main complain is people who advertise a book as containing a certain trope that it then doesn't deliver on. Don't call it "enemies to lovers" if they're only "enemies" for about 5 minutes. It SAYS "soulmates" but there's only like one throwaway line three-quarters of the way through the book that only kinda halfway implies they could be fated lovers that's then never followed up on.

Sure it's already a bit of a problem when it happens with fanfics, but the thing is, if I'm dissatisfied with a fanfic, the only thing I've wasted is my time, but if I bought a book, now it's time AND money wasted.

for your creative juice flow,

Klance but miraculous ladybug? idk if you know that show but like, I'd love to know who you think would be who. Who's the "I have to be so responsible all the time bc people are counting on me but it's leading me to separate my superhero vs civilian personas so much in my head that my sense of self worth is completely fucked" (Ladybug) and who's the "I hate my life and being a superhero is the only time I get to be myself but I'm treated as completely secondary so I routinely sacrifice myself for my partner bc they're the important one anyway, as long as I get to do this sometimes who cares if I have to be the punching bag?" (Chat Noir)

I have seen Miraculous Ladybug! I think i have a couple tagged posts for it? I honestly have not seen a lot of it, none of the more recent stuff. But I did see enough to get a good gist of it.

Keith, being the black paladin, would totally be Ladybug. (Minus the obvious obsessive tendencies over Lance, who unknowingly to Keith, is also Chat Noir) But because I adore Klance, I do think Keith has a crush on Lance.

Keith has a crush on Lance but Lance is y’know, the casanova flirty type who hits on everyone BUT Keith it seems. Though it’s because Lance genuinely has feelings for Keith too but it’s too awkward/real to flirt with someone he actually likes.

They’re friends. Friendly rivals.

I see Lance being the self-sacrificing type— so he’s gotta be Chat Noir. (REMEMBER THAT TIME HE DIED AFTER TAKING A HIT FOR ALLURA?) gdi now i gotta rewatch

Though I don’t think it’s particular because Lance hates his life, I think its more so he doesn’t see himself as important as Ladybug (Keith, unknowingly) and would rather risk himself for the cause.

Perhaps I’ll reply to this post w a shortfic. Maybe if enough people are interested, I’ll write a fic I post on ao3 to get more in depth? (Now that tumblr wants to censor us with fucking CHARACTER LIMITS)

Anyway, I was trying to find out what poetic meter is most used in Latvian, because Latvian (almost) always puts the stress on the first syllable, so for obvious reasons you wouldn't be using iambs, and anyway along the way I discovered the Cabinet of Folksongs, which I thought some of you would think was neat.

(It's trochaic meter, by the way. Sometimes dactylic, but usually trochaic.)

Parando o Loréu, velho parceiro de guerra e meu primeiro e último opala, para uma cirurgia cardíaca e outras de manutenção … tudo isso nos tradicionais métodos DIY / YouTube (@opalanaveia e @garagemdoopala_oficial ) . Cardíaco no que se refere à mudança de motor. Tirar um 6 tradicional, cansado do uso, perdendo compressão e queimando óleo 😅Para colocar um “novo” motor levemente taxado e totalmente revisado. Duração? Vai depender do meu tempo… mas podem ter certeza que compartilharei a evolução, se houver. #facavocemesmo #mecanica #opala #opaleiro #opaleirosdopiaui #4100 #6cilindros https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6dJMjOvJ2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Free pass to talk about the affectionately named "Old Fuck".

Yes yes thank you I love talking about the Old Fuck!

I'm the only person who refers to the locomotive by this name, but New Jersey Transit has a few old locomotives left that actually predate NJT itself - three EMD GP40PH locomotives that were built in 1968 and originally worked on the Central Railroad of New Jersey. In the early 1990s, they were rebuilt as GP40PH-2s. The three survivors are NJT 4100, NJT 4101, and NJT 4109.

NJT 4101 is a heritage unit now, painted in NJDOT livery. NJT 4109 is also a heritage unit, wearing the colors of the CNJ.

NJT 4100 is The Old Fuck.

The oldest locomotive in the entire NJT fleet, the Old Fuck still runs regularly, and I spend a fair deal of my time keeping an eye out for her because I want to get her earmarked for preservation if they ever decide to pull her. She works just fine, and as of now there don't seem to be any plans to retire her. I've spent most of my adult lifetime commuting into NYC and around New Jersey, and many times I've been pulled by the Old Fuck. Usually I spot her on the Bergen Line or Main Line these days or hanging around in the yard at the end of the line.

Sometimes I'll go a while without seeing her. Recently, I went without a sighting for over a year, and I was getting nervous. But then in April 2023 she popped up in the yard near the engine shed. I wonder if she's having work done or being prepped with new heritage colors.

My most recent Old Fuck sighting was in June 2023.

Here she is by the engine shed with some younger locomotives.

I've gotten pretty good at getting my camera lens to peer right through holes in the fence to get shots without trespassing. Note the discarded Wawa coffee cup in the bottom left of the photo to remind you this was taken in New Jersey.

I couldn't tell from this angle if she was coupled to the locomotive in front of her or not, so I had to move to the left...

One more wide shot from that angle first, though.

Further inspection shows they were coupled together! For what purpose, however, is unknown.

A shot more focused on her and her cab.

And lastly, a shot from the back.

Normally, I'm not too keen on diesel locomotives post-1960. Their designs feel uninspired to me, and they're more or less used because they're cheaper to operate and easier to maintain than steam or even electric even though both outperform them (steam locomotives can pull significantly heavier loads - it takes multiple diesels to match one steam locomotive's strength - and electric locomotives can outspeed them and the GG1, the best American electric of all time, was also stronger). But I have a huge soft spot for the Old Fuck. She's been here for so long now doing a wonderful job, and she's such a comforting, familiar sight. I know she won't run forever, but I think she needs to be earmarked for preservation when she's retired.

In the article I linked above, there's a short video on her. Here it is:

Many happy returns, Old Fuck.

Turning green fields into fancy homes that locals can’t afford. Where’s the common good in that?

Jack talks to Pollard about Sadie and the councilman asking his help to learn more. Pollard has words with Sadie about the compulsory purchase order and, in the end, sees a benefit for himself. It’s here that Robert tries to encourage Jack just to give in but don’t bet on it. Scott’s barbecue has an extremely low turnout (unfortunately, if this was for Robert, he would have had same or fewer coming 😔).
