This monster of a document is finally done!

This is an in-universe comprehensive overview of Humans, Super Mutants, Ghouls, and other Man-made Sapients, made by a Nightkin scholar named Zekhau, who features in our Fallout: Caldera faction The Firemen.

I've included little citations to certain concepts, though this also contains quite a bit of speculative lore-welding - including everything from the original Vault 13 GURPS timeline to the apocrypha of the Fallout Bible - as well as references to our unreleased Fallout Rewrite.

Below the cut is a full excerpt as a preview!

Misconceptions On Nightkin

To be Nightkin is to reject the harsh light of the great flame and to become kin with the night, for in its darkness all are equal. Such is the name we choose for ourselves, still reverent to our Night God even as we unlearn or reject his tenants - in fact, it was once that all Metamorphs were Nightkin, until age and changing tongue saw the shift. Now only those who pledged themselves the deepest are still referred to as such - telltale in our strange skin and manner.

Many misconceptions reside on both - but in truth the explanations are some simple and some complex.

To the nature of our skin, it is a simple mutation: In all strains of Metamorph, a curious development of yellow-pigment in place of our melanin as brought about by FEV - but so too is another, which causes blue or purple tones, those typical in the ‘Born’ Igneous. It is the loss of the former which causes our cerulean parlor - the Old World termed such ‘Axanthism’, that which prevents yellow in many green Amphibians thus turning them to blue.

This seems to be an effect of our use of Stealth Boys - to which many ascribe the changes in our minds as well. The latter is… not an untruth, but not correct either. In all natures of the mind, the answer is more complex.

It is true that the Stealth Boy, prolonged of use, causes paranoia, delusions, a creeping organic psychosis which makes the world fuzzy and strange - the inner circle of the Brothers of Steel have reported as much, so say the watchers. Yet this is so often confused, conflated with the Pre War term ‘Schizophrenia’, a diversity of neurology with many stigmas even then, whose presentation is not always the similar - more often catatonia in nature, or flat in emotion, chaotic of speech or sense.

Similar, but distinct - for while this can be supported by community or aided with Chems known Antipsychotics, the usage of a Stealth Boy deteriorates the physicality of the brain itself, requiring other methods of assistance. Even so, this does not elaborate the reason why even without, so many Nightkin are strange in compatriots eyes.

Nightkin were the best and brightest of the Master’s Unity, and as such were given the hardest tasks - those of bloodshed and subterfuge, of hearing the First Hive most clearly, to which the loss of such we know was devastating. This reveals another secret: that of remembrance - where as others change upon transformation begat a forgetting, many of us recalled old harms, of overseers and vaults and pain of wasteland or fear of being taken to the Unity.

For some, we were always this way, and our diversity of mind made pain and change natural to us. For those who were many living as one, their mind-kin stepped forward to take the pain. For those who survived pain, we embraced it.

For some, when the Master fell, we embraced Stealth Boys, becoming one with the Night in the only fashion left to us. In the absence of Hive, we listen to whatever voices we can - and in the absence of even that, our minds invent ones to hear.

For some seeking stability the answer may lie in Nullification of noise, Amplification of voice, or in medicines strange. For others, simply others familiar may be our savior. I myself have found kin in strangers, born not from Unity but from Spore, and in those that read my scriptures.

Should you require it, seek out the strange - kin in mind can work as one, should we have kin in heart to guide us.

Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, dies at 93

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (June 8, 2023) — Marion Gordon “Pat” Robertson religious broadcasting pioneer, philanthropist, educator, Christian leader, businessman, and author died on

June 8, 2023, in his home, surrounded by his family. He was 93.

The Christian Broadcasting Network announced his death.

Dr. Robertson served as the founder and chairman of The Christian Broadcasting Network, Inc. (CBN); founder, chancellor, and chief executive officer of Regent University; founder of Operation Blessing Relief and Development Corporation (OB); founder and president of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ); co-founder and chairman of International Family Entertainment, Inc.; and a leading force behind several other influential organizations and broadcast entities.

His greatest treasure in life was knowing Jesus Christ and having the privilege of proclaiming Him and His power to others. His life was lived to the glory of God.

Early Life, Education, and Military Service

Pat Robertson was born on March 22, 1930, in Lexington, Virginia, to A. Willis Robertson and Gladys Churchill Robertson. His father served for 34 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.

After graduating with honors from McCallie School, a military prep school in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Mr. Robertson entered Washington and Lee University in 1946, where he was elected Phi Beta Kappa.

In 1948, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. After graduating magna cum laude from Washington and Lee in 1950, Robertson served as the assistant adjutant of the First Marine Division in Korea. He was promoted to first lieutenant in 1952 upon his return to the United States.

Mr. Robertson received a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1955 and his M.Div. from New York Theological Seminary in 1959.

Family

In 1954, he married Adelia “Dede” Elmer Robertson. They were married 67 years before she predeceased him on April 19, 2022, at the age of 94.

Together they had four children: Timothy Brian Robertson of Virginia Beach, Virginia; Elizabeth Robertson Robinson of Dallas, Texas; Gordon Perry Robertson of Chesapeake, Virginia; Ann Robertson LeBlanc of Portsmouth, Virginia; plus 14 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren.

Religious Broadcasting

In 1959, Mr. Robertson moved his family to Tidewater, Virginia, with just $70 and a vision of establishing the first Christian television network in the United States.

Although he didn`t even own a TV, he filed incorporation papers for The Christian Broadcasting Network, Inc., then raised funds to purchase a defunct UHF station.

On October 1, 1961, CBN began broadcasting from WYAH-TV in Portsmouth, Virginia. At the time, its signal barely reached the city limits, recalled his son Gordon Robertson, CBN`s president and CEO.

The ministry’s scope grew exponentially over the decades, reaching viewers across America and around the globe through television broadcasts, cable, satellite, the internet, and other media.

Today, CBN is one of the world’s largest evangelistic ministries, proclaiming the Good News in over 100 countries and dozens of languages, including Russian, Arabic, Spanish, French, and Chinese.

CBN`s flagship program grew out of a telethon in 1963, when Mr. Robertson asked a “club” of 700 viewers to give $10 a month.

In 1966, The 700 Club program was created, airing each weekday with interviews, prayer and ministry. Today, it is one of the longest-running religious television programs in America.

He hosted the daily program until October 1, 2021, the sixtieth anniversary of CBN`s first broadcast, when he announced that Gordon Robertson would be the show`s new full-time host.

Over the years, Mr. Robertson`s co-hosts included Ben Kinchlow, Sheila Walsh, Gordon Robertson, Terry Meeuwsen, and Wendy Griffith.

Throughout its broadcast history, The 700 Club and CBN News have covered national and international events and issues, including key elections, the COVID-19 pandemic, the war on terror, Israel, and the Middle East.

Guests have included former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump; key congressional leaders from both parties; as well as a “Who’s Who” of world and national figures, journalists, professional athletes, celebrities, and pundits.

Regent University

In 1977, Mr. Robertson incorporated CBN University, and classes began in 1978.

Later renamed Regent University, the school quickly became a leading academic center for Christian thought and action, and now has over 30,000 alumni. Today, thousands of students take classes on its Virginia Beach campus and online around the world.

With the mission of “Christian leadership to change the world,” Regent University offers associate`s, bachelor`s, master`s, and doctoral degrees in numerous disciplines and holds accreditations from bodies including the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

U.S. News & World Report has listed Regent among the top national universities four years in a row.

Distinguished faculty and lecturers have included John Ashcroft, former U.S. Attorney General; Vern Clark, former Chief of Naval Operations; Steve Forbes, president and CEO of Forbes, Inc.; Justice Samuel Alito, U.S. Supreme Court; and Michelle Bachmann, former U.S. Congresswoman.

Operation Blessing

Operation Blessing was established by Mr. Robertson in 1978 as a nonprofit organization with a mission “to demonstrate God`s love by alleviating human need and suffering in the United States and around the world.”

Its programs focus on the primary goals of providing hunger relief, clean water, medical aid, and disaster assistance to help break the cycle of suffering for those in need.

Operation Blessing has provided relief aid in the aftermath of numerous disasters across America and around the globe, including the COVID-19 pandemic, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and fires.

Since its founding, Operation Blessing has touched the lives of millions of people in America and around the world.

The American Center for Law and Justice

In 1990, Mr. Robertson founded the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a public-interest law firm and education group that defends the First Amendment rights of people of faith.

Focusing on pro-family, pro-liberty, and pro-life issues, the ACLJ has argued before the Supreme Court and won several high-profile religious freedom cases.

Author

A prolific and New York Times best-selling author, Mr. Robertson wrote 24 books, including The Secret Kingdom, Answers to 100 of Life`s Most Probing Questions, and The New World Order, which were each the number one religious book in America in the year of their respective publication.

His other books include the autobiographical works Shout It From the Housetops and I Have Walked With the Living God; along with My Prayer for You, Maximum Security, Beyond Reason: How Miracles Can Change Your Life, America’s Dates With Destiny, The Plan, The New Millennium, The Turning Tide, The End of the Age, Steps to Revival, Bring It On, The Ten Offenses, Courting Disaster, Miracles Can Be Yours Today, The Greatest Virtue, Right on the Money, Successful Families and Finances in the Secret Kingdom, The Power of the Holy Spirit in You, and The Shepherd King, released in May 2023.

Presidential Candidate

In 1986, Mr. Robertson announced his intention to seek the Republican nomination for president of the United States on a conservative platform.

While he enjoyed some success in the early primaries, he eventually placed third.

At the 1988 Republican Convention, Mr. Robertson endorsed Vice President George H. W. Bush, who won the nomination and the presidency.

Organizations, Awards and Honors

Mr. Robertson was a past president of the Council on National Policy.

1982 he served on President Ronald Reagan`s Task Force on Victims of Crime. He previously served on the Board of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership and on the Governor`s Council of Economic Advisors in the State of Virginia. Mr. Robertson founded and served as the president of the Christian Coalition of America until his resignation in 2001.

Over the years, numerous officials and groups have recognized Mr. Robertson`s achievements, including Humanitarian of the Year in 1982 by the Food for the Hungry organization; Man of the Year in 1988 by Students for America; Christian Broadcaster of the Year in 1989 by the National Religious Broadcasters; one of America`s 100 Cultural Elite in 1992 by Newsweek magazine; the Cross of Nails award in 2000 for his vision, inspiration and humanitarian work with The Flying Hospital; and the Distinction in Ministry Award in 2009 from New York Theological Seminary.

In 2013, he received the Winston Churchill Lifetime Achievement Award, the first of its kind awarded by the Faith & Freedom Coalition in Washington, DC. And in 2017, he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 25th Silver Anniversary Movieguide Awards in Hollywood, California, having served on the Board of Reference for their Christian Film & Television Commission since 2010.

In honor of his support for Israel, Mr. Robertson received the Defender of Israel Award in 1994 from the Christians` Israel Public Action Campaign; the State of Israel Friendship Award in 2002 by the Chicago chapter of the Zionist Organization of America; and a Lifetime Achievement Award for Support of Israel in 2008 by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Why would a drag show on a university campus ever be described as “family friendly?”

South Dakota’s regent board will devise a policy to “enhance the protection of minors” during campus events, following strong conservative backlash against a drag show at one of its universities.

The governing board, which controls the state’s six public four-year universities, voted unanimously at a December meeting to move forward with the policy, despite not having language drafted for it.

The Gender and Sexualities Alliance, an LGBTQ student organization at South Dakota State University that sponsored the drag show there, billed it as “kid-friendly” and appropriate for families to attend.

The new policy represents the latest in campus culture wars, which have also included fights after conservatives objected to critical race theory, a decades-old academic framework that describes racism as systematic.

A conservative movement has demonized drag shows performed in front of children. Republican policymakers have suggested drag artists are exposing children to sexually explicit routines and even gone so far as to accuse them of grooming young people.

Drag supporters say the art form is not intrinsically sexual, that it only serves as a way to break gender norms and that no evidence exists showing children have been harmed at a drag show.

Still, several state legislatures, including those in Tennessee and in Missouri, have recently introduced bills intended to curtail drag shows.

Conservatives quickly registered their objections to the South Dakota State drag show. One Republican state representative, Jon Hansen, said on Twitter that he wrote to South Dakota State President Barry Dunn, telling him it was inappropriate for children to take part in the event.

“Drag, as you likely know, is mostly cross-dressing men masquerading around as hyper-sexualized women, often times in scant lingerie,” Hansen said. “Drag is hyper-sexual by its very nature, and kids should not be invited to partake in this.”

So intense was the uproar that Dunn in November made a public statement clarifying the student group organized the event and did not dip into university funds to do so.

In December, the regents chimed in. The regent president, Pam Roberts, said in a statement then that the board asked university presidents to temporarily block minors from attending campus events sponsored by student organizations.

“We respect the First Amendment, but none of us are happy about children being encouraged to participate in this event on a university campus,” Roberts said.

Late last month, the board held an impromptu meeting to discuss the controversy. During that meeting, regents voted in favor of a new policy, directing their central office to craft one.

A board statement did not reference when regents will make a finalized version of the policy public. It said that in the interim, officials “will review all upcoming events involving the presence of minors on campus to confirm adequate protocol and safeguards are met.”

Another Republican state senator, Julie Frye-Mueller, told the regents at an earlier December meeting she intended to file a bill restricting drag shows in the state.

AG Renews Fee Fight With Aggies

$249,000 Awarded in Gay Students' Case

An 11-year-old battle between Texas A&M University and its homosexual students has entered a new phase as the losers — Aggie lawyers and the state attorney general — bicker over who pays the winners' fees.

The attorney general dropped out of the case in 1984 after the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' second ruling in favor of the Gay Student Services organization.

But the A&M Board of Regents, led by Houston litigator Joe H. Reynolds, opposed capitulation and vowed to continue the fight without the AG's help.

U.S. District Judge Sim Lake of Houston — a 1966 A&M graduate — ruled Nov. 8 that the winners’ attorneys are entitled to $249,000 in fees.

But court records show that nearly one quarter of the 1,398 hours billed by the plaintiffs' lawyers was for work done on the case after the AG's office dropped out.

Lake's order did not specify who is responsible for paying the fees.

Both the AG's office and A&M, of course, are state-supported, but neither side has volunteered to pay the award from its budget.

Also complicating the dispute is the game of musical chairs played by some ofthe lawyers in the case.

Lead plaintiffs' counsel J. Patrick Wiseman, one of four lawyers awarded the fees, went to work for the AG's office while the case was being appealed and even performed some of the work for the gay students' appeal while on the AG's payroll.

Although Wiseman was hired as chief of the AG's division supervising A&M's defense, and one of his jobs was to drop costly, fruitless appeals, he denies he played any role in the A&M case from the state's perspective.

Wiseman now is a name partner in Austin's Richards, Wiseman & Durst, where another name partner is David Richards - the former executive assistant attorney general who informed A&M that the AG's office was pulling out of the case and who wrote a letter in September 1985 warning A&M's new lawyers that the state would not pay the plaintiffs' fees.

Richards informed A&M in October 1984 that the Aggies would continue the fight without state funding.

When the fee issue arose in September 1985, Richards wrote a lawyer from Reynolds' firm, which had taken over the case, "We do not share your understanding that all fee awards will be assessed directly against the State of Texas but rather understand that they may be assessed directly against funds of Texas A&M.”

Ron Dusek, a spokesman for Attorney General Jim Mattox, said Nov. 16 the AG's position hasn't changed.

"We're going to stand by [Richards' letter," Dusek said.

"They [A&M]have dragged it out every step of the way. Even if they had a good legal basis for their claim, it would have been a waste of the taxpayers' money," said Wiseman, lead counsel for the gay students' group and a 1970 A&M graduate.

Gay Students Services, et al. v. Texas A&M University, et al., No. H- 77-325, was one of a several suits filed nationwide in which homosexuals challenged universities for accreditation of their campus groups.

J.M. Minton, Keith Stewart and Patricia Woodridge filed suit in February 1977 when A&M refused to charter a Gay Students Services chapter.

A month later, the nine-member A&M Board of Regents vowed to fight the group's efforts.

youtube

"So-called 'gay' activities run diabolically counter to the traditions and standards of Texas A&M," stated the Reynolds-authored resolution, adopted by the Regents on March 22, 1977.

"The Board of Regents is determined to defend the suit filed against it by three students seeking 'gay' recognition and. if necessary, to proceed in every legal way to prohibit any group with such goals from organizing or operating on this or any other campus.”

The late U.S. District Judge Ross N. Sterling of Houston dismissed the suit in November 1977.

But a three-judge 5th Circuit panel, led by former Chief Judge James P. Coleman, reversed Sterling and the case in May 1980.

Seven months later, the U.s. Supreme Court refused to hear A&M's appeal.

The four-day trial in November 1981 centered on whether A&M's concerns about AIDS and Texas statutes outlawing some sexual acts outweighed the homosexual students' free-speech rights.

Sterling decided in A&M’s favor in May 1982.

Again a three-judge panel, this time led by Judge John R. Brown of Houston, favored Gay Student Services.

In the Aug. 3, 1984, opinion, 737 F.2d 1317, the 5th Circuit ruled that the students' rights had been violated and their costs should be reimbursed.

Sometime after the 5th Circuit ber when, the attorney general opted not to continue the case.

Texas A&M had been the only university of about 50 to stop approval of campus gay groups at the trial level, said Lonny F. Zwiener, the state's lawyer at the trial.

The Supreme Court had refused to hear the five similar cases that had reached it, he said.

Nevertheless, Zwiener was sure A&M could prevail by arguing the restriction of the group amounted to internal speech that was not constitutionally protected.

"I wanted to go to the Supreme Court with it. But, at that time, the AG [Mattox] was lukewarm on it," Zwiener said Nov. 14.

Before a decision was made on whether to appeal, Zwiener left the AG's office in September 1984 for a post with the University of Texas general counsel.

On Oct. 1, 1984, 24 days before Richards' letter to A&M announcing the AG's withdrawal from the case, Wiseman was appointed chief of the state/county division of the attorney general's office.

At a regents' dinner soon after the attorney general's refusal to appeal, Reynolds became angered and volunteered the services of his firm, the now-defunct Reynolds, Allen & Cook, to handle the appeals, said a former A&M lawyer, who spoke Nov. 15 on the condition he not be identified.

Reynolds, a 1947 Baylor University graduate now with Houston's Reynolds, Cunningham, Peterson & Cordell, did not return calls.

One aspect of the fee dispute is claims by A&M officials that the attorney general's refusal to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court smacked of "impropriety" because of Wiseman's move to the AG's office.

"The circumstances which prompted the refusal of Wiseman's ... section to fulfill its duty in representing a state agency on the appellate level and attempting to block the agency from use of its own source funding, has resulted in not only a look of impropriety, but a very real possibility of impropriety in fact," Eddie D. Gose, chief of litigation for Texas A&M, wrote into the court record.

Neither Gose nor his assistant, Robbie Malone, returned calls.

Wiseman acknowledged that one of his main charges with the state was to curtail the filing of doomed appeals and thereby save money.

But he said Nov. 16 he played no role in the Gay Student Services appellate decision.

"There has never been any intellectual honesty on A&M's side from the very beginning," Wiseman said.

"They [A&M] continue to fight it on every issue but the substantive issue.”

Any possible conflict was resolved, Wiseman said, when A&M gave the case to Reynolds' firm.

In the months after Wiseman joined the attorney general, he spent 50.25 hours drafting the Gay Student Services' response to A&M's Supreme Court challenge, court records show.

Reynolds' firm argued to the Supreme Court that the homosexual community needed "new members" to survive and that college campuses provided fertile grounds for those recruits, "Texas A&M University has the right to protect students from the inevitable negative societal side effects of homosexual conduct," A&M's volunteer lawyers argued.

The Supreme Court on April 1, 1985, denied A&M's petition for a writ of certiorari.

The fee question was one of 300 cases that sat on Sterling's docket until his death in January 1988.

Lake assumed Sterling's cases when he joined the Houston bench in September.

The latest version of Reynolds' firm, Reynolds Shannon Miller Blinn White &Cook, dissolved in June, one month after the firm dropped the case.

The A&M general counsel's office then took over.

NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NOVEMBER 17, 2019

23 WORKER’S STARTED A LABOR PROTEST

Regent Foods Corporation Faces Labor Protest as Workers Demand Fair Treatment

Manila - Regent Foods Corporation, a leading food manufacturer in Pasig, Metro Manila, is facing a labor protest as workers demand fair treatment and better working conditions.

The protest, which began on October 6, involves hundreds of workers from Regent Foods Corporation's factory, who are demanding better wages, improved safety standards, and an end to discrimination and harassment in the workplace. According to the workers, they have been subjected to unfair treatment and hazardous working conditions, which have put their health and safety at risk. They claim that they are not being paid fair wages for their work and are being denied basic benefits, such as healthcare and sick leave.

The workers have also accused the company of discrimination and harassment, claiming that they have been subjected to verbal abuse and intimidation by their supervisors and colleagues. RFC reprimanded Mr. Sotto in a social media post after he assisted the 23 workers in posting bail after they were jailed on Nov. 9 following a violent dispersal at the picket line.

Sotto stated that he met with and listened to both Regent management and employees during a protest that led to violence and the arrest of 23 people: 20 workers, two members of another organization, and a tricycle driver who "just went down to see what was going on." Twelve people have been released on bond, including the tricycle driver for whom Sotto claims they obtained funds, while 11 remain in jail.

The youthful mayor said he requested owners Irwin and Susan See to drop the accusations, and the couple indicated they would talk with their board of directors. Sotto said he learned on Saturday that the corporation would not withdraw the complaint. Sotto, who overturned the Eusebio dynasty in Pasig in May, promised to "do everything in my power to assist these 23 in regaining/maintaining their liberty." Meanwhile, labor groups praised Sotto's support for the workers and asked for his assistance, warning that the Regent administration will file more cases against the unions.

Anything for @tryxyhijinks.

Okay so to begin with, I just want to say I'm old enough that I don't really put any faith in institutions to do the right thing when they can possibly avoid it. I don't know why I feel the need to say that--maybe because I'm constantly reminding myself/being reminded of it? Just looking at Madison politics you can see this, from the origins of Mifflin Street Block Party in the late 60s with Paul FUCKING Soglin as one of the founders, and the police trying to shut it down, tear gassed people, etc., to him trying to shut it down when he was mayor.

But I don't want to talk about contemporary Madison politics too much. It's too depressing and also I'm afraid if I slander the DA I'm gonna get my ass handed to me somehow. Instead, let's look at the 60s. (OKAY in the following I somewhat conflate UW and Madison as entities. I…am not going to unpick this. Sorry. When you have a big governmental entity like the university and also a city, there's always a push-pull between them, but also you have to believe that a lot of things, like policing etc., are done collaboratively. Also I didn't even get to policing in the below but anyway you should read this if you're interested.)

Madison made history by adopting Wisconsin's first fair housing regulations in 1963. At the time, only 27% of rentals and 12% of houses were available to people of color. The new ordinance forbade discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, or ancestry. (https://www.channel3000.com/madison-magazine/city-life/madison-made-civil-rights-history-in-1963-by-adopting-the-first-fair-housing-ordinance-in/article_2986059b-3ab2-5850-ab9e-373e34cbaf4e.html) But if you go and read that article, you'll see that there was a lot of opposition from realtor groups and even an alder whose district was FIFTY-FIVE PERCENT BLACK. The vote was eventually 11-11, with the mayor breaking the tie. Because of exemptions added in the negotiation process, about 60% of the city's housing stock was exempted from the rule.

Moving forward to 1969. I actually allude to the Black student strike in January/February of that year in the book's opening paragraphs! (https://news.wisc.edu/black-student-strike/) Students had thirteen demands, including the creation of a Black Studies department, more Black student power over the administrators/teachers that had power over them, an increase in Black student admissions, and more. The university responded with a lot of mealy-mouthed "we are definitely failing these students and we're sorry" rhetoric. Although they managed to organize a 10,000 person protest that didn't devolve into a riot (a really big achievement), TWO-THIRDS of the professors sided with the administration, and ultimately the demands weren't really met at the time (in March 1969, a Black Studies Department was established). Up until WWII, UW departments had "implicit quotas" on the number of Jewish faculty they would hire, and during the same time period as the Black student unrest, administrators capped out-of-state admissions "to drastically reduce the number of Jewish students attending UW" (source: https://asset.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/NK4EX2U5W4HBN9A/R/file-a0783.pdf?dl, p. 9; I would imagine this had a similar affect on the admission of Black students, because Wisconsin is a VERY white state. ANYWAY if you're like "why did every Jewish person during this time period go to University of Chicago?" It's because they were the one that didn't have a quota.)

There were, unsurprisingly, protests about the presence of the ROTC on campus as well, starting in like…let's say 1966. In 1989, faculty voted to kick them off campus for anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination, but the board of regents declined (https://www.tumblr.com/madisonlgbtq/616656471749443584/30-years-ago-5-days-of-protests-against-the-rotc). In the early 2000s, I still had friends who were protesting the ROTC on campus.

The TAA, one of the first teaching assistant unions in the country, was agitating for same-sex partner benefits very early on (1993), but because they had to negotiate both with UW and the state, they didn't actually get it until like 2008!!! (Source: https://taa-madison.org/history/) Wisconsin codified sexual orientation as a protected class in 1982 (the first state in the nation to do it!) but to satisfy conservatives, the bill also condemned premarital sex (link: https://www.channel3000.com/madison-magazine/looking-back-uncovering-so-called-gay-purges-at-uw-madison/article_d4b1dbd0-e2af-11ed-95c3-fb4a2c4bf0e4.html). Sigh. (BUT! As an upshot because of early LGBTQ+ political organizing, I am currently represented by both a gay congressman and a lesbian senator! Like as a direct result--the earlier generation inspired Mark Pocan and Tammy Baldwin to go into politics.)

And--I really wanted to talk about this in the book, but the book is not about the protest movement. Those few paragraphs (and giving Dionysus to the underdogs and the marginalized, which is…not necessarily a bad claim to make? Like his followers in The Bacchae are women, but we also don't really know much about his cult because it was a mystery cult, so nothing was written down) were really the best I could wedge it in there. As I move into the second book and start thinking about Ulysses's discomfort at becoming part of the establishment, this is one of the things I've been turning over in my mind.

It's not like everyone involved at UW or in the community as a whole is terrible. There were plenty of professors who opposed this shit, and also people who were students at the time who went on to become the old radical professors I studied under. But it's easy to see, looking at the history, that administrators and city officials are again and again handed the chance to do the right thing, and again and again they just throw it the fuck away.

So that's, like, a very brief overview. TL;DR I have three degrees from UW and on a good day I'm only mildly embarrassed by this fact.

Queer books, day 30/30

Okay I have owed this post for like a while now. This was supposed to be over July 1st and I didn't do it and now it's hanging over my head like some kind of sword situation.

So like I did write this, and I do feel a little bad for promoting it here, but on the other hand it's a really good book and I have to tell people about it.

Dionysus in Wisconsin follows Ulysses Lenkov and Sam Sterling around Madison in late 1969. Ulysses is a grad student in the Department of Magic Studies, with all the regrets and avoidant behavior that entails, but also a magician and a member of the magic community in Madison, and he tries to help the people he runs into. (Also ghosts. He helps ghosts.) At the beginning, he gets a warning that something big/dangerous/bad is coming, and quickly figures out that the something is tied to Sam somehow. Sam is an otherwise very innocuous archivist who works at the State Historical Society and is involved in community theater in his spare time.

Side note, I learned that there is a woman in my aikido dojo who also works for the historical society and I feel weird about having written about it, but as she said herself, "It's a weird place."

After initial suspicion, the two of them work together to fight demons and try to figure out how to deal with the something, which turns out to be Dionysus (yes, the god) who is set to take over Sam's body.

Key quote:

Oh, also it's funny. Not quite a romcom (unless com means communism), but it's funny.

Anyway, this was a book that I wrote because I really wanted to read a romance that didn't have a third-act breakup, where there was a lot of chemistry and vibes between the MCs, no homophobia to worry about really, and also there was like magic and creepy stuff going on in the plot, and the plot had like a satisfying conclusion to it, which doesn't always happen in romances. And then I populated the book with people who were people that I know--the kind of weird Madison people I run into every day. I have a lot of mixed feelings about Wisconsin in general (like, it's not bad if you don't mind sometimes it's -20 degrees F and there's a lot of liberals but also a lot of NIMBYism and I could fill a dictionary with the sins of the city, that's not the point), but I have come to a renewed appreciation of the place after writing about it. For example, the house Ulysses's family lives in is real, it looks like this, it's in a place that's really called Mansion Hill, and I just find it incredibly funny to let a large family of Bohemian Bolsheviks live in it.

Anyway, 10/10, go read it. You can buy it on Amazon, or on other platforms (the ebook is $3.99, the paperback is $13.99), or if you want a signed copy you can send me a message. I'm selling them for $15. Also, I have free postcards of the cover if you would like one.

In the Madison area, there are (or were) copies at Kismet Books in Verona (an extremely trans- and queer-friendly store and super adorable!) and A Room of One's Own might have sold their copy but they can order it if they have the ISBN.

(Oh, I painted the cover, too. You can get it on a T-shirt or a sticker if you like that kind of thing.)

Plague strikes in Jaffa.

Larrey has established his ambulance in a trench near the ramparts and observes that several wounded also present suspicious bluish tumors in the groin. Everything saddens and overwhelms him; for the first time, he understands with fear that a blind butchery can replace loyal fighting. "I will dispense with speaking of the horrible consequences which the assault of a place usually entails. I sadly witnessed that of Jaffa."

With his colleagues, he operates, heals and treats 242 wounded, which he evacuates to a large convent, without neglecting around twenty wounded women whom he treats for several days in a row. For his part, Desgenettes has opened a second hospital where the "feverish" are flocking.

"I refused to ever pronounce the name of plague," he said, faithful in this to Bonaparte's instructions. Psychologically, this carefully nurtured official lie is beneficial, as the sick can retain hope of recovery, and the rest of the military retain a carefree, high morale.

Larrey, a man of practice, observes that out of ten patients stricken with plague, five to eight die from it despite the courage and zeal that he grants to Desgenettes. At this rate, the whole army risks perishing through ignorance of the danger: "Let us not believe, however, that the name of plague has greatly frightened our soldiers. They were too accustomed to receiving all kinds of impressions without emotion. Their moral and physical sensibility was, so to speak, blunted by the various shocks they had received in the painful campaigns which they had already made. It would therefore have been desirable, from the first days of the invasion of the plague, to have presented to the soldier, under the less unfavorable colors however, the true character of this disease [..] "

During the crossing of the Mediterranean, Larrey has read the report of the plague of Marseilles in 1720 and he remembers that Chirac, then doctor of the Regent, had held as a dogma that this alleged malignant fever was not contagious, until the streets strewn with 50,000 dead bodies brought him a tragic denial. Larrey expends great effort in demanding that the army's bivouacs be established outside the city, that clothing, objects and various debris abandoned by the Turks and likely to be contaminated be burned in the streets. To his great displeasure, he was told of Bonaparte's visit to the contagious district. [..]

Going from bed to bed, Bonaparte questions each patient, jokes with him and comforts him; arrived in the middle of the room, he stops and for an hour and a half, discusses with Larrey, Desgenettes and the medical staff about the hygienic conditions and how to improve the organization. This visit lasts too long, say the doctors. In such a dangerous environment, one cannot afford to expose the head of the army, the one on whom everything rests, so the entourage moves so as to lead him discreetly towards the exit.

The maneuver is about to succeed when Bonaparte sees a nurse lifting a plague victim whose clothes are still soiled with pus. Without anyone being able to hold him back, the general rushes forward, takes the patient in his arms, squeezes a bubo to extract the pus, then lets the nurse finish.

For Desgenettes, this is too much; he pushes Bonaparte towards the door.

"What have you done, general, haven't you measured the danger?

-But I'm only doing my duty, am I not the general-in-chief? "

The feat goes around the army [..]

In the evening, Larrey makes an assessment of his days, reflects, compiles his files, sorts his observations or autopsies recent dead to unravel the mystery of what is still unknown.

He gathers well-verified facts. Twelve to fifteen daily deaths prove the epidemic and contagious nature; if the disease begins with a high fever, a delusional state, a charcoal purpura, the buboes do not have time to appear because death occurs in less than twenty-four hours. If, on the contrary, the buboes appear first, give good suppuration and if the fever does not ignite until after two days, the prognosis is much better: "It is also probable that this pestilential germ acts in the manner of a few other viruses, such as smallpox, measles and scarlet fever (...) During the campaign in Syria, I wanted to search, even in the bowels of the dead, for the causes and effects of the plague. " [..]

Student Memory: What It Is & Why It Matters

Rena Yehuda Newman, Student Historian in Residence 2018 - 2019

Black Student Leaders Wahid Rashad, Harvey Clay, and others at Rally During UW Black Student Strike, February 1969

A song to listen to as you read: Archive, by Mal Blum

Student memory is a constant struggle. This is an axiom that every student organizer or worker knows intuitively. On college campuses, every four or five years means a complete turnover of knowledge. There is only a brief window for continuity. So, what does it mean to pass down memory in a place with such a transient population?

As a student historian, I’ve been researching the student activism of the 1960s Vietnam War era on UW-Madison’s campus. But there are significant gaps in the collections, namely, the voices of the student organizers who led the most major protest movements of their time, like the Black Student Strike. While it’s a relatively new phenomenon for archives to serve communities rather than powerful institutions, the same problem seems to be happening continually -- no one is documenting the campus activism of 2019.

Not only does this mean the erasure of student history, but also the continued forgetting of modern student memory, leaving each successive generation of students without context. This causes major problems for students engaged in social issues and policy change. Without memory of previous happenings and student-led initiatives, ideas and already-fought battles, students are at a severe disadvantage. Tireless hours by student activists can be undone. And if each year brings new amnesia, momentum is irrecoverably lost.

With this in mind, we have to ask: Who benefits from forgetting?

In my time as a student organizer, activism for or against new policies often feels like a race against the clock. I’ve heard time and time again that the administration and board of regents relishes a certain temporal safety. However awful a policy, however bad the student backlash, they can just wait it out until no student on campus remembers the time before. Those in power always benefit from public forgetting.

For example, in 2017 - 2018, University Housing unleashed a new mandatory meal plan without the input or consent of the student body, requiring all first years living in residential housing to pay an additional $1400 into WiscCard accounts, to be used exclusively for eating at the dining halls. This policy directly harmed low income students, students with eating disorders and dietary restrictions, and impacted students’ right to choose where and how they eat on campus. Major protests ensued all of last year, including an hour-long shutdown of UW’s most major dining hall. But many incoming freshman have no idea this policy is new, or that their fellow students spent countless hours fighting for an opt-out. Without a sense of memory, the student body is ill-equipped to advocate for itself and address harms they may experience but never be aware of.

Another example: in 2017, Governor Scott Walker tried to slash students’ ability to self-tax through allocable segregated fees, which would have effectively killed all of UW-Madison’s most major student organizations, many of which offer vital services for students like the Rape Crisis Center or the campus food pantry, The Open Seat. Students fought and won against this policy proposal, but the same issue could arise again. If students don’t know about this history of advocacy, the next time segregated fees are attacked, those future students will be forced to reinvent the wheel.

I want to bring together these two strands of maintaining student memory and recording student history. It seems that they are heavily dependent on each other -- if new students are given a sense of memory, “caught up to speed” with previous events on campus, all students benefit. I’m going to spend this spring collecting student materials to fill in the gaps. But I can’t do it alone, especially because as a white student, many of these are not my stories to tell.

We have so much to gain from remembering.

How should a student body organize against collective amensia?

Last week I presented to Associated Students of Madison (ASM), the UW-Madison student government about maintaining student memory. I believe student government can have an important role to play in creating workshops, sessions, and publications to educate students about their own past. Student government might also take it upon itself to do documentation work, creating folders full of posters and graphics and materials from recent organizing movements, especially on campuses where there isn’t a paid student historian to do this labor.

But this kind of documentation should happen at a grassroots level beyond student government. Student institutions and organizations have important roles to play, but are not representative. All students, especially students of marginalized identities, should keep records of themselves, write about their experiences, compile the materials of daily life and continuous struggle present in their time on campus. Creating “Disorientation Guides” to give to new students is useful. Though an individualist and professional culture usually means hoarding credit, fight back against this impulse by saying the names of fellow students and organizers who have also done the work. Create a folder on your computer of screenshots, receipts. Leave citations, make a record.

Collect for the future and fine ways to revive the past. Take opportunities in classes to research local historical student issues. Go dig around in your university’s archives. Ask for the wisdom of elders who have been around for a while. Tell the stories you learn, especially the stories that give you hope or create resilience in you -- make art about them, publish zines about them. Keep it alive.

Memory is protection against erasure. People and institutions of power will not record our stories, but we can. Create your files, archive your experiences. Make memory out of story then find a way to tell it. If you trust them, donate your materials to your local archive, especially university archvies. If you don’t, make your own. Either way, write it down. Collect it.

To all student activists engaged in the struggle: In fifty years, there may be a student wondering what their campus did during Trump Era America. Don’t let that story be written for you. Pick up your pen, fill up your boxes.

You are a historical subject, act like it.

- Rena Yehuda Newman (They/Them)

SF-X 002 : Cursed Hearts and Coronets (PART 2)

SECONDARY WORLD X-FILES - SF-X

The X-Files X Once Upon A Time with Snow White: A Tale of Terror vibes.

This is the series I'm *not writing* so enjoy my musings about how this mashup might work and feel free to chip in with comments and ideas, the "episodes" will end up being pretty organic!

The Characters

EIRLYS [Welsh name pronounced eye-rr-lis, lis as in listen] is the disabled court alchemist, but is secretly the missing-presumed-dead princess, posing as the Queen's niece. To get out of her arranged marriage(s) and follow her dream of becoming an alchemist, her stepmother (the Queen Regent ENORA) helped her to fake her own death in the Greenwood and enroll in an academy beyond their borders. Her birthname was Gwennerch, but she pretends to be from another region of the kingdom and took the name Eirlys instead - she had a nurse from that part of the kingdom as a child, and can mimic the accent and the regional dialect perfectly. (The Queen Regent then got to marry the prince of the neighbouring kingdom herself, and that's worked out very well for both of them, possibly because he's a twink and she's bi but with a preference for women and their alliance is the best political option for both of them, and their marriage is purely political and as open as the night sky, but I digress.) Eirlys is certain everything can be explained by alchemy, even the magic system, and that what is still unknown about how magic works (as a neutral force occurring in nature which creatures have evolved to harness and practitioners can use and wield) can be explained by alchemical processes and through the philosophy of alchemy. She has close friends at the academy - most of whom are also disabled from various lab accidents - working on this very theory. Eirlys had a few bad accidents in the alchemists' guild academy herself, leaving her with a pronounced limp and several skin conditions that she needs to take care of, and some difficulty in breathing due to fumes that wrecked her lungs. She became very well-respected in the field and returned to court as the Queen Regent's "niece", her appearance so altered with glamours and alchemical tricks that nobody has figured out who she is. Eirlys takes an active role in the court as the royal alchemist, working with the armoury and physicians, but she is also interested in how to use these skills to solve crimes. With this in mind, Queen Enora asks her to assist BRIAC, a cursed noble in Beast form whose curse can no longer be broken (more on him in the next post), and support his investigations into the darker, weirder and more complex cases brought to the Court of the Queen's Bench by local shire-reeves (commonly truncated to 'sheriffs' or just 'reeves') out of their depth. She is intensely practical, pragmatic and focused on her work, but would like to have a bit more going on in her personal life: she struggles to relax and have hobbies. She has a number of close friends from the alchemist academy, who are her found-family. Leaving them behind is hard for her, but she will invite them over to help out with different cases as the series progresses. Eirlys is asexual and greyromantic, but bi-orientated. She has a longstanding sapphic thing with a fellow alchemist that she's known for years.

Emily’s Far Reach ability kind of sucks :: Dishonored 2 General Discussions

💾 ►►► DOWNLOAD FILE 🔥🔥🔥 Civilians are the predominant inhabitants of the known world , residing in the Empire of the Isles. Many find jobs in organizations such as the Grand Serkonan Guard , while others become Overseers. Turning to criminal organizations such as the Dead Eels is also quite common. While most are peaceful at first, they will all become hostile when provoked, generally fleeing, though those armed will fight back. Engineers are civilians who specialize in the maintenance of technical systems, such as the waterlock at Dunwall Tower. Corvo Attano finds two of them working there during the mission Returning Home , discussing Anton Sokolov's latest changes to the waterlock system. One of these engineers still works at Dunwall Tower after the Lord Regent's changes, giving Corvo an alternate entrance to the Tower. Laborers are civilians who have found employment in Dunwall. Daud can find them working at the Rothwild Slaughterhouse. Many of those laborers dislike working under Bundry Rothwild's Butchers and are more than happy to assist Daud in his mission to seek information about the whaling trawler Delilah. Daud has the option of rescuing some of them from confinement at the Slaughterhouse. Looters are armed survivors found stealing in abandoned areas of the city, such as the Flooded District. Corvo encounters two in a building near Rudshore Gate, and can easily pickpocket them but not otherwise interact with them. The looters will either hit or kick Corvo if he stands directly in front of them for an extended amount of time but will otherwise not be hostile, unless attacked. Survivors are individuals who have managed to survive both the rat plague and the violence within Dunwall. They are most often found in deserted areas not occupied by the City Watch , criminal factions such as the Bottle Street Gang , or weepers. Many survivors work as laborers or servants to support themselves. They are not hostile to Corvo or Daud and will converse with either if prompted, usually talking about the plague, the Watch, or other unfortunate happenings. In two instances in The Flooded District mission, groups of survivors found in low chaos will instead be weepers in high chaos. Beggars are the very lowest kinds of civilians, having no home and little in terms of possessions. For a small fee , many of them can be persuaded to reveal some information to Corvo or Emily Kaldwin that can be of great assistance in their current mission. However, if the protagonist steals from them, or walks right by, they will express their disgust and refuse to assist. Burglars are those civilians that have turned to a life of petty crime, below the scale of gangs such as the Howlers. The protagonist can encounter two female burglars attempting to rob the black market shop in the Lower Aventa District. They will be hostile upon seeing Corvo or Emily. Civilians are the usual inhabitants of the Isles. Some are aristocrats , while others are those who work in shops , or provide musical entertainment to passersby. When prompted, many will comment on how Corvo's mask or Emily's scarf blocks their face, or other such nebulous happenings such as the bloodfly infestation in Serkonos. Many can be encountered in groups, often playing dice or talking to others about unfortunate happenings, which can sometimes provide clues to the protagonist. When the protagonist is in places they are not supposed to be, civilians will instead tell them to hurry along as they cannot help, and will flee to safety after a short time, alerting nearby guards. Those that own shops will tend to notice when they are being robbed, and will often walk ostensibly calmly out of the protagonist's reach before fleeing to safety. They will also flee when they realise the Grand Guard considers the protagonist an enemy, or when the protagonist knocks into them multiple times. After a short while, civilians will stop cowering and return to work, though they will be on edge and refuse to talk to the protagonist. Shopkeepers are those who run the illegal black market shops in the Empire. While some do have assistants, [1] Corvo and Emily only encounter them alone. Each is behind the secure bars of their respective black market shop, located in areas ranging from the reputable Campo Seta Dockyards to the near-abandoned Tower District. If they spot anyone in their shop with them, they will cower away, closing the shop. Workers are civilians who have managed to obtain a job involving physical labor. Armed with large wrenches, pipes or pickaxes, workers tend to have a more aggressive personality than civilians, and will often tell the protagonist to move on. If ignored, or if they notice others being attacked, they will become hostile towards the protagonist. In combat, they will attack with their weapon, though that deals noticeably less damage than swords. They will also punch and kick a fair bit, dealing no damage but knocking the protagonist back. If the protagonist gets out of reach they will throw objects at them. Dishonored Wiki Explore. Abilities Natural Abilities Supernatural Abilities. Explore Wikis Community Central.

I drew out words with my bugs, on a surface of wall where Regent would be able to see. ‘Evacuate.’

youtube

He ran his fingers through the bugs. After a moment’s thought, I gathered them into a square, organized by rank and file. It took me two tries, but I managed to make them move to form letters, then regroup.

What’s with the square army? I could see that being the start of forming a map to show him which way to go (though arrows would probably be better)...

Oh, now I get it. It’s an easy starting point for moving them into letter forms quickly.

He dragged his fingertip through the bugs to spell out a reply. ‘Can’t. We run we can’t keep crawler down’.

A keyboard. This is neat.

Also I know it’s just a result of how Wildbow decided to format this, but I like the slight implication that Regent somehow capitalized the starts of each sentence but not Crawler’s name. That kind of typing... quirk, if you will, carrying through implies that Taylor included a shift key or a caps set, and Regent bothered to use it. :p

‘We’re coming,’ I wrote to him.

“Let’s go!” I called out. Tattletale turned in her seat and kicked Bentley to get him going. Grue did the same for Sirius.

It was worth a shot.
