During the past week, I’ve discovered something pretty amazing completely by accident. I’ve always known that my mental health improves and I’m generally happier if I spend more time out in nature, but multiple things have kept me home for the past few years much more than I would like.

But then I read a post on here about how we’re meant for living in forests and being under trees, and that really hit me with a yearning to be outside more. So I started just sitting outside in my backyard and reading. We have a couple trees in our yard, and a drainage ditch where pine trees and bamboo grow between our yard and the yards of the next street over, so there’s a lot of green out there. I’d never really spend much time in the yard because (a) it’s just a reminder of how much yard work there is to do and how bad I am at doing it, and (b) the water in the drainage ditch means there are a lot of mosquitos and no-see-ums around, and I am like catnip to them. I get eaten up within minutes of being out there.

But recently, with my stress and anxiety amped up, and thinking about that post about being meant to be outside under trees, I decided that it would be better to be covered with mosquito bites and have good mental health and be a little less stressed, than to keep feeling like this and remain bite-free. So the past week I’ve been spending pretty much whatever free time I have on the back porch just reading books, looking up every once in a while at the wind in the leaves and the sunlight filtering through them. And I am really quite shocked at how much of a difference it’s made. How much less stress I have after being outside, even if only in my backyard. Even how much less stress I wake up with. And how quickly the overall level of stress and anxiety has lessened. Not to say it’s completely gone yet; and yeah, I’ve been pretty much covered with bites ever since. But it’s been worth it. While I miss walking in the maritime forests or by the salt marshes or on the beaches, it’s been such a relief to find that just being outside of my house can have a similar effect.

The Introverted Twin

Summary - Being John B’s bookish twin isn’t easy. Especially with my best friend, Pope, being weird about me getting closer with JJ.

Catch up here: Ch 1, Ch 2, Ch 3, Ch 4, Ch 5, Ch 6

——

Chapter 7

“Morning, Sunshine,” JJ says as he wraps his arms around me from behind. I lean back and turn my face to kiss him on the cheek.

“Morning, J. Coffee?” I feel him nod as he nuzzles into the crook of my neck and pull another mug out of the cabinet.

“Where’s John B?”

“Went to drop off Sarah. Should be back soon, why?” I pour coffee into his mug and top mine off.

“Because I don’t want him walking in while I do this.” JJ spins me around, presses me into the counter, and kisses me passionately.

“Holy shit!” We both jump back at exclamation and turn to find Kie standing in the kitchen entry. “What the hell is going on?”

“Hey Kie… umm, ahh, shit.” I search for the right words and look to JJ for help.

“Kie, we’re together,” JJ says simply as he wraps his arm around my shoulder and tugs me to his side.

“Since when?!” Kie’s shock is evident.

“It just happened. Like 2 days ago.” I tell her as I look at my feet waiting for her respond.

“JJ, can you give us a minute?”

“Uhh, sure. I have to get to work anyway.” He tentatively steps away from me but reaches out to gently lift my face up so he can try to figure out where my head is right now. “I’ll see you later, Sunshine?” I can only nod at him and he looks concerned as he walks backwards out of the kitchen.

“You want to fill me in?” Kie asks when the porch door closes. I walk out of the kitchen to sit on the living room couch, knowing that she will follow me.

“When you went to see Pope, JB and JJ dragged me out to the marsh,” I start slowly. “JB got the text from you about what happened between me and Pope and blurted it out before he got your second text telling him not to tell JJ.”

“Damnit! I knew I should have sent that one first. But what does that have to do with you and JJ? And why didn’t Pope want him to know?”

“I’m guessing Pope gave you an overview of what happened between us, right?” When Kie nods, I launch into the full story. “Before Pope told me how he felt, he asked me what was going on between me and JJ. I have always had a thing for JJ, but I never thought he felt that way about me. Recently, JJ has been different with me, but I had no idea what that meant. So, I told Pope nothing was going on, which was true, but I don’t know if he believed me. When JB told JJ that Pope didn’t want him to know, they both wanted to know why. We headed back to shore and JJ stopped me to ask me. I told him what Pope asked me and he was weird about it. I ran. Fast. Totally blew off John B when he tried to talk to me about it. I took the van and ended up at Sarah’s house –”

“Wait, what? You talked to Sarah?”

“Well yea, I mean I didn’t even realize I was going there until I was walking up her sidewalk.” Kie looks at me skeptically and I can tell she’s hurt that I didn’t talk to her about all of this. “Anyways, I explained the situation with Pope, told her how I feel about JJ, and she suggested I talk to JJ. So I did. Turns out he feels the same way about me.”

“Why didn’t you talk to me first instead of Sarah?!This is going to kill Pope. And I can’t imagine John B is happy about this.”

“John B, JJ, and I talked it out. He’s fine. And I tried to talk to Pope yesterday, but he had to make deliveries. As for Sarah, I think I talked to her because she was the person who would be the most objective.” I finish with a shrug and look down at my fidgeting hands waiting for Kie to respond.

“The most objective or the least likely to tell you that you were being cruel and selfish?” My head jerks up to look at Kie, shocked at the venom in her words. “Seriously, Y/N, how could you do this?! What if Pope walked in on you and JJ this morning instead of me? He would never get over that!”

“Kie, I’m in love with JJ. I know that this will hurt Pope but…” The pain in my voice is evident and tears run down my cheeks. Kie stands up and walks out of the house before I can find the words to make her understand.

I curl into myself and breakdown in sobs. I don’t know how long I’m in that position before my brother walks into the house. He crouches down in front of my face and gently brushes my hair out of my eyes.

“Hey, what happened? Did JJ do something?” I sniffle as I shake my head. I pull myself together and sit up.

“Kie walked in on me and JJ kissing in the kitchen.”

“Oh shit, what did she say?” My brother sits next to me and wraps his arm tightly around my shoulder. I lean into him, continuing to cry softly.

“That I’m being cruel and selfish.”

“Y/N, that is not true. You give so much to all of us, you deserve to be happy, even if people aren’t onboard.”

“I’m already planned on telling Pope today. But Kie’s right, he would have been so hurt if he walked in instead of her.”

“Do you want me to come with you to find him?” I shake my head again and wipe my tears from my face. I stand up from the couch and shake out my arms to calm myself down.

“I need to do this on my own. Do you mind if I take the van today?” In response, John B tosses the keys to me and tells me good luck. I take a deep breath and head out to find my best friend, hoping he’ll understand.

----

“Hey, Pope.” I say tentatively as I approach the picnic table at our spot. I’ve spent the past hour searching everywhere for him. I never expected he’d be here after our last conversation at this table, but I couldn’t think of anywhere else to look.

“I was amping myself up to come see you. Been giving myself a pep talk for the last 45 minutes.” Pope looks awkwardly down at his hands on the table as I sit across from him. I’ve been so focused on finding him that I didn’t really plan out what I wanted to say. After a few minutes, Pope breaks the silence. “So, are you going to tell me what was so important yesterday?”

“Right… ok… I, uhh, I… shit. I didn’t tell you the truth last time we were here. About JJ.” Pope looks up at me, eyebrows knitted in confusion. “You asked me what was going on with me and JJ and I told you nothing. I wasn’t lying but I should have been more open with you. I’ve had feelings for JJ for a long time.”

Pope closes his eyes and takes a few steadying breaths. I know this is painful for him to hear but it’s just going to get worse, so I decide to rip off the band-aid and spit it all out.

“Lately, it has felt like something shifted between us, but I didn’t tell you that because I didn’t know if it was true or if it was just wishful thinking. So, I told you nothing was going on. I was wrong. It turns out… he, uhh… he feels the same about me. And… we’re… we’re together now.”

“You’re together?”

“Yes.” I stare into Pope’s eyes, trying to understand what he’s thinking.

“Like macking or in a relationship?” I can’t help my involuntary eye roll. I expect this from my brother, but Pope knows me well enough to know that I would never just have a physical relationship with someone.

“In a relationship.”

“With JJ? JJ Maybank?” Pope is incredulous and getting agitated.

“Yes. Pope, I’m so –” He cuts me off by banging his hands on the table.

“Stop. I don’t… I can’t… fuck, Y/N! How could you be this stupid?!”

“What?” I try to keep my anger tamped down because I know how much this hurts him. But it’s taking everything in me to stay calm.

“In all the time you’ve known JJ, how many relationships has he been in? Huh? None! Why do you think you’ll be any different?! He fucks girls and moves on!” And there goes my self-control. I stand up to put some distance between us before I start yelling back at him.

“Pope! That’s not fair!” Pope stands up and walks over to position himself in front of me.

“You want to lecture me about not fair?! This is fucking bullshit! I know you, Y/N. I am in love with you! But you chose JJ?!” Pope’s eyes blaze with emotion as he grabs my shoulders roughly.

“Look, Pope, I know this isn’t what you want to hear and I’m sorry I don’t feel the same way about you but this has nothing to do with you! You are my best friend, but that doesn’t mean you get to dictate who I date or who I love!”

“You love JJ?” Pope’s previous fury is replaced with pain as his voice breaks. His hands fall from my shoulders and his eyes fill with tears.

“Yes… and he loves me…” Pope turns his back and runs his hands over his face.

“I can’t… I can’t be around you two. If you’re going to be with him, we can’t be friends anymore.”

“Pope… you don’t mean that.” I place my hand on his shoulder, trying to get him to turn back towards me.

“I do. I could have handled you being with someone else eventually. But not right away and not with JJ. You know he’s going to break your heart, right?” I flinch away from him, his words carrying the impact equal to a smack across the face.

“No, he won’t.” My words are laced with conviction, finally causing Pope to turn back to face me.

“Yes, he will. And I won’t sit around and watch it happen.”

“Pope, please don’t make me choose…”

He pulls me into a fierce hug and kisses my temple. “Let me know what you decide, Y/N.”

I’m dumbfounded as I sit back down at the picnic table. I know I hurt Pope and I knew this wouldn’t be easy for him, but I never thought he would give me an ultimatum. As he pulls out of parking spot, I finally feel the tears stream down my cheeks.

----

“He said what?!” Sarah asks incredulously after I tell her and John B about my conversation with Pope later that evening.

“I know, right?! I mean, what is it with the men in my life trying to tell me who I can date?!” Sarah laughs and nudges my brother in the stomach.

“Hey! I backed off! I didn’t tell her I wouldn’t be her brother if she dated JJ!” John B exclaims in his own defense.

JJ walks in the Chateau and plops down on the couch next to me. He pulls me back against him as he relaxes into the couch. Sarah waggles her eyebrows at me while my brother covers his eyes. I kick out at his leg and roll my eyes at him once he moves his hand.

“How did it go with Kie this morning, Sunshine?”

“Terrible, but not as bad as it went with Pope.”

“Shit, was he mad?”

“You could say that…” JB and Sarah take that as their cue to give us some privacy, my twin reaching over to squeeze my knee before following Sarah outside.

“Fuck, that bad huh?” JJ laughs nervously, waiting for me to fill him in on what happened with my two closest friends.

“Kie called me cruel and selfish and Pope told me that I had to choose between my friendship with him and us.” I didn’t have it in me to relive all the pain from earlier today, so I stick with the highlights.

“You have to choose between your best friend since middle school or me?” JJ’s voice is low as he sits up to look at my face.

“Apparently,” I respond with a sigh. I study JJ’s face, trying to understand what he’s thinking right now. I see an idea form, but he turns his head before I can understand what he’s planning.

“You told me yesterday morning that you wouldn’t let me lose my best friend. I won’t let you lose yours either.” JJ stands up and starts pacing in front of the couch.

“JJ, it didn’t seem like Pope was really open to discussing this right now.”

“That’s not what I meant, Sunshine. I think… I think we need to stop…”

“JJ! No!” He finally stops pacing and looks at me.

“Since we got together, you had huge fights with your brother, Kie, and Pope. I know JB is cool now but I’m not worth losing your friends. I can’t put you through that.”

“You aren’t putting me through anything! We’re together, that’s a good thing. Kie and Pope may not like it but –”

“No buts. This was a mistake.” My eyes brim with tears as his words sink in. He gives me one last look as he opens the door and I barely recognize his ocean blue eyes now. Instead of vibrant and warm, they are devoid of emotion and as cold as ice. “Good bye, Y/N.”

Where Did My Plowshares Go?

Holy Saturday

by Gary Simpson

Scriptures:

Psalm 31:1-4 The Message

I run to you, GOD; I run for dear life. Don’t let me down! Take me seriously this time! Get down on my level and listen, and please—no procrastination! Your granite cave a hiding place, your high cliff nest a place of safety.

3-5 You’re my cave to hide in, my cliff to climb. Be my safe leader, be my true mountain guide. Free me from hidden traps; I want to hide in you. I’ve put my life in your hands. You won’t drop me, you’ll never let me down.

John 19:38-42 The Message

After all this, Joseph of Arimathea (he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, because he was intimidated by the Jews) petitioned Pilate to take the body of Jesus. Pilate gave permission. So Joseph came and took the body.

39-42 Nicodemus, who had first come to Jesus at night, came now in broad daylight carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. They took Jesus’ body and, following the Jewish burial custom, wrapped it in linen with the spices. There was a garden near the place he was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been placed. So, because it was Sabbath preparation for the Jews and the tomb was convenient, they placed Jesus in it.

1 Peter 4:1 and 6 (ESV)

Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

6 For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.

Reflection:

Holy Saturday is the link between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Today is a vigil pause between the cross and the resurrection.(1) Holy Saturday is that "in between time." (2) As much as we may wish that we could ignore the fact that we are caught in-between, we cannot ignore the in-between periods of our lives. We are not given the privilege of skipping Holy Saturday in our lives.(3) Our province and our country are stuck in Holy Saturday. The Coronavirus pandemic struck. Many businesses closed temporarily, some to never open again. At times early in the pandemic, things felt unnatural – just way too quiet. And the price of oil plummeted. We are still waiting for the normal to return. Spiritually, we caught in a holding zone. The crucifixion is passed, but the full glory of the resurrection is not here yet.(4) Holy Saturday 2021, for some of us, feels like over a year of Holy Saturdays. The Coronavirus lockdown is a brutally long, anxious, and vulnerable time.

Even children have Holy Saturday moments. When I was a kid, there were times when my punishment was to sit quietly on a kitchen chair. No talking was allowed. I could sit in the chair, okay, but no talking was rough. The three to five minutes timeouts felt like an eternity. I think my silent timeouts might have been more challenging for my mother than they were for me because I just could not keep quiet.

Canada is still sitting on the kitchen chair - over a year later. McDougall United Church is sitting on the chair for a second Easter. The Holy Saturday moments in life feel like they are an eternity long. During the pandemic, the Holy Saturday moments for children are especially challenging. Many children had to take courses online and were cut off from their friends and classmates for weeks, even months. Children learning at home have to try to navigate a dual relationship with their parents, where their parents might be functioning both in both a teacher's role and in a parent's role. And a special place dedicated to learning, school, no longer exists. Learning takes place in the home, the same place where children live and play. As with my time-out moments, the shift to learning at home can be difficult for parents too. Being plunged into a quasi-teaching role with almost no time to shift gears is difficult.

Jesus is gone – dead and buried. The disciples lost their teacher and friend, Jesus' family lost a son and a brother. The region of Palestine lost a dynamic itinerant rabbi. Jesus was executed for being a potential source of discontent against the government and the religious leadership, which were closely related. Jesus' disciples and family were deep in shock, possibly dealing with anger and fear. They may feel very vulnerable. What if someone falsely accuses them, just like they falsely accused Jesus? When you are hiding, hoping nobody is thinking of you or coming for you, time is painfully slow. Some people are experiencing are feeling afraid and vulnerable with our COVID Holy Saturday.

Hans Steiner, of Stanford University indicates that the social isolation caused by the pandemic Conflicts with our need to "social interventions" that help us "resolve anger" when we believe that we are "at the mercy of injustice and uncertainty." (5) Tensions seem to be high during the pandemic. There are many possible reasons – uncertainty, danger, children's education bouncing between school and home, work bouncing back and forth between office and home, job uncertainty, business closures, and extreme incidents of injustice. We are experiencing loss of loved ones, loss of lifestyle, loss of routines, loss of dreams, and financial loss. David Rosemarie, assistant professor in the Harvard Medical School's Department of Psychiatry, says he is seeing an increase in levels of anger in his practice.(6) There are times when anxiety and depression can look like anger.(7) David Rosemarie believes the anger over masks is related to fear over civil rights being taken away. He believes that fear is due to fear of the virus. Rosemarie observes, "When we're aggressive, we don't have to show our vulnerability to other people." (8)

You might be thinking, "Are there any scientific studies about COVID restrictions contributing to anger. In the United Kingdom, a study was conducted of over 2,200 participants aged 16–75 years. The study, published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, found that 56% of the participants reported "having had arguments, feeling angry or fallen out with others because of COVID- 19." The researchers concluded that COVID-19 restrictions cause "considerable strain." (9) If you are feeling anxious and angry, and you think COVID restrictions might be impacting your behavior, you are not alone.

There are many explanations as to what 1 Peter Chapter 4 means. I am not going to discuss the complex range of opinions. There might not be a highly definitive meaning for 1 Peter Chapter 4.(10) A few commentators consider the passage to be a mysterious encounter Jesus had with the dead, after Jesus' death.(11) 1 Peter Chapter 4 can be seen as a symbolic representation of the depth of God's love and grace. Holy Saturday could be the time when Jesus brought the Gospel of saving grace to all of the dead from the preceding ages. Verses 5-6 could refer to the Gospel going to "all the dead." The epistle of 1 Peter seems to be about Christ descending to the "place of the dead" to preach to the dead.(12) I tend to believe that descending into the depth of hell symbolizes the fact that there is no mistake, no sin that God cannot forgive, that nobody is left out of the realm of God's grace. The key takeaway is that God is just. Judgment is fair, because even those who died before Jesus' ministry on the cross hear the good news.(13)

Jonathan Turtle, an Anglican priest, describes Jesus as descending into the grave and "taking Adam and Eve by the hand," and leading them out of the grave, "pulling them up out of the grave." Rowan Williams, when he was the Archbishop of Canterbury, observes that this was not the youthful Adam and Eve.(14) Like Rowan Williams, I invite you to picture the old Adam and Eve. I am going to give you a moment to picture Adam and Eve. I see them as frail, with thin gray hair, arthritic hands, stooped shoulders, and eyes grown dim with age. I can almost picture them weighed down with a lifetime of guilt and shame. Then, I can visualize a change, as the fear of meeting God, and as a lifetime of guilt and shame, melts away in the presence of the Christ.

Middle Church tweeted, "Too many Christians act as if the Bible asks us to beat plowshares into swords." (15) Sadly, it is not just Christians who act like the Bible says we should beat our plowshares into swords. At a time fear is causing some tense, anxious, and fearful people to beat their emotional plowshares into swords, and they are living out an angry, grace challenged form of religion.

Prayer:

Companion God, in our Holy Saturday season, we give you our offering – the broken dreams, uncertainty, sense of oppression, anger, anxiety, fear, and depression. These things are too much for us. Beat the swords of those emotions into plowshares and use the plowshares to help plant a garden of healing. Amen.

A blanket peat bog on Kinder Scout, Derbyshire. Credit: Martyn Williams / Alamy

I’ve always had a soft spot for bogs. Some of the happiest days of my childhood were spent exploring the Gower Peninsula’s mires and marshes. They gave me my first intimations of the fittedness, the supreme specialisation and intricate inter-relationships of ecosystems — their denizens the sundews and orchids were my earliest lessons in the marvels of adaptation. Their sphagnum substrate was no less of a wonder.

‘Blanket bog’ this habitat is called, although its wobble put me more in mind of the waterbed owned by a friend’s racy parents. On a visit to the Swansea Museum, I learnt that, yes, the moss was not merely a covering, but the landscape’s very body; that, down the ages, the same strands of sphagnum had grown at one end and decayed at the other to form a deep seam of peat.

We speak reverently of ‘ancient woodlands’, meaning that the trees date from 1600 or earlier, but bogs are millennia in the making. Unlike trees, they don’t proclaim their growth and age. On the surface, they appear to be time stood still. The peat beneath, however, is the chronicle of aeons.

Imagine, then, my disquiet a few years later, in the 1970s, as peat was mass-marketed by the cut-price jumbo bale as the mainstay, purported panacea and mindless addiction of almost every facet of commercial and domestic horticulture.

ok whenever i read ‘shark puppy’ in my head it always reminds me of ‘SHARK BAIT OOH HA HA’ from finding nemo but idk why and i’m not saying richie shouts ‘SHARK PUP OOH HA HA’ randomly during concerts or whatever but that’s exactly what i’m saying

jkfjkhs i showed this to @benverlesbians and she was like, “richie warms up the audience by doing a bruce impression and yelling "shark pup ooh ha ha" 400%” which is absolutely correct. it’s always fun to see like, who opens a set at a shark puppy show, because they all set the tone so differently. richie comes out with the bruce impression (often the set opens with something they’re all Quite Involved In, and richie sneaks on stage before he’s meant to just to warm the crowd up that way, and one time he drags eddie out with him, bc eddie’s arm is broken (again) and he’s like, “let’s hear it for my boy EDS! smashed his wrist smashing the patriarchy but still here to smash the keytar for you lucky fucks!” and eddie is blushing but the crowd goes absolutely fucking wild with cheering), but stan like.... depending on the song, he often hypes them up with like... absolute stillness, and then. the lights slowly coming up, and the music starting (either the bass sounds or birdsong or the wind instruments loop, depending on the song) and building building building—until he’s centre stage with a spotlight and starts to sing right as the sound has reached its highest point and then it’s his voice singing out and the crowd goes feral.

one time they’re having technical difficulties, and like. richie’s the crowd-pleaser, the trashmouth with a deep-seated need to have the attention on him but in a way he can frame (they’re all more well-adjusted in this world, but like. that fear of being Perceived didn’t come from the clowncident) and protect himself with, so you’d think maybe he’d take the mic, or maybe stan, with his absolute dry wit and absolute willingness to march to the beat of his own drum, or even bev, with her brazen attitude that comes out on stage, that sheer sense of belonging and ownership with the band, because they’re hers, they’re hers, and it’s a hard-won feeling, even if the fans don’t know it—-

but instead, it’s eddie. richie gives him the mic, and eddie’s like, what, and richie's just like, do your thing, eds, and eddie’s like, what, and bill just calls out from where he and ben are frowning at one of the amps, entertain them! and eddie looks at richie, like, like.... like he’s looking for help, or an answer, like he always does, because eddie’s the one who thinks things through (richie is smarter than him, eddie knows, but eddie also knows richie is built of dreams and ambition and a magnetic spark so bright he thinks he could die from it, charm and charisma and a knack for saying the exact right thing eddie needs to hear, even though he’s always had a reputation for saying the exact wrong thing, and eddie thinks sometimes richie might not just want him around, but like, actually needs him, because he balances him, and eddie has a complicated relationship with the idea of being needed, but it doesn’t come with any strings from richie, just laughter and actual care abt what eddie thinks, and eddie thinks maybe it’s okay to be needed, when the only things they need from you are things you’ve always wanted to give) but richie’s the one who always comes up with the plan, resourceful to his bones.... but richie just, like, winks at him, and shouts out ‘coming marsh!’ in response to bev’s cuss-filled demand for his assistance, and eddie’s just. shoved in the spotlight, holding a mic, staring at a huge fucking crowd, and he kind of wants to die.

instead, though, he talks about cars. because he knows cars, he loves cars, and it’s just... easy. and then he starts talking about how mike’s the only one he actually would advise anyone gets into a car with, except for himself, obviously, and then he starts talking about all the losers, and how bill just doesn’t know road rules and like, sometimes eddie catches him about to indicate by shoving his hand out the window like you’d indicate on a bike, and yeah, you all thought ‘silver (beating the devil)’ was a joke, huh, well, joke’s on you guys, and then he starts talking about the Great Nipple Instcident, and then he’s back on the patriarchy, and by now, the rest of the losers have gotten everything sussed with the tech guys, but eddie’s on a roll and the crowd is eating it up and it’s just... so fucking nice to see him get to talk like this, be like this, just lose himself in something he cares about, and he’s got this happy flush to his cheeks and his eyes are bright and he’s so animated and one of the roadies takes a polaroid of richie looking at him with like, the most fondly amused expression on his face, which stan pockets in a mix of best friend rights and also to gently tease richie with later

[earthstory]

"My heart ceased beating, and the chill of death crept over my limbs, as with eyes starting from their sockets I stared at that awful head, reflected in the pool. For hours it seemed to me I gazed fascinated, as the bird by the eye of the snake that has charmed it. I was as incapable of thought as movement, till suddenly forgotten school-room learning began to cross my brain, and I knew that I looked at the reflection of Medusa, the Gorgon, fairest and foulest of living things, the unclean creature, half woman, half eagle, slain by the hero Perseus, and one glimpse of whose tortured face turned the luckless beholder into stone with the horror of it." ― Gertrude Bacon, The Gentlewomen of Evil: An Anthology of Rare Supernatural Stories from the Pens of Victorian Ladies

Perhaps similar thoughts also permeated the minds of the animals that met their demise in Tanzania’s Lake Natron. This highly alkaline lake first gained its notoriety when photographer Nick Brandt captured these phantasmal images of living animals that had seemingly been turned to stone just by touching the caustic waters of the lake — a headline that is more myth than fact.

Brandt had indeed found petrified figures of animals at Lake Natron, but not in the lifelike forms as depicted in his eerie series of photos published in his book 'Across the Ravaged Land'. After he had found the calcified corpses of animals washed up along the lake’s shores, he turned their remains into an art form by positioning them in lifelike formations — “Reanimated, alive again in death,” as he wrote in his book.

Lake Natron’s waters have a pH as high as 10.5, which is so corrosive that the paint of Brandt’s Kodak film boxes were weathered off just seconds after coming into contact with the lake waters. The lake is also extremely saline with a high soda content, which come from erosion of land minerals and influx of salty spring water beneath the lake. Lake Natron sits within the eastern branch of the East African rift, one of the world’s most tectonically active zones where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. The active rifting is a source of intense volcanism within the region, which accounts for the saline-rich spring waters that seep out beneath rift lakes such as Lake Natron.

Despite Lake Natron’s morbid countenance, its alkaline waters is home to a prosperous ecosystem of salt marshes, wetlands, flamingoes, various species of birds and fish, and algae. In fact, Lake Natron is a major breeding ground for flamingoes thanks to the saline waters that keep many predators at bay. Ephemeral islands form during dry seasons, which the flamingoes use as nests for their young.

Animals that meet their demise in the caustic waters are calcified by the high concentrations of soda (coincidentally used as an ingredient for mummification in ancient Egypt) and prolonging their bodies beyond death and decay. Perhaps Lake Natron should instead be renowned for its preservation qualities — a reminder that even the most unwelcoming environments is still home to many forms of life.

[Not Pictured:  One framed personalized piece of art by Lili done in watercolor and pastels that resembles a profile drawing of Joe with a fun watercolor haze of a background.   ]

Dear Joe,

Hi. It’s me. The one who talks in novels and I’m pretty sure that you shouldn’t expect anything less out of me when it comes to what should be a simple birthday message. I mean, how much can you write to someone who you known in all actuality for a month and even still, it feels like I’ve only really started to know you in the last week or so. Truth be told, I really didn’t think you liked me much at first. I’m probably the worst the worst at over analyzing things and when it comes to people I really do want to be liked. As much as I would love to say that people not liking me doesn’t bother me, it does sometimes.  – I digress though since this isn’t about me and I don’t think you think that I’m just some annoying, blonde girl from that CW show who blathers on end anymore.  Maybe I’m just that girl who talks way too much. If that is what you actually think, please don’t tell me. It would break my heart.  Either way, Happy 28th Birthday.

I set some pretty high expectations for your birthday gifts though and one thing that you’ll learn about me is that I always keep the promises that I make.  If I say that I’m going to do something, I do it.   I would like to really put a disclaimer that if you absolutely hate the drawing that you can burn it.   I was kind of going for a pastel and water color kind of thing.  It’s supposed to be you or the essence of you anyways. If you’re like super offended by my attempt at your profile, I won’t blame you. Anyways… the moral of this story is be careful what you ask for, especially when you’re asking me.

I did get you a real painting as well though to make up with mine.  I figured you’re still fairly new to town so you probably have room on your walls to fill up. This one is of the Salt Marsh on Plum Island. I might have done some research after talking about your family because I figured that you might enjoy having a little something to take you closer to home.  It seems like there are a lot of fun architecture and scenery in Newburyport or close to it.  I thought the Plum Island was especially pretty and once I saw this particular piece of art it spoke to me. Hopefully it speaks to you in the same way.

You also made it clear that you’re a Red Sox fan and since the actual stadium is a little out of my price range and not for sale, I got you one that you can build out of legos.  I felt like it was pretty appropriate to get you a toy when you’re never too old for logos and you, yourself said you didn’t feel like an adult.  If it helps you stay young then it’s all the better, I guess!   I did get some adult stuff too with little touches. I know that music is something that you’re passionate about so these are special picks that you can play with. Maybe they’ll help you on your way to make new music in your down time.   I know that the Guitar Amp Key Hanger is probably the most boring gift but it’s pretty practical and it’s kind of cool.  

Lastly, what kind of birthday it without something sweet? I kind of feel like this won’t be an area you’ll be short in since you’re a generally sweet person and so you’ll probably find yourself drowning in sweet stuff. This is from my kitchen though … Happy Birthday.

 Yours,

Lili ( & Dylan)

Stereoplasm Review: Part 1

So. Stereoplasm. I'd heard about them. I'd checked them out. But I really only got interested in them when I started getting very invested in making custom scents - i'm an avid writer/roleplayer, and making scents based on my characters is basically the dirtiest siren's call for me. I had gotten one from The Little Book Eater that I was very happy with. It was time to try a different one from another house.

I'm not gonna write too much about the process of ordering from Stereoplasm, because i've already massively raved about it here. So. You can just read that if you wanna know those deets. No, for this, i'll just be diving straight into a few of the scents I got: my five custom samples, and the animal of the month scent I received, Rubecula.

SAMPLE 1 (PERFUME OIL) || Black tea, pink sugar, tea rose, sandalwood, teak, heather, white grapefruit E.O., light grass, pink pepper, tonka.

The black tea at the very front of this one makes this scent start out very, very sharp, and pretty dang soapy, with an edge of sour grapefruit. It's not a 'hot' black tea note, either: i'd say it's more like black tea that's been cooled to room temperature, or maybe just straight tea leaves. The sugar's there, rounding out the grapefruit, and underneath it is a lush, smooth, floral sweetness, which I assume is the tea rose. It's nice - some rose notes can go overly perfumey or hairspray-ish, and luckily, this isn't one of them. No wood notes, though, but woody notes tend to get lost on my skin unless they're VERY strong or it's a real simple perfume.

After maybe an hour and a half of wear, this one begins to fade, and I have a hard time really picking out the particular notes from that point: it's a little fruity-sweet, very femme, and pretty leafy-soapy. The fruitiness almost smells... Tropical? Weird. Maybe it's the tonka working some magic.

tl;dr: Sharp and soapy tea and citrus with a hint of sugary sweetness and lush, smooth rose. Gets a fruity-tropical smell on the drydown.

RATING: 3.5/5. Not bad, but a little bit too much on the soapy side of tea for me.

--

SAMPLE 2 (PERFUME OIL) || Ruby red grapefruit, white tea leaf, pink sugar, jasmine & tea rose accord, lotus, sweet grass, pink grapefruit E.O., blackberry.

G R A P E F R U I T. Hard grapefruit. Rich, sweet, juicy, sour, deep red grapefruit that's been sugared just enough to make this feel... Punk, almost. Hollywood cerise with neon yellow splattered over it. It's absolutely delicious. That ruby red grapefruit note is, seriously, to die for: if you're gonna get a custom with grapefruit in it, i'd probably suggest this particular note. The florals are there, but they're very light and delicate, and come out more with wear: they're very smooth, not powdery at all. There's a little bit of green-ness in this, too - it's well-blended so it's hard to pick out in particular, but my sister could smell it pretty well, and I think it's the tea leaf.

The grapefruit eventually fades away and just leaves that elegant and smooth jasmine + tea rose accord, with an undercurrent of that grass note - which is nice, sweet and green and very unmistakably grassy smelling - and just a little bite of bitterness from a very realistic blackberry note.

It's got hellllla sillage - i'll catch whiffs of it all the time while it's wet, and I know my boss could smell it from a good few feet away. It can last up to 6-7 hours on me, but probably starts to fade around the 3-4 hour mark

tl;dr: RICH sugared grapefruit with gentle florals that dries down to an elegant, smooth floral with a hint of grass and bitter blackberry.

RATING: 6/5. I love this. It's beautiful, rich, perfectly meets the mood I was trying to get, transformative, complex while not getting lost in its notes... It's just SO GOOD. This is the one I ended up getting a full size of. It's awesome. *kisses fingertips*

--

SAMPLE 3 (PERFUME OIL) || Carnation, tea rose, earl grey, pink sugar, spruce, feminine-woods, white grapefruit E.O., teak, pink grapefruit E.O., pink pepper.

This smells like a rich, velvety, smooth flower that's been coated in powdered sugar, with some hints of citrus - it's not quite reading as grapefruit to me, so I think it might be bergamot from the earl grey note. As it dries down, the powderiness goes away, and that nice, juicy, grapefruit note comes out - not as rich as sample 2's red grapefruit, but probably a bit more realistic; you can almost smell the white filmy skin that covers the grapefruit, y'know?

...Aaaand... This has me craving grapefruit, so i'm gonna just, go, uh... Eat a grapefruit.

.....

.....Okay, back from grapefruiting. (This is not a bit. I actually did this.)

I tend to lose most woody notes on me, as mentioned before, but my sister tried this on and amped the spruce pretty hard: it gave everything a bit of that evergreen minty scent. This lasts for about 3 hours before fading down to a soft, candy-like sweetness.

tl;dr: Sweet-smelling powdery florals amped up with sugar and a citrus edge that dries down to realistic grapefruit, then a simple fruity-candy smell.

RATING: 4/5. I'm not huge on powdery, but this was nice, and that grapefruit E.O note is hella good. Very realistic. Realistic enough to put me on a grapefruit kick.

--

SAMPLE 4 (PERFUME OIL) || Musk, dark plum, pink sugar, black tea, white grapefruit E.O., sandalwood, pink pepper, a drop of teak.

This starts out like, 80% plum, dark and cold and lightly tart, with just a little hint of sugar and just enough of a 'drinkable', watery-smelling quality to identify the black tea. Sometimes I can catch whiffs of the musk - sharp and humid - but not too often. As it dries down, the grapefruit comes out, nice and sour but not sharp or astringent, kind of a delicate grapefruit, and the tea is WAAAY more noticible: smooth and green and like, vaguely soapy in the way that tea can be. Not as soapy as Sample 1, tho. I'm also getting the pink pepper, which i'm really excited about! It makes my nose tingle without smelling overwhelmingly, well, peppery. I've had much more experience with black pepper, and this is so much lighter. If I really huff at it, I think i'm picking up... The sandalwood? It's a dusty, warm wood, but very faint, under everything else. Makes a good base for all the other colder notes.

When it dries down, I get a smell that's kind of like tart, tangy bubblegum, and then eventually, an indistinguishable creamy sweetness.

The scent is pretty light - detectable, but not super strong or filling the room. It lasts for a pretty long time, though: I put some on last night and could smell sugary sweetness on my wrists come morning.

tl;dr: Dark, cold plum and sugar with a hint of musk that dries down to drinkable-smelling black tea, delicate grapefruit, a faint base of warm sandalwood, and a sparkle of pink pepper.

RATING: 4.5/5. My second favorite of the scents, but it doesn't quite match the mood I was going for, and a plum note that swings bubblegummy isn't my cuppa tea.

--

SAMPLE 5 (PERFUME OIL) || Green tea, pink grapefruit E.O., bamboo, white grapefruit E.O., hot pink sugar (stronger), sunflower, driftwood.

I've already got a name picked out for my custom, but if I were to pick this one, i'd pick something else, and it would, quite simply, be 'pink tea' - because that's what it smells like. At the forefront, unmistakeable green tea - smooth, but decidedly herbal, and not particularly soapy - and pink sugar. I'm testing this wearing it on the inside and outside of my wrists, and it smells different - I assume because my skin on the outside of my wrist is drier, so it's fading more quickly. On the inside, i'm getting a gentle floral sweetness that I can't quite place. On the outside, a woody base, and very subtle... I assume white grapefruit note.

Lookin' at the notes... Yep, this smells about as Green with Pink as those suggest. I don't really have much more to add on it: green tea and green notes with sugar and grapefruit that dries down to a subtly sweet sunflower with a woody driftwood base. OH - it fades kinda fast. Within two hours I could barely smell it. ...But maybe that's because i've just gotten grapefruit juice all over my hands and it's overpowering everything.

I've been, uh. On a pretty big grapefruit kick while writing this.

tl;dr: check that last full paragraph, i've basically got it there.

RATING: 4/5. Nice, with some excellent notes, but not quite what I was lookin' for.

--

RUBECULA - ROBIN (PERFUME OIL) || Wild blueberries, wet garden mud, nag champa and vintage musk.

At first: Blueberries, and it's a pretty good blueberry note. I don't like blueberries. Everything about them tells me they're gonna be nice and tart, and then they're way sweeter than I want. Even the sour ones are sweeter than I want. Every blueberry muffin i've ever eaten, i've wanted it to be delicious sweet vanilla complimented by tart zingy blueberries, and every single time it's been a heartbreaking too-sweet disappointment.

And, unfortunately, this is true for this too: it's just... *shakes fist* TOO REALISTIC

But, really, it's very warmly sweet as blueberries tend to be, but also with an edge of tartness that comes out after a few minutes that I big appreciate. It's a very true blueberry scent. Underneath it is a hint of that mud note, which is surprisingly clean for, well, mud - it's like... A gentle earthiness, and a WHOLE lotta wet, like wading through the cool water of a marsh. Every now and then I get something that smells sort of dank and spicey, which I assume to be the nag champa, and then there's the vintage musk, which... Alright, so, it's hard to tell whether it's the blueberries going powdery or the musk, but i'm getting something that smells like makeup powder. I'd say that that powderiness is sort of ever-present, all encompassing everything else. It dries down, basically, to powdery blueberries, and lasts for-fuckin'-everrrr. I was still smelling it into the next morning.

This is pretty, but just a bit too blueberry-sweet for me.

tl;dr: warm, sweet and slightly sour blueberries, powder, and a subtle wet earthiness, with very vague whiffs of spicy, dank nag champa.

RATING: 4/5. Once again, a well-crafted scent with great notes that just isn't quite my jam, because i'm a blueberry hater.

Stay tuned for part 2 of my Stereoplasm reviews, which is gonna cover Libatious Leprechaun, Green Gremlin, Gone Gnome, Lights Across the Sky, Scorpling, and two scents that I picked up in a swap: Kindling and Selasphorus Calliope.

kidpoliticus replied to your post “kidpoliticus replied to your post “you ever think about just how...”

I love brad & richards relationship. theyre great & the fact that brad used to be roomies with richards lil brother in college too. I also wanted to mention that toby always seems to be the first to be concerned for josh. hes the one who helps with the marsh situation in the pilot, he goes to find Josh in ITS2G, & in Noel its Toby who seems to catch Josh in his worst states including being the ONLY person at Yo Yo Ma to see Josh flashback. not to be sad or anything lol

YES. i noticed that too. and the quiet little “josh”... he says when josh accidentally says he can hear the sirens all over the building. and then also toby is the one looking for josh after rosslyn? nobody else is but toby. i like to think josh and toby’s relationship was strengthened a ton by rosslyn, but like. in a non obvious way. like they never outwardly talked about it, josh never was like hey thanks for finding me!! but from then on out josh feels a little safer when he’s with toby. toby feels a little more at ease when josh is within his sights.

Eddie Kaspbrak is on drums

Richie Tozier is on guitar

Bill Denbrough is on keyboard

Beverly Marsh is trying to eat her cereal

Mike Hanlon or Stanley Uris (or hell, Pennywise, if that floats your boat or tickles your fancy) is the beautiful dancing paramedic

And Ben Hanscom wrote the lyrics

...Okay, if you’re still listening... picture this...

Ben writes a lot, he always has, it’s just, he’s in love with Bev so of course she seems to be all he can write about.

Richie finds out, he promptly takes Ben’s poetry and songs and odes and even his fucking haikus and shows them to his band (because of course he starts a band at some point in his life).

His band consists of his best friend Bill, a wicked artist that's still learning the piano so he only knows a few keys.

And his darling boyfriend Eddie, a drummer that doesn’t like to drum but he’s good at it and he does this shit for Richie cause that’s what you do for the love of your life... but also because Richie is very good with his tongue and when he asked Eds if he’d be in his band Eddie was distracted at the time.

So Richie goes to Eddie and Bill, and they all (Richie) decide that they should help Ben out and serenade Bev because they all hate her (unnamed) boyfriend and Bev deserves better. And Ben is the best.

.............Are you still reading? Awesome...……….

So they plan, they bring in Mike and Stan; Mike being the one that happens to have a hookup for a lift and he’s a sucker for a good love story, and Stan being there to tell them all this is a stupid idea but he stays because someone needs to be there when it all inevitably goes to shit and someone needs a ride to the hospital.

Everything starts out great, the boys actually have a nice melody and rhythm going and their voices are pretty damn good.

Then Bev brings out her slingshot because ‘what the hell, wasting your time? my way? your way? we’re friends, are you just there because you want something from me or what? that’s not what friends do’.

So the boys fall out of the lift, it’s not very high though so they’re winded at best and mildly sprained or bruised at worst.

Richie though, just keeps singing and soon Bill joins in and rests the keyboard that fell with them on his chest and keeps playing, then Eddie rolls his eyes and pats the ground on the beat.

Mike grabs Richie’s guitar and gets it to him and plugs it back into the amp and Stan shakes his head and stands there with his arms crossed telling them they’re being dumbasses.

Then they really start to actually sound awesome even lying on the ground and looking like fools.

Mike starts to dance, he then starts dancing and smiling and circling them all, getting right into Stan’s space and urging him to join... and Stan finally gives in and they’re both dancing, and the boys are still singing and playing and then Bev listens more.

She listens and then she goes down and unplugs the amp.

(black screen)

(cut to Bev’s bright freckled pretty face with glistening blue eyes)

“Where’s Ben?”

The boys look around at each other, then Richie takes Eddie’s hand and says:

“If you love him too, then you already know where to find him.”

Bev looks at them, then she smiles.

She leaves them there and steals Stan’s idling car and hightails it to the library.

Too Long Didn’t Read: These Days by Wallows video inspired BenBev and Reddie thoughts to plague my mind after the tenth time I watched it. Enjoy my insanity. I might write the actual fic one day, until then I’ll share this and hope I’m not alone.

With Love, R
