Around them, the crowd had gone feral. The night's earlier grief had been discarded, and in its place was a bloodlust for revenge. Back in Loui-siana, Bill Johnson had seen a crowd turn. He'd watched, helpless, as men with torches set fire to a black settlement. And the law? Hell, some of those lawmen were the ones who lit the torches.

a little kate laswell x gn!reader drabble

-> insecurity, anxiety, hurt/comfort, relationship worries, OCD, sooooo self indulgent lmao, self-hatred, therapy, compulsive behaviors, ableist language used towards self, shame, this is literally nothing and theres no real ending so mb <3

You've been working on it. You have. The anxiety; the fear of abandonment. Kate leaves so often she's probably gone almost half the year, anyway. Your relationship isn't exactly built on physical closeness, and as the years go by you feel more and more secure.

She fits, you fit, your cat Cheddar fits. The house fits, even though it sometimes feels too big when she's gone and you're still a little afraid of being home alone.

Security's tight, babe, she's assured you a dozen times. Locks, alarms, the whole nine yards. Everything works. You're usually close to sure about that.

So, you’ve worked on recognizing which feelings are rooted in reality, and which feelings sometimes come from insecurity, or jealousy.

Sometimes, it's fear. That old braying beast in your head, muddling up reality (Kate loves you) with unreality (she hates you, your life is a lie).

You know where it comes from, but that doesn't always help. On the bad days, it even makes it worse. Something is wrong with you, really really wrong. Irredeemably wrong.

Kate's been on an op three months. Longer than usual, but you've been through it a couple times. It's a serious one, so you haven't even gotten more than the odd phone call maybe once every week and a half.

Which fucking sucks normally, but its worse when you can't seem to shake the voice in your head that says she's found someone else, that she's delaying coming home because she's sick of you.

You do have a small laugh at the one that tells you she's got a secret family – even in the state you're in that's a ridiculous thought.

Still, it doesn’t break you from your worries. You begin backsliding. Your hands chafe from washing them, your water bill climbs and climbs and climbs as a result of your compulsive showering.

Am I too dirty? You think. You feel dirty. Contaminated. Maybe that’s why she doesn’t like you anymore, doesn’t love you. Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be, not with your insanity.

This is the cycle.

Someone will break in. You check the locks an even number of times. But did you? Okay, shower to ‘set’ the locks now, or someone really will break in. Don’t think of Kate. She hates you. Oh, hey Cheddar. Good boy. Did you lock the doors?

You’re exhausted. You lose track of the days, working robotically at your computer, burning your nose with the scent of bleach wipes. There’s not even any real cleaning, just you compulsively wiping the same four surfaces over and over.

When the wood starts showing a little damage from the incessant wiping, you cry in the fourth shower of the day.

You lose track so badly that you’re in bed rotting when Kate gets home.

The door opens, and your heart drops with fear – fuck, it’s happening. Then you check your phone and deflate. Fuck, you think again, for a different reason.

“Baby?” Kate’s voice is clear in the empty house. It makes you think of all the dust laying around, about how you usually tidy before she arrives.

You pull the cover over your face. Shame burns your face, injects lead into your muscles.

“You home?” she calls again. Cheddar meows, probably at her feet.

That’s how she finds you. Prone, upset, eyes burning.

“Oh, baby,” she murmurs. Her weight makes you dip towards her when she crawls on the bed. “Bad day?”

You pull the blanket down.

“I’m sorry,” you say. “I meant to clean the house for you, and cook you something–”

“Hey,” she puts a finger to your lips, slipping in beside you to cradle one cheek in her rough palm, body pressed to yours.

You can’t help but lean into it despite feeling wretched, despite feeling like you’ve dirtied everything around you lately.

“I don’t need any of that, honey. I appreciate it, but I’m really just excited to see you,” she presses her mouth to your jaw. Not to entice, but to breathe you in, to feel you for the first time in months.

“But it’s awful,” you mumble. “It’s dusty, dirty, disgusting–”

She stops you again.

“Hey now, it looks fine to me,” then a frown. “How long have you been feeling like this?”

“I don’t know,” you admit. It’s the truth.

“Have you called Dr. Klein?”

“No,” finally, a tear slips down your temple. You’re confused, and angry about these feelings; why now? Why when you’ve recovered?

Kate tuts, wiping at your tear with a thumb. She climbs halfway on top of you, looking down at your face. She looks tired, which makes you feel even guiltier.

“God, I’m sorry. You shouldn’t have to deal with this when you’ve just gotten back.”

Her frown deepens.

“Baby,” she starts. “We take care of each other, remember? What have we talked about?”

“Asking for help is okay,” you murmur. That’s one of the worst parts about this thing you have, the obsessions. They dress themselves up as the world's worst taboos. Speak them aloud and make them not only come true, but alienate everyone around you. In high school, you’d hardly spoken for fear of accidentally revealing your anxiety.

That in and of itself had been a years-long journey to heal in therapy. With Dr. Klein, with Kate, with yourself.

“Think we better set up an appointment, huh?” she says, and there’s no judgment in her voice, no sign of hatred.

“Yeah,” you whisper. You tilt your head towards her, and feel her nose against yours.

“I missed you,” she says, breath mingling with yours.

“I missed you too,” you say back.

LEO BILL as REGINALD BRAY in THE WHITE QUEEN S1 E6 (part 1)

[ladybugmania]

(To the tune of "A horse is a horse, of course, of course")

(Think 1960s sitcom jingle vibes)

Verse 1:

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,

Unless she's yelling in Congress discourse,

She gallops through bills with wild remorse,

It’s Marjorie T, the hoofed tour de force!

Chorus:

She neighed on the floor and filibustered fate,

Believes that space lasers control the state,

Snorts when she speaks and kicks up dust,

Thinks facts are optional — trust is just rust!

Verse 2:

No one can talk to a horse like her,

She debates with mirrors and calls it a spur,

She tweets in all caps, neighs in reply,

And swears JFK Jr. is still alive!

Bridge:

She munches on bills like a bag of oats,

Wears tinfoil hats with conspiracy coats,

Says windmills are woke and vaccines are plots,

She’s the queen of Q and unfiltered thoughts!

Chorus 2:

Clip-clop goes Marge down the House hallways,

As logic runs off and reason decays,

But give her a mic, she’ll bray and she'll preach,

About Satan in Starbucks and freedom of bleach!

Outro:

So if you hear hooves on Capitol Hill,

And see someone hoofing with zero chill,

Don’t call the vet — no need for concern,

It’s Marjorie Greene — now trot and adjourn!

Safety panel urges NASA to reassess Artemis mission objectives to reduce risk

ORLANDO, Fla. — A safety panel is calling on NASA to reassess to plans for upcoming Artemis missions, arguing that the agency is packing too many objectives into each mission.

At a Jan. 30 public meeting of the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP), members reiterated past concerns about the number of first-time objectives planned for Artemis 3, the first crewed lunar landing of the overall campaign, and later missions.

“Each first milestone carries its own individual risk and, as these risks are compounded and aggregated, it only increases the overall risk posture for any individual flight mission,” said Bill Bray, a member of the panel. “It really begs the question, is it time for the agency to reassess the current mission objectives and its approach for Artemis 3 and beyond, with the goal to better balance the risks across all those flight tests?”

ASAP has previously expressed its concerns about the number of firsts on Artemis 3, such as in its most recent annual report released in early 2024. That report listed 13 separate firsts for the mission, mostly tied to the Starship lunar lander and new spacesuits being developed by Axiom Space.

That list has only grown since then, he noted, with changes to the heat shield for Orion. NASA announced in December that it would reformulate the Avcoat material used in the heat shield for Artemis 3 and later missions to prevent the heat shield erosion seen on the Artemis 1 reentry.

Those concerns extend beyond Artemis 3, Bray said, with later missions incorporating the lunar Gateway, the Blue Moon crewed lunar lander and a lunar rover. “Each of these elements under development and delivery requires a near-perfect program execution across a complex set of tests and milestones and, frankly, there’s very little room for failure.”

Problems with a single key element, he concluded, “will result in continued launch delays and an irregular and erratic cadence of mission flights,” an issue ASAP has also previously raised. It also creates “an increased risk posture” for Artemis missions.

Bray said that ASAP discussed the issue with Amit Kshatriya, deputy associate administrator of NASA’s Moon to Mars Program Office, at recent meetings. The panel urged NASA to “treat each launch as a test objective, like the Apollo program, with clear test objectives that could be balanced across all launch events” and ensure a more regular cadence of missions.

He didn’t disclose NASA’s response to those concerns but said that ASAP will continue to press NASA to reexamine its Artemis mission plans “and consider reallocation of test objectives to achieve a more regular launch cadence with a more balanced risk exposure.”

Gateway and HLS progress

The ASAP meeting took place a day after a panel at the SpaceCom conference here on aspects of NASA’s Artemis lunar exploration campaign. That included some changes to aspects of the overall architecture, although not in response to concerns by ASAP.

Mark Wiese, manager of NASA’s Deep Space Logistics program, said that the agency did, as previously planned, give SpaceX an authorization to proceed on the first mission of the Gateway Logistics Services program in late 2023. SpaceX received a contract in 2020 to transport cargo to and from the Gateway using Dragon XL, a version of its Dragon cargo spacecraft.

“We spent all of last year working very collaboratively with SpaceX,” he said, but noted that Gateway’s logistics needs have “evolved” since the contract was awarded, creating unspecified constraints.

That has resulted in changes in SpaceX’s approach to delivering cargo. “They’re starting to retool their architecture,” Wiese said, with the agency in the final phases of a contract modification. “I’m going to leave it to them to unveil some of the changes that are coming, but we’ve worked through some significant changes on what this logistics module and logistics spacecraft looks like.”

SpaceX has not disclosed any changes to its architecture of the Dragon XL spacecraft and has said little publicly about the program. Wiese said NASA and SpaceX are working towards a system requirements review later this year as part of plans for an initial mission to support Artemis 4, the first crewed mission to the Gateway, current scheduled for 2028.

On the same panel, Kent Chojnacki, deputy manager of NASA’s Human Landing System (HLS) program, said both Blue Origin and SpaceX were making good progress on their contracts to develop crewed lunar landers.

“SpaceX is not shy about advertising their success,” he said, referring to the series of Starship/Super Heavy test flights. “The flight demonstrations they have been doing have been phenomenal.” He added the company has been making progress on other aspects of the Starship HLS design, such as tests of the Starship airlock and elevator using crews wearing prototypes of Axiom’s lunar spacesuits.

The same is true of Blue Origin, he said, noting both the successful first launch of the company’s New Glenn rocket in January as well as testing of landing legs for its Blue Moon lander.

For the year ahead, Chojnacki said after the panel that a key milestone will be an in-space propellant transfer demonstration by SpaceX, a key technology needed for sending Starship to the moon. “They have shown us a plan to get to a propellant transfer this year,” he said, a schedule that could be affected by the Starship anomaly on its most recent test flight Jan. 16.

For Blue Origin, a key milestone will be a critical design review for Blue Moon. “Blue looks more like NASA in that we do a lot of design and development first, then we go build a lot of hardware and test it,” he said. “SpaceX is a little different.”

LEO BILL as REGINALD BRAY in THE WHITE QUEEN S1 E5

[bywandandsword]

I finally finished the Diviners by Libba Bray and 1) This book hasn't gotten nearly the amount of fandom interaction that it deserves and 2) Libba Bray does not pull any fucking punches when it comes to the uncomfortable parts of history, good lord

It's so so good. She's clearly done so much research and it makes my history nerd heart so full. And then the story! I want to know what the fuck Uncle Will is hiding and where all these character's paths will lead. Where's Sam's mom? Is Isiah really ok? What's going to happen now that Evie has gone public with her power?

Also, I'm hereby adopting Memphis Campbell. That boy is getting a warm blanket, cocoa, and therapy starting immediately. And I'll personally kick the shit out of Bill Johnson if he comes anywhere near either of the Campbell boys again. I don't care that he's an old, mostly blind man, I'll fucking do it
