ok so i promised you a rant on Eric Bogosian, and i pinky promise i'll try to keep the story short (those beautiful people i've already privately spewed my fascination at deserve peace and love 💜)
TL;DR: Eric Bogosian is a good researcher and judge of human nature, which honestly shouldn't be surprising given his experience, links below
it is easy to google Eric (i'll call him that not out of disrespect, it's just shorter) and get to a conclusion he's just a slightly awkward old man who had extremely weird youth and gives off a powerful bi vibe just for shits and giggles; which is fair, given the wild way he handles most interviews
but hear me out, i'm not an expert, i'm just a book kind of girl. so i sought out the books, and into the books i looked.
back in 1988 he was nominated for Pulitzer's for his "Talk Radio", and i count that as one of the first cases of him using a real story to weave a (semi)fictional one. it is a powerful play, and a gut-punching movie, but I am mentioning it not because of its ehhh artistic value. in my book, it's a proof of the way he tends to critically re-imagine the things he sees and analyses.
keep that in mind when you google his "Operation 'Nemesis".
he initially started looking into the history of Armenian genocide as into the material worth developing into a plot for a movie. but, in his own words, and i quote, "I wrote this book because I had no choice. The Nemesis story required more attention than a simple screenplay."
he is still not a scientist, mind that - and his book reads as a work of fiction. say, there's no way one can look into the head of a deceased person and know their feelings, but one can guess; and Eric guesses, of course. but the fun part is that he makes educated guesses. nearly for each presumption there's a source. a footnote. a quote.
what really strikes me is that he looked into ONE plot line and fished out a complex slice of history, dripping with CONTEXT. White Russian emigration? it's in there. early stages of oil industry? check. the colourful background of Europe in early XX century? all there.
there's no wonder he spent seven years on this book.
i repeat: SEVEN. YEARS.
call me sapiosexual, but that was the moment when i stopped and thought: ok, THIS IS HOT.
what also impresses me is the way he speaks of his past. he admits he's done wild shit, and adds that the best part was the moment he understood he didn't need to be high to be creative. it's the underlying power of "yeah, been there, got better, SO CAN YOU" that gets me.
to keep things short, i'm adding links:
here's a vid where he speaks of the book on Armenian genocide (i had personal reasons to tear up a bit while listening, ngl)
and here's a vid where he speaks of acting, writing, and improv, that basically broke my art block, for which i am going to be grateful for fucking ever, i guess
(if you got to this point of my rant, you deserve a hug and a respectful kiss on the mouth if you're ok with that. go have a lovely day 💜)

RPCDEV Trope Tuesday
:: How good is your muse at telling when others are lying?
Tumblr media
Zarya is not great at telling when others are lying, and that's largely due to English being a second language for her. She can miss the tonalities that come with sarcasm or a lie, and so she takes things at face value where others might call someone out.
Now, she's pretty decent at it in Russian, because she can pick that up so much easier in her mother tongue.
After years of studying people, she can sort of guess that someone is lying if their body language or facial expression is betraying it, but if they're good at concealing it, she's basically fucked and wouldn't know unless she cast a truth spell. It's something she'd like to improve on, both picking up tonalities in English as well as picking up micro-expressions so that she can get a better idea of what people actually mean.
She believes at heart that most people are good and honest, that they are saying exactly what they mean, and that it is the truth.
With her family, she can tell pretty well if one of them is lying, especially her little brother Luka. They know each other too well to be able to lie to each other. It doesn't stop her from trying to lie to him, he just knows her too well to be fooled by the lie.
It also frustrates her to no end that she struggles to figure out a lie in English, especially since she emigrated to the U.S. years ago and is fluent in English. It's especially important that if she's selling a spell or potion, she wants to be sure that the buyer's intentions are as they say.
She watches a lot of American movies to try and pick up on lies and sarcasm, but the movies are still different from real life.
She now keeps a lie detector spell on her whenever she's doing business to alert her if there's a lie because she wants to trust that her customers are being forthright, but people are fallible. The spell is concealed in a red ring on her pinky finger. It vibrates when there's a lie told within a three-foot radius of herself.
She's always focused on the present when doing business, so doesn't generally have the time to consider what lead up to the lie or if there was anything the other person did to betray it. Later though, she'll think back through it and write down any movements that seemed out of place and compare it to a list of common signs someone is lying to see if they match up.
If they don't, she'll try to research and see if it's something she's not familiar with, or if she just read the movement wrong.

It was very dark November day. All the lights disappeared from the air. In the subway people squeezed me like half empty toothpaste tube and it was exactly how I felt that day – empty and unneeded.
“Hey, lady, just smile!” – somebody cried out for me when I walked into Starbucks, dreaming only about large coffee with lot of sugar to wake me up. Oh man, smiling never has been my keen. I’m from Eastern Europe. People don’t smile without reason there. Smiling is privilege, reserved to special occasion, right? I stuck to it. Working as a make-up artist I learned to talk to people. I discuss with myself because they can’t answer me back – having their faces blocked under layers of makeup, not letting to open their mouth or eyes. Mostly I just babble about nothing, but sometimes memories hit my brain and I opened my soul up, saying out loud the weirdest story from my childhood. Like funeral of guinea pig on the meadow. Me and my best friend Dominika holding hands in the circle of other kids standing around the small shoe box - the modest coffin. Dandelion crowns on our bright hair. Dominika’s pouty lips, teary eyes, skinny knees with several scabs. Our solemn look. Me, always so serious, so conscious, even as a child.
When I walked out on the street, holding my coffee, it was started to rain. Not having the umbrella I had to hide under the trees. “What a gloomy day” – I rumbled to myself, when unexpectedly my phone rang. It was Katie aka Katinka. She worked in local newspaper as an assistant of photographer, we met each other during our English classes for emigrants, couple years ago. Lonely, naive and despaired I struggled with reality, being an open aim to all these cruel guys who just used me and never called back. Katie was my only light in a dark when things went wrong here. Always ready to giving kudos. I could ring her in the middle of the night and she was there for me, listening carefully and bring my sanity back. Now it was her to ask for help.
“Hi, dear, I need to have makeup done immediately”, she said directly. I heard desperation in her voice. “Some famous actor will be here in couples of minutes and Meggie had problems again, fuck, I can’t with her, what am I supposed to do right now? You are my only hope. Please, take a cab and go here. I fought for this photoshoot so hard”. “Who is he actually? – I asked her, throwing the empty paper cup into the bin and hailing a cab. “The young movie celeb, a matinée”, Katie answered, “His name is Timothée Chalamet. Have you heard of him? He is rising star, year or two and he will be too expensive to having him. So the time is now. Are you already in the cab?” “Yeah”, I assured her. “Take it easy. I’ll be there soon”.
We arrived to the studio almost in the same time. Timothée was tall and skinny, with a tousled mop of curly hair and very pale skin. I instantly thought of warm it up, a tone or two. “Just Tim”, he said to me with a smile and shook my hand. Then he sank into the armchair with a sigh. “Need more sleep, sorry” – he murmured, yawning. After checked his deep eye bags I couldn’t agree more. Some work must be done on this delicate angel skin. I took a bobby pin and pin down his mischievous curls, to have forehead uncovered. It surprised me how silky his hair was, my fingers wandered way to long through it.
He closed his beautiful green eyes. Long eyelashes put a shadow on his cheeks. Before I arrived to the studio I googled him and found out that people Photoshopped his pictures into the classic art. I thought then it was funny, but now I was sure he IS just a real piece of art. How even a man can have such a rosy lips, I thought. I should use the applicator but I couldn’t help myself and decided to smooth the color by my fingertips. The sensation was overwhelming. It was like to touch a fresh opened marshmallow.
I dripped a drop of liquid make up on my hand palm, waited for a moment to warm it, then smudged it slowly on Tim's skin, in circled movements. I felt his strong bones structures under my fingers, contrasted with velvety skin. Holy fuck he was damn sexy. “You are such a perfect mix of masculine and feminine”. Words escaped me before I even could stop myself. But he just smiled back, so I asked, “Do you mind I put the makeup on you in more girlish way? I mean some color shadow and maybe shimmer lipstick”.
He agreed so I did this. My hands worked vigorously and soon Tim’s eyelids shone like moonlight and his perfectly curved lips become more pinky and glossy. So kissable, I thought and suddenly my mind went to Dominika’s childish lips. A sweltering summer’s afternoon many years ago. We lurked behind the garages, our sweaty bodies rubbing against each other, I tasted the salt on her skin, we licked each other lips not knowing what more we can do. It was like hot hurricane, like desert storm. When we at last felt apart I still had in my mouth a sweet pieces of bubble gum called Donald, which Dominika forgot to spit out before we started to kiss. Never again I felt that way, with any of men who fucked me, no matter how sophisticated things we did in bed. There were nights when I still dreamed about those childhood days of real closeness, tender and mild.
“So go for it.” Tim suddenly opened his eyes, looked directly into me. Have I said it aloud? Oh my God. I shook my head with a shame. “You described it so beautifully. You long for it. Why are you fooling yourself? Look at what you have done in my case.” He looked at the mirror, glancing his face. “You almost transform me into beautify gal, and I appreciate it, love it, because why not? But do you know what it means to you, what it show about you, hmm?
I gasped the air not being able to say a word. This beautiful creature sitting here said it out loud all my secret thoughts and call my childhood dreams. How this young guy could be so perceptive? “But how did you guess it so perfectly?” – I blurted out still astonished. Some shadow flitted across his face. It was a brief moment but I noticed. “Cause I feel the same?” – he murmured and closed his eyes again, lying back to the armchair.
We didn’t talk anymore. I worked quickly, giving my best. The photo session turned to success. Many other magazines commented it as another proof that Chalamet is brave new world softboi icon, who has courage to live up to whoever he want to be.
It has been almost a year since our met up. Sometimes, cuddling with Katinka in our bed, listening to the sound of raindrops pouring down the New York street I think about that rosy lips boy. No doubtfully he helped me find my own voice, but is he already find it for himself?

Quote
Carnegie Clan The name Carnegie derives from the barony of this name in the parish of Carmyllie, Angus. The Carnegies of Southesk, the first family, were previously designated by the Gaelic township name of Balinhard, also in Angus, and are descended from John de Balinhard whose forebears held these lands. The name first appears in records about 1230 in connection with the Abbeys of Arbroath and Balmerino. John, the 1st of Carnegie died in 1370 and was succeeded by John Carnegie of that Ilk. The direct line of this family died out in the mid 16th century and the lands of Kinnaird were acquired by the Carnegies of Kinnaird, Brechin who hence restored the title Carnegie of that Ilk. From this family, John of Kinnaird was killed at Flodden in 1513 and his son Robert was captured at the Battle of Pinkie, knighted on his release and made an Ambassador to France. His son Sir John was loyal to Mary Queen of Scots till her death. He was succeeded by his brother, John whose son David, 8th of Kinnaird was created 1st Earl of Southesk in 1633. The Earldom of Northesk was given to John his brother who descended from Lord Lour, younger brother of the 1st Earl of Southesk, becoming Earls of Ethie. (The North and South Esk rivers cross the county of Angus). The 5th Earl was forfeited after his support of the house of Stuart in the 1715 Rising. He is commemmorated in the song in "The Piper o' Dundee". The 5th Earl had no issue thus the title passed to a cousin Sir James Carnegie of Pitarro. He reinacted the title lost after 1715 and became the 9th Earl of Southesk. The heir by his marriage to Princess Maud inherited the title of Duke of Fife and is second cousin to the Queen. The most famous bearer of the name was Andrew Carnegie, the son of a weaver whose family emigrated to Pennsylvannia. Starting work in a cotton mill at 13 he rose to become one of the leading railroad magnates and the foremost ironmaster in the United States. In his published work "The Gospel of Work" he wrote "The man who dies rich dies disgraced" and hence he spent the remainder of his life distributing his wealth and creating the Carnegie free libraries in Scotland. The present head of the Carnegies, the 11th Earl of Southesk, still lives at the clan seat in Angus; Kinnaird Castle, Brechin. CARNEGIE: The name originates in the Barony of Carnegy in Angus. The Carnegies of that Ilk, originally 'de Ballinhards', descended from Jocelyn de Ballinhard in the 13th century, whose descendant in 1358 obtained ownership of the Barony and adopted the name. In 1409 Duthac de Carnegie acquired the lands of Kinnaird by marriage to the heiress Mariota but perished on the field of Harlaw two years later. John, 4th of Kinnaird, fell with his king at Flodden in 1513 and family loyalty to the House of Stewart gained his successor position as a Lord of Session, and Mary Queen of Scots' ambassador. The 8th Laird, Sir David, was created Lord Carnegie in 1616, and by Charles I made Earl of Southesk in 1633. The Royalist 2nd Earl was imprisoned by Cromwell, and such abiding loyalty to the Stewarts led to the forfeiture of their estates following the 5th Earl's proclamation of the 'Old Pretender' at Montrose in 1715, and his participation in that Rising. This Earl being devoid of issue, the family representation passed to the 3rd Carnegie Baronet of Pitarro who repurchased the estates and to whose descendant the Earldom was restored in 1855 as 9th Earl. The 11th Earl married Princess Maud, daughter of Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife. and such union bringing also the Dukedom of Fife to the family. Almost concurrently with the Southesk Earldom, Sir John Carnegie, Lord Lour, brother of the 1st Earl, acquired the Earldom of Ethie in 1647, but had it altered to 'Northesk' in 1666. Two Northesk Earls were celebrated Admirals, the latter being 3rd-in-Command under Nelson at Trafalgar.
Tumblr media
 From the earlier common lineage, and from the respective earldoms, many cadet families evolved throughout Angus and Kincardineshire. Perhaps the most universally celebrated of the name was Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) who from humble origin in Dunfermline, Fife, rose to make a vast fortune in railways and steel in America.

Britain Just Created An Immigration Crisis Dumber Than DACA
It’s hard to transcended the boneheaded antics and downright assholery of the Trump administration when it comes to immigration, but Britain is surely trying its excellent right now with the ‘Windrush generation’ — a group of child immigrants who arrived in the two countries legally, but are now at risk of eviction by a structure that wants to take-backsies their immigration status. If you think this sounds exactly like DACA, you’re right…except that these children arrived in the UK over fifty years ago, making this less DACA and more Deferred Action for Grown-Ass Adults. Read Next The Weird Nazi Tiny Tanks You Never Learned About In School The ‘Windrush generation’ — listed after the passenger liner/ ex-Nazi troop carrier that produced the first group to British beaches — comprises over 500,000 people who emigrated from situates such as Jamaica and India to Britain between 1948 and 1971 as part of a free movement curriculum between Commonwealth countries. This platform was particularly encouraged by the British authority, “whos” enthusiastic for beings to facilitate rebuild the country and stanch the labor dearth that comes with sending your able-bodied to get machine gunned in a trench. These law nomads — the majority of whom were children — went on to use a major part of British culture and cultural activities, despite the best efforts of the countless racist and very-actual-fascist political parties of the time. div > This nicely segues us to the present daylight, where at least 57,000 of these people are now falling clog of modern anti-illegal immigration laws. The Windrushers arrived in Britain at a time when immigration self-control consisted of double pinkie-swearing that you two are good to go, so the governmental forces deterred few evidences( predicting !) and since the majority were children wandering on their parents’ passport, few migrants ever formalised their status and instead set about building good, hardworking lives. In 2012, nonetheless, the Reactionary surpassed a rule mandating that all vaguely off-whiteish parties present proof of their status as law immigrants every time they apply for a responsibility, house, or that prominent free-for-all healthcare…which means that Windrushers are now losing those thoughts and being threatened with eviction. As far as sensible immigration policy exits, this is up there with extraditing anyone who had relateds at Plymouth Rock. John Speed Or trying to Make Britain Anglo-Saxon Again # MBASA The outcry over this resulted in PM Theresa May handing a heartfelt justification to the Windrushers, and Home Secretary Amber Rudd announcing the process of developing a special team to help at-risk beings support their migration status. She also apologised for the “appalling” treatment of the Windrushers and condemned developments in the situation on both governments that had “become too concerned with policy and strategy..and had[ lost] sight of the individual” — an confession that directly incriminated Theresa May, who originally drafted the anti-immigration laws that led to this situation, was once paraphrased( likely, in Supervillain Weekly ) as saying that she wanted to realise the country “a really unfriendly environ for illegal migration, ” and, in 2010, administered the slaughter of all government-held registers supporting the legal migration status of, umm…the Windrushers. Good news, nonetheless. This whole charade means that the British government is going to be amazing at handling the 3,000, 000+ EU citizens living in the UK who are going to have their immigration statuses thrown into question after Brexit. Or at the least, they’re going to look stunning by comparison. It’s hard to think how they could mess up worse. Sh* t. Jinxed it.

The Many Haunted Places in California
Ghosts & the Supernatural – Deanna Jaxine Stinson and I, have been involved with the paranormal, since the time we were children. Deanna has explored many places in California and so have I. Below are a list of haunted places in California, that either Deanna and I, did a lookie loo or stopped by to do a semi-investigation. We either did this together or did this separately.  Special Note:  If it wasn’t for Brad Steiger and his many books, I would not be the person that I am today.  Thank you Brad. Now let’s look at the list:
Rockville Cemetery – 4219 Suisun Valley Road, Fairfield, CA:  Date: 6/9/2018 – Time: 1500 Hours.  Present: Deanna Jaxine Stinson, me and one more investigator that does not want his name disclosed.  Deanna being a sensitive, picked up on an Asian woman ghost walking around by a tree.  We looked in the area that Deanna pointed out and discovered a gravesite that read Wendy Strickland and then some Chinese writing.  Wendy’s last name must be a married surname.  Deanna picked up on a little boy ghost wearing a long adult type of shirt that hung past his waist.  I captured an EVP of a boy saying “here”.  The voice that said “here” was talking during the time I was talking. Deanna even saw a ghostly squirrel.  We captured a Class A EVP that says either: “keep it” or “the Keeper”.  We captured another EVP that says to me: “shut up man”.  We may have witnessed a ghostly head peering from behind a building.

Located at the Verona Village Resort on the beautiful Sacramento River a few miles north of Sacramento , California , we had been told the place had stories to tell. Nestled directly on the water in a little hamlet called Nicolas, it should not have been a chore to get there from our Gold Rush Ghosts Paranormal Headquarters in Placerville , about 30 miles away in the heart of the Gold Rush Country.

A Fan Writes: “I was reading your HPI web page and some of your investigations, and I am curious to know if you’ve ever investigated the Vineyard House on Cold Springs Rd in Coloma , CA . I was employed as a security patrol officer in the mid-90’s and the vacant (at that time) Vineyard House was on my route. I experienced many strange goings-on both inside and outside while patrolling the grounds there. The Coloma Pioneer cemetery is directly across Cold Springs Rd from the house and has been documented to be very haunted, was even investigated by the psychic Sylvia Brown some years back. The whole area, according to the owners of the market down the road from the Vineyard House, has more than its fair share of hauntings. Might be good practice for you to check out some of them.”
MORE HAUNTINGS: Gilroy / Highway 152 (Blood Alley) There have been numerous sightings of a woman searching for her child, hearing the sound of a stage coach and the snorting and breathing of horses, and a rumor that a woman was killed by a truck driver and she appears in the passenger seat of a truck, screams, and then vanishes.
Mt. Madonna State Park, 7850 Pole Line Rd. Mansion ruins and surrounding areas are haunted by former owner Henry Miller and his daughter. The daughter has been seen in open fields riding a horse.
