Here, have a part from an Elwing/Earendil/Celebrimbor fic that I'll likely never finish. Earendil and Celebrimbor.

“Cousin,” he called him, because that was the word his mother used when she told him fond stories from her own childhood. Maybe there was a better word for them, but then perhaps not. He’d heard of no other families like his great-grandfather’s among the elves. So, “Cousin,” he said, gentle now, fingers brushing his chin, “please. Let me see.” Celebrimbor let him push his head up and brush the hair from his face with a careful finger. Bruises shadowed his left eye and cheek around the split skin. Beneath that, his eyes looked tired, exhausted in the way only elven eyes could beneath their own light. He was not well. “Who did this?” Celebrimbor didn’t meet his gaze. “It was just a misunderstanding.” “A misunderstanding?” Eärendil repeated with disbelief. “That left you bloodied, broken, and hiding in my ship?” A small smile. A deflection. “I didn’t know it was yours.”

Yesterday my anat & phys teacher called me, personally, a Nerdfighter, during lecture, in front of the entire class. And today I held a real brain from a deceased creature in my hands. I poked a stick into one of its many tubes and found a beautiful plexus there.. Thus was loosed forth some Gunk, which dripped onto my drawing of it - does the mind contaminate itself? What homogenized muscarinic tissues might we find in the spinal cord? What vital arboreal geodes comprise the cerebellum!

Prenursing school is getting . Good

yeah sure, rereading your in-progress WIPs and wishing you could read the rest is one thing, but have you ever felt the forbidden yearning of rereading an OUTLINE for a project you're not allowed to start writing yet?

I miss this light fixture, but it did only light one half of the room at a time.

Just to let yall know (in case anyone is fretting about it because I know I would be if I was in this position) I did get the requests. I'm just having a bit of a mental health situation.

Nothing bad. Just brain won't.... brain.

Just hold music up there right now. Whatever agency in my brain that was taking calls has left me on hold and forgotten about me.

The requests (and the commission and birthday gift) will get done eventually. As soon as someone comes back and picks up the phone.

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

ok, i'll confess, since you asked: i sent the ask about the anton video to this blog specifically because i was going to make a riding joke, but i was a coward and backed out of adding it. forgive me!

No you're soooooooo real for this. I will not pretend the same sort of joke didn't cross my mind.....

Quick reminder as we head into Trump’s first week in office. We are about to see an onslaught of executive actions designed to strip of us our rights. We’ve seen this before.

Many of them won’t be legal, many of them won’t take effect immediately, and some of them will be just plain nonsense. Trump alone can’t change the law (yet anyway- that’s Congress) and there is an official government process for enacting most executive actions that works slowly.*

There will be time to fight against these orders—either by stopping them entirely, weakening them, or at least slowing them down.

The purpose of doing so many terrible things at once is to scare us. Is to intimidate us to cede more ground than we need to. Don’t let them.

Stay engaged, stay angry, stay hopeful (or spiteful- me tbh), and—most importantly—stay strategic. Find an organization you trust, follow them, and take action when they ask you to.

(Side note- pick just a few issues to care deeply about and only follow a few organizations you trust. Don’t try to solve everything all the time or consume every piece of news. You WILL burn yourself out and that’s not helpful for anyone. Trust me, speaking from experience. Staying 15% engaged is better than 120% for three months and then 0%).

What we’re seeing right now is a backlash to decades of progress—a dying (and by extension dangerous I’m not gonna lie) breath of those in power desperate to maintain control. They wouldn’t be trying to squash us if there wasn’t something to squash.

TL;DR- there’s gonna be a lot of bad stuff in the news today. Don’t give into panic. There will be time to fight most of it. Stay engaged.

*Unfortunately, there will be some actions the President can control on his own and will take effect immediately. ICE Raids being one of them. Here’s a Know Your Rights factsheet. To learn more and stay informed on this issue, recommend following National Immigration Law Center, CASA, Immigrant Defense Project.
