Apparently Sparks uploaded these tracks 4 years ago but this is the first time I have noticed them. It's audio from the Capitol Theatre show (1976), a show at The Bottom Line (1976) and a show at My Father's Place (1982).

I haven't listened to all of it yet but I am personally especially excited about the live performance of Beat The Clock from 1982.

[literaryscribs]

Can I just say that I wish, I really really wish, people would quit calling 20-24 year old characters "bad" or "childish writing" for literally just... ACTING THEIR AGE?!??! Doubly if they have a disability or are specifically coded to be autistic, adhd etc.

Seriously? Is someone out there seriously implying that everyone magically matures into a grizzled, emotionally constipated war veteran the second a 19 year old crosses the threshold into their noughties?

Think real damn hard on things you did when you were younger if you're older currently. We've ALL done cringe stuff that keeps us up until the wee hours of the morning in embarrassment. Whether it be something we said or clogging up someone's toilet, puking all over the place because we partied too hard or sent literal car parts flying because you were learning to drive. You don't just snap your fingers and BAM! YOU'RE MATURE! CUE THE CELEBRATIONS!

Maturity comes from life experiences, the good times, the cringe moments and the failures. Not age. Otherwise you wouldn't have kids/teens behaving way beyond their years due to ongoing and consistent abuse/neglect, nor childish adults trying to relive their teen years at their 'prime' at the very least.

I don't care if it's a fantasy game or if it's set in the future. If a character is 21/22 I *expect* random stupidity, foot in mouth moments. I expect them to be over confident or make poor decisions at times. That's prime time to be figuring your own identity out, making yourself standalone, supporting friends via learning from said mistakes and experiences they've had. It's not supposed to be smooth or perfect.

The subject came up today and I can't decide so I'm throwing it out there because I don't give a fuck and also having survived all of this kinda makes me sound like a badass

[clownjail]

so I was reading artem personal story chapter 2 and this line really stuck out to me because it saids that Artem was a university student eleven years prior to the main story, but artem is currently 27 as of now, so that would mean artem was 16 when he was a university student??

I mean it could be possibly since a lot of the characters have obtained doctorate degrees and went to university at a young age (looking at 27 year old vyn with his TWO doctorate degrees and luke going to university at 16) so this could very well be a possibly! but idk if this was ever confirmed or if the timeline is all messed up 😭😭

[msbarrows]

Argh... once again I thought I'd only missed a few days of updates and it's actually rather longer. As in a week; not sure how much of that I can even remember. I know I've done some odds and ends this week but can't recall on what days. Usual cleaning of upstairs bathroom, and some more tidying of my bedroom. Also probably laundry. Maybe. Kind of been brain fogged (thanks period hormones - they've been hitting harder for a while now).

Been very aware all week that this time last year the nephew and I were going through that final weekend from hell before my sister went into hospice care. I am still so unbelievably thankful for all the home care nurses plus the doctor who made a house call on a long weekend who helped us get through it all, and the EMTs who got her to the hospital when it hit that stage of things. Good people make awful times a little less awful.

May 20 - baked a loaf of potato chive bread. Made a vat of chili, which we had some of with rice.

May 21 - made a pot of chicken vegetable soup. Had with bread from yesterday.

May 22 - cooked some pork tenderloin medallions with apples and onions, served over rice with steamed mixed veg.

May 23 - made some meat sauce out of ground beef, onions, peppers, a can of tomato sauce, and additional seasonings. Did pasta with meat sauce and a salad for supper. Brother will be heading out of town starting this weekend so rather than freeze the leftover sauce I put it in the fridge to use up while he's away; it's enough for two servings.

May 24 - made a pan of saffron risotto with sliced mild Italian sausages for the protein.

May 25 - Brother went out of town so it's just me for a while. Fried some perogies and had them with meat sauce in late afternoon and then later in the evening had a big salad with chicken strips.

May 26 - also just me. Supper was pasta with meat sauce - that finished off the meat sauce.

May 27 - still just me. Big salad for supper since the romaine needs using up. Just walnuts in it for protein as for lunch I'd had a somewhat overstuffed fish burger to finish off the end of a box of fish sticks that wasn't quite enough for two people.

You must really love your work

August 21, 2014. Thursday 2:34am

“As the trial deepens and broadens, I back off from group, from MAC, from Zoe.

When a friend of mine learned how little I earn, $95 an hour doing the Mendosa jury trial, he said “You must really love your work.” I do. Tony Serra and I do it (criminal law practice) for free. He told me he took s vow of poverty.”

End of entry

I wrote the above as a margin note to the following taken from the book Solitude by Anthony Starr at page 75:

“But this does not mean that solitary, creative pursuits are themselves pathological.”

Notes.

The Mendosa jury trial was a 6 co defendant gang murder case. I represented Lisandro Mendosa. The trial lasted from August 4, 2014 to January 28, 2015. It ended with a hung jury and a mistrial was declared. Trial is an all consuming experience. Personal relationships and outside group activity diminish.Your whole being is dedicated to the trial experience.Tony Serra, a well know San Fransisco attorney, represented one of the co defendants in the trial. Mr. Serra turned 80 during the trial. MAC lived with me at the time and Zoe was my sister.

[vacantgodling]

so we’re back at the top of my list for fun chapters and even though i’m supposed to write chapter 27 (which is the last chapter and is mostly already written i just gotta lengthen shit and piece some pieces of bits together) i may break my own outline and jump to write chapter 21 because… been having vibes for it since i wrote chapters 20 & 22 so having it be the first string of coherent chapters to read one after another is… tempting

[medusagorgongirl1]

I love the idea of Tim being all clinical about Kon's crush on him. Like 'there must be something wrong with Kon, why else would he blush when I talk to him' and like proceeds to make a fucking murder board with picture and string connecting each 'event' like

02/27/2024, Incident: Kon stared at me while I trained, when I called him out he blushed profusely and stuttered, obviously he is ill or compromised. Solution: keep a closer eye on him

03/04/2024, Incident: Keeping a closer eye on Kon appears to have flustered him. I caught him staring at me 7 times, each he seemed embarrassed by. Potentially he believes I am an imposter. Solution: team building exercise, and movie night

03/06/2024, Incident: movie night proves that Kon must be having emotional or social issues. Team building went fine, but Kon seemed disturbed at sharing a blanket with me, he went very rigid when I leaned against him, I fear that the Kent's may be mistreating him. Solution: subtley question about home life.

03/08/2024, Incident: questioning about home life initially had Kon happy, then his demeanor became shy. He offered to show me his favorite restaurant near the Kent's and take me star gazing. He appeared very put out when I asked if Cassie and Bart would be coming. Solution: maybe Kon only expects me to realize the harmful habits of the Kent's.

03/14/2024, Incident: I was left in a critical condition after a mission, Kon refused to leave my side. That is normal as the rest of team refused to leave, but I swear he was holding my hand while I slept. Solution: Kon is more tactile that I thought?

03/16/2024, Incident: my memory of the mission and the events leading to my injury is better now. Kon is the one that caught me. Though I could swear that he was begging me not to leave him because he 'loves me'. Solution: request less morphine next injury.

03/21/2024, Incident: Kon said my injury gave him a lot to think of, he requested that we go on a "date" tonight. Solution: ask Kon if he got the phrase 'hang out' and 'date' mixed up

03/22/2024, Incident: Kon kissed me. Solution: I am an idiot.

What Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did in 2024.

I started this project back in January and for most of a year, every week, I came up with the highlights of what the Biden-Harris Administration did. I did it because it felt to me our media and national conversion was broken, our government was doing huge things that it felt like almost no one knew about. It's amazing how often I struggled to find a single news source that wanted to cover a huge life changing project.

This is the last Friday before Election Day, and if you haven't already voted, take a minute to go back and look at the last 40 weeks, and decide, do you like these things or want literally the reverse on every issue.

and remember to read past the headlines and dig to find out what your government is up to, it might shock you how much is happening that no one talks about.

[thoughtportal]

This is a developing news story and may be updated as more information is obtained. If you value such information, please support this Substack.

On Dec. 1, a woman immolated herself with a Palestinian flag outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta.

Now, according to the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department, the woman — referred to in their report as “Jane Doe” — is alive and “in stable condition” at Grady Memorial Hospital, where she has been since the immolation.

After repeated requests for her name, the department stated to this reporter in an email that it “does not disclose the identities of victims”. Repeated inquiries to Grady, which is a public hospital, went unanswered. The hospital houses the Walter L. Ingram Burn Center.

“Jane Doe” is 27.

When asked if they had made any comment to tell the public that she was still alive this entire time, the official at Atlanta Fire Rescue Department said they “shared the last updated with local media via email on 12/21/23. The release stated: ‘The victim remains hospitalized in critical condition. The security guard, who attempted to assist the burn victim, has been released from the hospital.’” Several internet searches on that quote produce no results. This would also indicate that "Jane Doe" went from critical to stable condition without public notice. 

Aaron Bushnell immolated himself at the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, explaining “I will no longer be complicit in genocide” and shouting “Free Palestine!” repeatedly as he burned alive. So, his case — unlike many other self-immolations including Gregory Levey, Raymond Moules, Timothy T. Brown, Malachi Ritscher and others — has received some attention. Thus, “Jane Doe” being ignored fits with the usual pattern. Bushnell is the exception — probably because he livestreamed it. See “Ignoring Immolators Lulls the Society to Sleep.”

As Bushnell was burning himself alive, an officer pointed a gun at him, barking orders as if he constituted a threat. A security guard, Michael Harris, sustained injuries working to rescue “Jane Doe” — but there were similarities, where she was actually viewed as a potential threat.

At one point, the police report for “Jane Doe” refers to it as being a case of “arson”.

Much of the media coverage and general discussion of her self-immolation in December focused on if she had done damage. The Atlanta Police Chief said: “We believe this building remains safe, and we do not see any threat here.” The Israeli government released a statement: “It is tragic to see the hate and incitement toward Israel expressed in such a horrific way.”

Police records indicate that they obtained a search warrant and entered an apartment they believed to be associated with “Jane Doe” — initially using a drone:

The drone was able to relay information as to the layout and the belongings inside. After it was deemed "safe" entry was made with bomb technicians. While clearing the apartment no improvised explosive devices were located.

The police report also noted:

During the search a Quran was found in the bedroom along with a [sic] Arabic dictionary and a Hebrew dictionary. The bedroom bookshelf contained books related to fiction and fantasy. A "Drug use for grown ups" book was on the bookshelf as well. Two journals were seized from the bedroom. A thumbdrive was seized from the bedroom as well. A laptop computer was seized from the kitchen counter. A copy of the search warrant was left in the living room of the apartment. The front door [of] the apartment was secured before law enforcement left the premises.

When pressed for more information in compliance with an Open Records Request under Georgia law, Atlanta Fire Rescue Department claimed: “There is an ongoing and active investigation for the incident in question, which is why the only releasable information has been shared via the incident report. Investigative documentation is not available for release until the investigation is closed.”

Your Ascendant through the degrees 🧍🏾

The degree of the Ascendant (ASC) in the natal chart adds extra nuance to how a person expresses their outward identity, first impressions, and approach to life. Since the Ascendant represents the mask we wear to the world, its degree can show additional personality traits, strengths, challenges, and even fated themes.

0° – A raw and unfiltered expression of the sign. This person embodies their rising sign in the most direct way, often making a striking first impression. Can be a “pioneer” in how they present themselves.

1° – Strong individuality and presence. This person may have a unique or unconventional appearance, standing out naturally in a crowd.

2° – A balance between confidence and self-awareness. Can have a calm but magnetic presence.

3° – Communicative and expressive. This degree often gives a natural charm or an ability to engage with others easily.

4° – A solid and grounded presence. This person might appear more serious, reliable, or mature beyond their years.

5° – Creative, playful, and attention-grabbing. Can have an artistic or theatrical way of presenting themselves.

6° – Often highly intuitive and empathetic. This degree may indicate a strong emotional depth behind the initial impression.

7° – Mysterious, enigmatic, or hard to read. People may find them intriguing but difficult to truly understand.

8° – Powerful and magnetic. This person exudes confidence and may naturally draw attention without trying.

9° – A visionary or idealist. They come across as deeply philosophical or strongly tied to their beliefs.

10° – Disciplined and composed. May have a mature, professional, or responsible demeanor.

11° – Makes them a natural leader or innovator. People look to them for inspiration.

12° – Highly adaptable and open-minded. May have an easygoing, yet unpredictable, presence.

13° – A deeply transformative energy. This degree can make a person mysterious or constantly evolving in how they present themselves.

14° – Often charming and persuasive. Has a social or diplomatic way of interacting with others.

15° – A balanced and harmonious energy. People may see them as approachable, well-rounded, or naturally attractive.

16° – Can appear rebellious or unconventional. Often challenges societal norms in their personal style or behavior.

17° – Magnetic and influential. This person may be naturally authoritative or respected in social settings.

18° – A deeply intuitive and possibly spiritual energy. People might feel like they have an “old soul” presence.

19° – A mix of independence and charisma. They can come across as both friendly and distant.

20° – Often has a strong presence, commanding attention without trying. May have an air of authority.

21° – A social butterfly. This degree often makes a person naturally popular or well-liked.

22° – A degree giving them a sense of purpose and ambition that others notice immediately.

23° – Unpredictable and unconventional. Can be a trendsetter or someone who defies expectations.

24° – A mix of warmth and intensity. May appear inviting but also have an air of mystery.

25° – A natural performer or storyteller. This person may have a theatrical or larger-than-life presence.

26° – Highly independent and strong-willed. Others see them as fearless or determined.

27° – A deep thinker. People may feel they are constantly analyzing or observing their surroundings.

28° – A unique mix of wisdom and eccentricity. This degree often carries a “genius” energy in how they express themselves.

29° – The Ascendant at 29° makes someone intensely embody their rising sign while also feeling a sense of urgency about their identity. They may undergo major changes in self-expression throughout life and feel fated to fulfill a specific personal mission.
