She needed a miracle to save her mom and her future.[COMPLETE]

Just Pretend- “I can wait for years, heaven knows I’m not getting over you.”

A story about two star-crossed lovers, that always find their way back because their souls are entwined. The universe desperately attempts to bring them together, no matter what the cost.[IN PROGRESS]

Mercy[FALLEN ANGEL AU]-"Blinded by a fear of feeling, these are the kings we chose. Lost and looking for the meaning, I've been searching high and low" It came crashing down on him. This is the story of the highest banished angel from where she came only to find home in the arms of a mortal man. This mortal realizing he'd face Lucifer himself to keep her.

PAGE TWO

What It Cost- The darkness was all Reader ever knew and now that it was following her, closing in to devour her, she needed to chance to breathe. With one destination in mind, she set out only to stop when she noticed an attractive stranger on the side of the road; his own darkness making her give him a ride to where he needed to go. Both of them were desperate for something else but neither of them could change and it nearly cost them everything.

Caged In: Noah feels himself falling deeper into the darkness and only one person can pull him out.

Suzanne is putting on Macbeth;

Shupe flashback; Ryan threatens Shupe about giving testimony to Cyril’s lawyer but Shupe isn’t a credible witness

Peter Schibetta accuses Ryan of killing his father; he goes to see his wife; Schibetta comes to join the play and says some stuff about the Evil Eye; Meehan talks to Ryan about becoming a better person; Meehan dies in the middle of the night

Beecher is now in Unit J for his safety until his parole hearing; Schillinger is released from Solitary and returned to Unit B; Winthrop wants to move up from prag status by killing Beecher’s father; Mr Beecher visits Beecher and then Keller to help with his case; Winthrop kills him as he is leaving

Mayor Loewen arrives at Oz amidst chaos outside and inside; SORT discovers Mr Beecher’s body

Sister: Did his brother die yet? It’s been six months since last season apparently��� Me: You think they’re not going to milk that out?

Sister: What, he can’t hear that screaming?

Sister: Jesus, lady, is no time sacred?!

Sister: He looks like he's been getting facials. Me: W-what? Sister: Chico’s skin looks better this season, and his hair is nicer looking. They both seem younger this season, too. Less greasy overall. Miguel finally can afford sleeves. Ooh, fancy. Cotton~ Impressive.

Sister: Hate makes one bald. Me: Did you say ‘hate makes one bald’? Sister: Yeah, he shouldn’t do that. He’s going to stress and lose all his hair. Just let them be… Don't try and get in their way!!

Sister: She definitely got fired from her last job.

Sister: Back from Jurassic Park…

Sister: Didn’t they already have this conversation last season? …Do you think they’ve been doing this same song and dance every night for the last six months? 'Cause, I mean, surely the Father prays every night… Me: I like to imagine that whenever there are time jumps in this show, they all just stand there in spooky stasis and nothing actually happens.

Sister: (drumming on knees eagerly) Let’s see that wife! I wanna see the wife! Is it Shannon? Me: Girl, Shannon is not in this place. Sister: (booing because there’s no Shannon) (booing because Schibetta’s wife never gets a close up)

Sister: Put him in the play. Handsome Man. Handsome Man #2.

Sister: (snorting deeply) I don’t know what he’s talking about. [Ryan] has the same poopy face with everyone.

Sister: (tutting) No wonder Shannon left him…

Sister: Who shall be his roommate now? Schibetta? Me: (wistful sigh)

Sister: Didn’t that guy used to have hair?

Stray thoughts

I wonder who told Peter about Ryan killing Nino

We rewinded to investigate the color of Meehan’s shitty underwear because Sister could’ve sworn it was red so she thought it was another eating glass story line

We also rewinded to check out Peter’s wife

Sister: The priest storyline and the mayor storyline are very topical… disgraced mayor Eric Adams… the Archdiocese (of Los Angeles) announced they were paying that billion dollar settlement for sexual abuse…

Torres is played by an MMA fighter named Frank Shamrock??

Sister says she’s willing to take on guardian angel duties for Schibetta but she’s still on the fence because she’s “not sure he’s learned his lesson” and she “can’t be representing losers—what will that do to my reputation”?

Final Thoughts

Sister: Cyril’s got a very strong demon voice now… Probably because he’s rooming next to Satan.

Sister: I’m surprised [Howell] hasn’t gotten an STD yet

Sister: I didn’t get to see [Schibetta]’s wife’s face fully, which made me sad. Although she kinda looked more like his mom from what I could see…

Sister: Someone was trying to be crafty with that [scene where all the Solitary inmates say their little piece at the window]. Like Chicago… Did they announce before this season that it would be the last? Me: Oh, huh. I'm pretty sure they knew. Sister: Because I feel like they’re trying to be more cinematic… And they got like a higher budget or something. Like Chico and Miguel both have better clothes. And Chico looks better. Me: So based on this episode, do you have any predictions on where the storylines will go? Sister: I mean, I don’t know it can go where it shouldn’t have gone in the six months that supposedly passed… They didn’t really have anything for Said this episode… He was just doing his spiritual thing… And [Redding] was still grieving six months later, which was juxtaposed with Rebadow and his budding romance this season to carry on his family name, haha. I don’t know, did that librarian seem hostile to you? I feel like it was supposed to be romantic tension, but she kind of seemed like she was planning on killing him. Me: Any thoughts on Kirk and Mukada and the Satan thing? Sister: I’m just surprised that they haven’t found the Reverend yet. And he even mentioned the dude disappearing this episode but there still wasn’t any follow up like “yeah, where did he vanish to?” Also, when they were doing the Solitary voting thing, I feel like someone wasn’t voting very seriously. Like only Sister Pete was a dissenting vote against Schillinger getting out? McManus didn’t vote against him? Me: Any thoughts on the play? Sister: I wanna see what their budget it is. Because they had a really large background and paint is expensive… And they were doing props? Me: Well, they were probably using tempera paint… And those big school tubs are probably like $20. Sister: Yeah, but they have multiple colors… I guess we’ll have to see what other props they get… (gasp) What if the skull is real?! Me: (for the nth time in our viewing conversation) They’re not doing Hamlet!!

Kevin McCarthy's ouster as House speaker is more than a momentary detour into dysfunction for the Republican Party, said David Leonard in The New York Times. It's "the latest sign of its drift toward radicalism." For the first time ever, a party deposed its own speaker mid-term, all because hard-right members were outraged that McCarthy engaged in bipartisan spending negotiations "inherent to democratic governance." The GOP has become the primary "source of chaos" in a nation that feels increasingly "unmoored" -and democracy scholars are alarmed. "In my lifetime, this is the greatest challenge that I've seen coming at us," Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Joseph Ellis said of Republicans' revolutionary fervor.

Throwing the House into turmoil is "a continuation of the MAGA riot Donald Trump incited" on Jan. 6, 2021, said David Rothkopf in The Daily Beast. "The rationale was the same": If the system doesn't deliver what we want, we'll just break it.

Our democracy's "downward spiral" could accelerate, said Will Bunch in The Philadelphia Inquirer, which would delight "a small but influential gaggle" of far-right thought leaders. Supposed intellectuals at Hillsdale College and the Claremont Institute see the spreading rot as proof of the need for a "Red Caesar": an authoritarian who will suspend democracy, root out the liberal "deep state," and "impose order." That a growing number of conservative academics and billionaire donors are embracing an

"explicit plea for dictatorship" is deeply alarming. Especially because "we all know who the actual 'Red Caesar' is-even if he is, technically, orange."

If you think that's hyperbole you're not paying attention, said Doyle McManus in the Los Angeles Times. Trump has laid out a terrifying " authoritarian vision" for a second term. He's promised to prosecute political opponents, send the National Guard into high-crime cities, and "purge the federal civil service of anyone who questions his views." Meanwhile, his rhetoric has grown increasingly violent, said Margaret Sullivan in The Guard-ian. He's called for shooting shoplifters, suggested former Joint Chiefs of Staff chair Gen. Mark Milley should be executed, and exhorted followers to "go after" New York Attorney General Letitia James for filing a fraud case against him. Many shrug off such words as "Trump being Trump." But voters must understand exactly what he'll do if he wins in &

Meet Bianca Kazansky Seresin

I thought I had posted this awhile ago. Maybe I just ended up deleting it but here this is again.

Meet:

Lt Bianca Anastasia Kazansky. She is going to be appearing in Chasing Angels

She is the youngest daughter of Admiral Tom "Iceman" Kazansky and the oldest daughter of Pete "Maverick Mitchell.

She is the apple of Iceman's eye, the first child he was able to raise from the day she was born. And he is so proud of her, bragging to his staff about how she is doing.

And that of Maverick when he is around to be a father to her. There is a lot of unmentioned hurts and pent-up emotion that Bianca holds towards Maverick that really comes through when he is leading the dagger mission that she is a part of.

She has 2 half-sisters, Stacey McManus, and Ellie Mitchell. and has an adopted brother TJ whom Iceman adopts when Bianca is at the academy.

She attends the academy and is in the same class as Jake Seresin (her later husband), Natasha Trace, and Javy Machado.

After attending the academy, she and the others go to flight school where her long time on again off again lover Bradley Bradshaw was also attending.

For a while, she, Bradley, and Jake have a polyamorous relationship that ends after a huge fight and Bianca deciding to stay with Jake over Bradley.

She usually ends up in between their fights whenever they are together after that. But they all ended up together after the Dagger mission

She is stationed with Jake and Javy after she and Jake get married, they couldn't handle being apart for long periods of time, they were all together when they get recalled to Top Gun.

They don't know that Maverick is her other father, she would mention him but never gave him a name or showed pictures like she did with Iceman.

After the dagger mission, she and Maverick form a better relationship, and she is involved in the commitment ceremony between him and Ice.

Bianca goes down behind enemy lines with Payback and Fanboy, and finds out that she is pregnant with her first child after they are rescued. She goes back to her father's house in San Deigo to recover and try to take care of her ailing father who's cancer is back and killing him slowly.

After he passes away Bianca, Jake and Bradley take on raising TJ as it was in Ice's will

What have i done today

i was deeply distracted for hours playing video games, listening to music, etc.

but i managed to get a little itty bitty bit done

voila, my trello board for my steno textbook:

[image description: a trello board. board color is a reddish-pink. title of the list is Lesson 29. 1st card is a dark blue titled Lesson Overview. 2nd card is a pink titled Preparation. 3rd card is half pink and white. On the white half is the text Trello Card Set-up. there is a green checked box below it with 1/1 next to it. the 4th card is all white and titled Evernote Set-up. the checked box below it is not in green and has the text 0/1 next to it. the 5th card is a pastel green with the title Practice. the 6th card is half a pastel green, half white. on the white half are the words Exercise 2901. below that, an icon of 4 lines and a checked box with 0/8 next to it. Below the cards, on the list, is a plus button called Add a card. to the far right, an icon for creating a card from a template.]

i accidentally CTRL+Zed this part of the post like 2 times so far. must be tired lmao the second time it happened, it was like i got jumpscared

anyway, so i literally had to fight my brain to get it to produce this trello board, and 3 others after that. it was hard work, but i am satisfied with what i created

the 3 other boards are for coding, stenography (in general) and Japanese. the coding and Japanese ones are pretty barebones rn but ill have something figured out for them soon. i saw that Trello has a Github integration i could use, which seems helpful

and then after that, i decided that i absolutely need to start practicing to books other than my textbook again.

i found a bunch of books that i thought were interesting. sadly, i couldn't find most of them on Libby for checking out, but i will one day practice to them, maybe!

The Book I Will Write To

i checked out the audiobook for it yay

i even added it to my trello board:

[image description: trello board. list is titled Audiobook Progress. below it, an attached image of the cover for the book The Perishing by Natashia Deón, Author of Grace. the cover is a photo of a Black woman, transparent against a blue-to-green vertical gradient background. her features are outlined by thick, rainbow brush strokes, echoed twice over, a few inches above their starting points. below that, on the list, the words image.png. further below, an icon of a paper clip with the number 1 next to it.]

The Books I Have Placed Holds On

The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna

Son by Lois Lowry

One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus

One of Us is Next by Karen M. McManus

Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen M. McManus

i can technically do 10 holds, but i dont wanna end up overwhelming myself by accident lol

i plan on adding these to my stenography trello board as well. i think i will thoroughly enjoy all of them!

Sister (jabbing at screen): Don’t you dare mess it up for him! I see your eyebrows knitting an evil little sweater….

Sister: (gasp) Is she giving out STDs?! All getting sick? Same symptoms? Damn… what did she give them…

Sister: Why would he say that… “Books for the dead”? Me: He’s feeling the Halloween spirit…

Sister: I’m just looking at all the things that have here that can kill people. This ain’t going to end well.

Sister: You wanna lay down some quotes for us to judge or are we telling not showing…

Sister: Close up! Let’s see how evil this lady looks…

Sister: What, she got family there? She got stock? Murphy: For Chrissakes, Howell, what do you got stock in Kentwell Communications? Howell: No, a brother. Sister: I’m so good at this.

Me: I still think they should’ve make him a communist… Sister: He’s not a communist? What is he, a socialist? Me: He doesn’t have a concrete ideology, really… They never gave him one… Sister: I just assumed he was a communist this whole time, to be honest.

Sister: Crapped his pants.

Sister: Wrong! That’s the problem with people in this place. They’re always telling each other their plans… (also tbh i included that first screencap because i always thought it was cute that Peter was trying not to laugh there)

Stray Thoughts

Hecht and McArthur are mentioned as minimum security prisons

Final thoughts: Sister: So sad about Antonio… forgot his name… Michael? Good thing I didn’t decide to become his guardian angel again. That would’ve been so embarrassing… Very confused about why, um…. Mr. Linguini believed the guy who always lies when he came to sell his wares. Like that guy’s never just coming over to gossip normally, but oh, let’s hear him out? How tiny does your brain have to be to still believe him. He’s like the pied piper, he’s gonna be pying those pipes. Don’t listen to him, little rat… And I’m so disappointed they didn’t do an STD episode and expose that lady so she can finally get fired.
